WBA lightweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis (25-0, 24 KOs) and IBF #2 Isaac “Pitbull’’ Cruz (22-1-1, 15 KOs) commented on their December 5 PPV showdown at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Cruz replaced Rolly Romero, who was forced out due to allegations of sexual abuse.
Gervonta Davis: “I respect Isaac Cruz for stepping up and taking the fight, but everyone knows what I do. I come in looking for the knockout and that’s exactly what I’m going to do in this fight. I’m back in Los Angeles where the stars shine and I’m going to light it up against Isaac Cruz at Staples Center on December 5.”
Isaac Cruz: “God willing I’ll be world champion on December 5. This fight is a very big motivation for me as a professional and as a personal goal. I’m sure after December 5 everyone in boxing will know the name Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz.”
More Pay-Per-Screw (PPS)?
Cruz can bang. Crude, good chin. Strong, looping shots. This fight will be 10x better then the Rollo fight. Perfect recipe for a slight surprise..
Cruz was lucky to get a decision over Thomas Mattice, who for some strange reason didn’t start pouring it on until the latter half of the fight. Cruz is very short & tailor-made for Tank. I would’ve much rather seen Davis fight Montana Love, with whom he had a heated sparring war with.
The only surprise will be if this fight goes the distance, Cruz can bang but his punches are way too wide, he will get caught and go to that big taco in the sky for a nap.
Too bad we’ll probably never see these top fighter fight each other. They should be mandated to. These 0’s needs to go. If Tank wins he needs to move up or fight the champ at 130. Make these fights happen. Save boxing.
Rolly would have dropped tank kinda fishy these “allegations” came to light
Much better than a fight against inexperienced Romero. Cruz could give Tank a very good fight. I look forward a suprise only to watch the Floyd’s face…
