Lamont Roach Jr. assured that he is the perfect dance partner for Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz, the World Boxing Council (WBC) 140-pound champion, and that's why he's very excited to step into the ring with the Mexican this Saturday, December 6, in San Antonio, Texas.

In an interview with Fight Hub TV, Roach Jr. explained that he likes Pitbull Cruz's fighting style because he always goes on the attack, just like him, so he knows they will both give it their all from the opening bell. “I’m excited to get in the ring with 'Pitbull.' I’m his perfect dance partner. I don’t have to look for someone like that. Someone who’s going to give it their all. What better way to end the year than with a bang? I think 'Pitbull' is great at what he does. He lives and breathes weed. He’s perfected his craft. Even though he only has one craft, he’s perfected it and it works well for him,” he said. The two former rivals of Tank Davis will face off, and the Mexican fighter is the favorite to win the bout, but some think the American could pull off an upset. Lamont Roach Jr. will step back into the ring after a hard-fought encounter with Gervonta Davis that ended controversially, as in the ninth round 'Tank' took a knee and the referee stopped the fight. He didn't rule it a knockdown because the champion indicated he had something in his eye.

This may have been a deciding factor in tipping the scales in Roach Jr.'s favor. After twelve rounds, the judges scored the fight a majority draw. The American was negotiating a rematch, but 'Tank' accepted a multimillion-dollar fight with Jake Paul for November.

Meanwhile, Pitbull Cruz is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Omar Salcido—who entered as a last-minute replacement for Angel 'Tashiro' Fierro—and solidified his position as the WBC interim super middleweight world champion.

Lamont Roach Jr., 29, drew after twelve rounds with Tank Davis in a fight he believes he should have won. The American has a professional record of 25 wins (10 by knockout), one loss, and two draws.

For his part,Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz, 26, was crowned WBC interim super lightweight champion in Las Vegas and wants to continue adding to his legacy. The Mexican boxer now has a professional record of 28 wins (18 by knockout), three losses, and one draw.
