Fighters competing on the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terence Crawford PPV undercard on July 29 in Las Vegas previewed their respective matchups during a virtual press conference on Thursday.
Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz vs. Giovanni Cabrera
WBC/WBA lightweight title eliminator
Isaac Cruz: “I’m gonna put on a show against Cabrera. It’s all part of my effort to close every door that Gervonta has available to escape from facing me again. I want to prove that I’m the best at 135 pounds.”
Giovanni Cabrera: “I’ve seen many examples of fighters with Isaac’s style. I’ve been able to out-class them. That’s the goal on July 29…this is my time. Isaac Cruz is in trouble. I will be ready on July 29.”
Jesus “Mono” Ramos vs. Sergio Garcia
WBC super welterweight title eliminator
Jesus Ramos: “I think with a win over Sergio Garcia I’m top five, or at least top 10 in the division. I’ve been beating top guys and looking impressive against them. I want to earn my shot and these are the fights I have to take.”
Sergio Garcia: “I just have to focus on executing what I do in the ring. I’ve shown that I have courage, but now I have to show my skills as well… I can’t give away my secrets, but I have Jesus well scouted.”
As much as I follow and respect Tank Davis, it’s clearly obvious Tank wants nothing to do with the Pitbull and I don’t blame him.
Tank gave him a shot and beat him fair and square. Everybody wants a fight with Tank and Cruz was knocked to the back of the line.
No reason to make a Cruz fight except to appease the guys still holding onto the first Mayweather-Maidana fight.
Isaac Cruz is the boxer that has performed better against Gervonta Davis, but that doesn’t mean boxing fans are eager or demanding for a rematch, not me, I am really interested in a fight between Shakur Stevenson vs Gervonta Davis, that is a mega fight.
If “mono” Ramos defeat Garcia, a fight against Brian Mendoza would be fantastic
Davis beat Cruz 7 rounds to 5. He had an off night.
He hurt his hand early in the fight and it was obvious he was hampered. Davis annihilates Mexican fighters and because Cruz went the distance, Tank haters are acting like Cruz beat him and a rematch is warranted. Tank has bigger fights to be made to cement his legacy. I would love to see Davis retire the overated, spoiled, priveledged, and protected, Loma.
Cruz beats Davis again in the rematch if Davis ever faces him again. He should win this one against Cabrera. Ramos vs Garcia is a closet fight on paper, but I think Ramos makes a statement in this one.
