In a highly anticipated boxing match set to take place on March 30th, promoter Oscar De La Hoya is confident that Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz will achieve a knockout victory against WBA light welterweight champion Rolando 'Rolly' Romero. The fight, part of the Keith Thurman vs. Tim Tszyu card, will be available for streaming on Amazon Prime PPV from the prestigious T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
De La Hoya believes that Cruz, despite being the smaller fighter, will compensate for his size disadvantage by applying relentless pressure to overwhelm Romero. With a professional record of 25 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw, including 17 knockouts, Pitbull Cruz is no stranger to delivering powerful punches. De La Hoya is convinced that this strategy will work in Cruz's favor and allow him to dethrone Romero, who currently holds the WBA light welterweight title.
When asked about the possibility of a future fight between Pitbull Cruz and rising star Ryan Garcia, De La Hoya stated that it will ultimately depend on whether Cruz proves himself deserving of the opportunity. With the promising prospect of capturing the WBA 140-lb belt, Cruz could potentially secure a shot at Garcia, who himself holds great potential in the boxing world.
The size difference between Cruz, standing at 5'4', and the larger Rolly Romero may prove to be a perceived advantage for Romero. However, De La Hoya is confident that Pitbull's fierce fighting style will overcome any physical discrepancies. Pressure fighting has been Cruz's specialty, and De La Hoya firmly believes that it will be the key to his victory.
The new trainer for Rolly Romero is expected to implement a defensive game plan, keeping him mobile and tying up Cruz whenever he gets within range. While this strategy may be effective in avoiding a brawl, it runs the risk of turning the fight into a less exciting spectacle for boxing fans eager for a high-intensity battle.
Looking ahead, De La Hoya hinted at the possibility of a future fight between Pitbull Cruz and Ryan Garcia. Both fighters are expected to weigh-in at 140 pounds, making the matchup feasible. However, De La Hoya emphasized that it will ultimately be Ryan Garcia's decision whether to accept the challenge. If Garcia holds the WBA light welterweight title and is coming off a victory against Romero, the clash between him and Pitbull Cruz could become a reality.
As the date draws nearer, the anticipation for the Cruz vs. Romero showdown continues to grow. Boxing enthusiasts are eager to witness whether Pitbull's aggressive style will be the defining factor in propelling him towards a victory and potentially setting up a future showdown against Ryan Garcia.
