“This fight will be a great fight for the fans. I will put on a great performance for you all,” said Cruz, who is coming off a knockout victory against veteran Yuriorkis Gamboa.

“This is a first stop to get bigger and better fights, I’m willing and ready to make it big and now it’s my time, I will put it all on the line, I know the best is yet to come after this fight.

  • I like how this young man carries himself.

    He essentially just came out of nowhere and threw his name in the hat.

    I’m rooting for him to shake things up in the division. You can tell he’s hungry and eager to prove himself.

    If he wins impressively tonight it would be nice to see him against a big name early next year.

  • he is what boxing is supposed to be. never a front runner. never talks crap. always fights like a king. came from nothing without a gym or a trainer and gave the elite their hardest fight and prolly won it. imagine what he will do when he gets the perks of success. i real gym. affording real training . he is going to become a beast and there is nothing the boxing tards can do about it except try to set him up. he is super fun to watch always trying to knock the other guys head off. he beats kambosis easy. lopez wanted none of him. actually who is calling him out? pray he does not get sucked into a contract that promises him a fast car and a gold chain…then again, ha is not about that crap…if he were, he would have never made it to where he is..good job issac, do not cahnge

    • Everyone always says, ” he’ll beat Kambosos easy,” about every lightweight. The guy lost on points to Haney and smacked Lopez up like he’d stolen something from him. Show the man some respect, I think he’s earned it.

  • Cruz has the correct state of mind to be a winner… irrespective of environment, modern training equipment, etc…not saying that Cruz has Marvin Hagler skills….Cruz definitely has the Marvin Hagler determination to win….on this trajectory..Cruz will be tough to be …

  • The marquee fight for Isaac Cruz is not with Lomachenko or Stevenson type of fighter, but rather with a fighter that likes to trade, and at 135 there are plenty. The winner of Jo Jo Diaz vs William Zepeda, Kambosos, or a rematch with Gervonta Davis could help him to be more popular
