LAMONT ROACH: WIN OVER ISAAC CRUZ PUTS ME IN LINE FOR WBC TITLE
Lamont Roach, a three-division mover, vows to "bring back old-school boxing" against Isaac Cruz. A win at the Frost Bank Centre establishes him as a top contender, silencing doubts from his Davis fight.
Lamont Roach Jr. believes his fight with Gervonta Davis should've been ruled a knockdown, potentially giving him the win in their March match.
Now, after waiting for a rematch that didn't happen, Roach is ready for a fresh start.
His next fight is Saturday against WBC interim junior welterweight titleholder Isaac Cruz at the Frost Bank Centre in San Antonio, Texas. It's the headline fight for PBC on Prime Video PPV.
"I want to make it clear that my last performance wasn't a one-time thing," Roach stated at a press conference. I plan to bring that same energy to every fight. I'm here to entertain the fans and prove I deserve to be headlining events like this.
My aim has always been simple: take on the best. Getting to this level was always my plan; I just need time. I know my capabilities, and I've been proving it to myself throughout my career.
This fight against Cruz marks Roach's third time switching weight divisions since last June. He grabbed the WBA 130-pound title by defeating Feargal McCrory, then challenged Davis at 135 pounds. Now, he's taking on Cruz as a junior welterweight.
“I’m going to be really strong. I have less weight to lose and more freedom. I’m in top shape now, and moving up in weight is just another step for me,” Roach said.
“There’s a good possibility I'll stay at 140 pounds. It all depends on what opportunities come up. Ideally, I want to return to 135 and win a title since I felt I was cheated out of one before.”
Cruz tends to struggle against opponents who are more skilled, similar to his fights with Davis (loss), Giovanni Cabrera (win), and Jose Valenzuela (loss). If Roach focuses on his boxing skills, it could be a tough night for Cruz, whose most impressive win was against Rolando Romero last March.
“I like fighting his style because it suits my strengths,” Roach explained. “We brought in tough sparring partners who are very aggressive. We’ve been performing well against them. Cruz is a great fighter, very explosive and exciting for fans. I think I’m a great match for his style.
Tune in, and you'll see what you expect. I plan to win and put on a great show.”
Roach has grown since his first pro loss in 2019 to Jamel Herring for the WBO 130-pound title. Now, he has big ambitions in competitive weight divisions.
“I've told everyone that I want to bring back old-school boxing,” said Roach. “My decision to accept this fight with Cruz proves that. I'm definitely going to deliver an action-packed fight.
“This would be a great statement. Some fighters might see me as a smaller guy moving up in weight and want to face me. If I win this fight, I’ll be in line for a shot at the WBC champion or any of the other titleholders. That's my goal.
“Every time I step into the ring, I aim to show everyone that I will be remembered as one of the best fighters ever.”
CRUISERWEIGHT CHALLENGE: RYAN ROZICKI TELLS JAI OPETAIA TO "STAY GROUNDED" AFTER STRUGGLE
Ring No. 4 contender Ryan Rozicki calls out Jai Opetaia, warning the champion that overconfidence and fighting "weaker opponents" will lead to his downfall.
Ryan Rozicki's Message to Jai Opetaia: Stay Grounded
Jai Opetaia, the Ring and IBF champion, recently secured his fourth straight knockout victory by defeating Huseyin Cinkara in eight rounds. This win wraps up a busy year for Opetaia, during which he defended his title three times.
Ryan Rozicki, a Canadian contender, acknowledges Opetaia's achievements and his position as the top cruiserweight.
However, Rozicki, who is ranked No. 4 by The Ring, thinks he would be a much tougher opponent than those Opetaia has faced recently.
"From what I've seen, he's probably the best in the division," Rozicki told The Ring. If that fight comes my way, I'll definitely take it. He hasn't fought anyone like me. I've watched some of his fights, and he's been up against weaker opponents.
After watching Opetaia struggle early in his fight against Cinkara, Rozicki has a word of caution for him.
In my opinion, his opponent didn't look world-class, he said. He got hit and wobbled in the second round. If that were my right hand, he wouldn't have gotten up.
Opetaia's aggressive start allowed Cinkara to land a couple of right hands in the second round, which shook the champion. Opetaia expressed frustration after the fight, admitting his performance wasn't great. This may motivate him for 2026, especially given his disappointment with failed unification attempts.
It seems that overconfidence and a lack of real tests might be affecting Opetaia's recent performances, as seen when he was caught by David Nyika and even more so by Cinkara before pulling through.
Rozicki warns Opetaia to stay grounded.
"Don't believe everything you hear about yourself," he said. Be careful about what your team tells you, because you might think you're invincible, but you're probably not.
Rozicki's promoter, Daniel Otter of The Lions Promotions, is also interested in setting up a fight between Rozicki and Opetaia.
"Jai keeps saying people are avoiding him," Otter said. I think people have been avoiding Ryan, too, so if Jai is serious, Ryan is ready to fight him.
ANDREW TATE'S RESPECT: HE CALLS JAKE PAUL VS. ANTHONY JOSHUA INTERESTING AMIDST WEIGHT CLAUSE CHAOS
Andrew Tate respects Jake Paul for fighting Anthony Joshua but is criticised by opponent Chase DeMoor for a controversial 'under 200lb' weight clause in their Misfits bout.
Andrew Tate thinks Jake Paul's fight with Anthony Joshua will be interesting.
Paul and Joshua are set to fight in Miami next Friday in a heavyweight match that's getting a lot of criticism. The next night, Tate will box Misfits heavyweight champ Chase DeMoor in Dubai. This marks Tate's return to the ring after doing kickboxing.
Tate and Paul have had issues in the past, but Tate gave Paul props. "I think that night will be interesting," he told iFL TV. I respect anyone who steps into the ring. People risk their lives to entertain others. I respect Jake and AJ, and I'm glad they're getting in there. I hope they both stay safe.
One thing both fights have in common is a weight limit, even though they're both heavyweight bouts. Joshua can't weigh over 245 lb for his fight with Paul. DeMoor said Tate wanted him to weigh UNDER 200 lb, which would make it a cruiserweight fight.
If he was sure he would beat me, why is there a weight clause in a heavyweight fight? He asked. Why are we fighting under 200 pounds? Why the rehydration clause? Why is it his arena, his judges, and his referee? Why did he try to say no to my gloves? "I have to fight in house clothes," said DeMoor.
They gave me this fight in July. I agreed to whatever he wanted, just to get him in the ring. He wants the weight cut; fine. He wants the rounds; fine. He wants the gloves, the rings, and the judges. Fine, fine, fine. I didn't negotiate at all.
I'm always the underdog in every fight. People think I'll lose, but I go out there and knock them out in the first few rounds.
While Tate respects Paul and Joshua, he feels different about his opponent. "I could pick a different opponent and make more money, and people would still watch," he said. Everyone's focused on me. This fight is all about me. I've been offered more money to fight others. This is the Andrew Tate show. Face to the floor, it does not matter if he is in the ring or not... he needs to know this is my show.
