Isaac Cruz knows he needs a convincing victory over fellow Mexican Angel Fierro to earn big money showdowns with the likes of "Tank" Davis and Ryan Garcia.

The opportunity to fight for a world championship was there for the taking, and Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz has walked away from it.

The light heavyweight clash between David Benavidez and David Morrell will also feature a rematch between featherweight titleholder Brandon Figueroa and Stephen Fulton, and the return of Isaac Cruz.

Nearly six months removed from a humbling TKO loss to Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz, Rolando "Rolly" Romero is dismissive about the defeat – as well as his Saturday opponent, Manuel Jaimes.

Junior welterweight Rolando Romero is eager to prove he still belongs at the top of the division following the loss of his WBA title to Isaac Cruz. Romero has boldly predicted a knockout victory against Manuel Jaimes on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz had been riding a high ever since his competitive loss to Gervonta “Tank” Davis back in December 2021.

When featherweight Angelo Leo ended proceedings in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Aug. 10 with a one-punch knockout win over Luis Alberto Lopez, the devastating result was described by many as a KO of the Year contender.

Rolando Romero is ready to get his career back on track following recent knockout losses to Isaac Cruz and Gervonta Davis. Romero (15-2, 13 KOs) will get a bounce-back opportunity on Sept. 14 when he takes on Manuel Jaimes (16-1-1, 11 KOs) on a card headlined by Canelo Alvarez’s fight against Edgar Berlanga at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Whether he is making, suggesting or rejecting fights, Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh is currently the straw that is stirring boxing’s drink.

Jose Valenzuela (14-2, 9 KOs) outclassed Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz (26-3-1, 18 KOs) to steal the show with a split-decision victory at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California on Saturday.
