On The Watch “It’s All About Rolando Romero vs Isaac Cruz”

WBA Light Welterweight Showdown

A new Champion emerged last night when Rolando Romero (15-2, 13 Kos) defended his WBA Light Welterweight Championship against the always ready “Pitbull” Isaac Cruz (26-2-1, 18 Kos) but got dominated from start to finish at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Real Talk!

Prior to the bout Rolly did a lot of talking trying to bully and talk down on Isaac but he did very little inside that squared circle to back any of it up. It was quite evident from the first bell that Isaac was in seek and destroy mode from the jump. The stalking tactics from Isaac were on full display and had the bigger man in Rolly surprisingly on his bike trying to stay away from the hungry “Pitbull” trying to catch his prey.


Whenever Rolly did try to stand his ground going toe-to-toe and exchanging shots, he showed absolutely no power in his punches which was very shocking. The nonstop pressure that Cruz was coming at him with was too much for him and was visibly breaking him down round by round.

That being said, Rolly had nothing in his arsenal to deter “Pitbull” from having his way with him inside that squared circle. Cruz’s power and relentlessness with his ambition to crush the opposition was all that he needed to put Rolly away. By the eight round the referee at hand had seen enough one-sided damage being administered towards Rolly that he opted to stop the bout. Rightfully so.

With this emphatic win now under his belt Isaac becomes the New WBA Light Welterweight Champion of the World.

Well done, Champ! Mexico stand Up!

On The Watch “It’s All About Gervonta Davis vs Isaac Cruz”

WBA “Regular” Lightweight challenge

Sunday night’s Showtime PPV Main Event between WBA “Regular” Lightweight Champion Gervonta Davis (26-0, 24 Kos) and Isaac Cruz (22-2-1, 15 Kos) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA was an exciting bout that had Tank reaching into his toolbox to pull of the win after injuring his left hand at the midpoint of the bout. Real Talk!

Isaac came out the gate like a hungry “Pitbull” ready to take out his prey. His steady aggressive style was key to applying pressure on Tank who did a lot of movement, slipping and dipping, countering Cruz with some well-timed combinations preventing Cruz from having an easy stationary target.

Cruz’s style forced Tank to stay light on his feet and use more of his boxing skills adjusting on the fly and countering Cruz’s nonstop pressure. Cruz made this bout a lot tougher than I expected it to be for Davis. The Kid is tough as nails and took some heavy shots from Tank but never looked deterred as the rounds were piling up.

Cruz’s resilience inside that squared circle made this bout intriguing since Tank had to work to secure this bout. Cruz put it all on the line and fought a hell of a fight going toe to toe with a known heavy banger like Tank.

That being said, there are levels to this boxing sh*t and Tank kept his composure, flipped the script on Cruz and boxed his way with an injured left hand (his money shot) all the way to the 12th round. The Judges scored it 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113 unanimously for Gervonta Davis.

I tip my “B” hat to Isaac for giving us such a great performance. The Kid is tough, durable and a serious problem to any Lightweight in the Division. This was a competitive bout from start to finish with leather being thrown from both sides but the more accurate and effective work came from the Champ. Hands Down.

Congratulations Gervonta, this was a tougher win then expected but you prevailed – now on to the next one.
