“Pitbull” and Roach Battle to a Draw in Great Contest<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In a thrilling fight from start to finish, the popular Mexican fighter Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz defended his Interim WBC 140-pound crown by drawing with former American World Champion Lamont Roach Jr. this Saturday in the main event of a PBC card organized at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas.<\/p>\n

In his first fight at 140 pounds, Roach overcame a knockdown in the third round to offer a great challenge against the hard-hitting Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz.<\/p>\n

The judges disagreed, and their fight ended in a majority draw. One judge scored it 115-111 for Cruz, but the other two tallied the action evenly at 113-113 and 113-113.<\/p>\n

With this result, Cruz’s record moved to 28-3-2 with 18 knockouts, while Roach’s record stands at 25-1-3 with 10 knockouts.<\/p>\n

“I knew he would stand his ground and go toe-to-toe, but I know how to box too,\u201d said Cruz. \u201cPeople don\u2019t realize I can box.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Hats off to \u2018Pitbull,\u2019\u201d said Roach. \u201cHe’s a great champion himself. I gave the fans a great fight. Back to the drawing board.”<\/p>\n
