Timothy Bradley advised Lamont Roach Jr. that he should beware of Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz's power when they fight for the World Boxing Council (WBC) 140-pound title this Saturday, December 6, in San Antonio, Texas.

On his YouTube channel, Bradley explained that the first half of the fight with Pitbull Cruz will be very intense and warned Roach Jr. that he will take a lot of punches.

“Roach likes to fight. He likes to stand his ground. I would advise him not to stand directly on the heavy bag at the beginning, because that's where Pitbull Cruz is at his best. The first six rounds are going to be intense,” he said.

“I understand Roach's mentality. He thinks, 'I was able to withstand Tank's attack.' I know you were able to withstand Tank's attack, but you're facing a big rattlesnake. Roach will have to take, take, and give punches. In the first six rounds, Roach will have to get comfortable in that fire. Because that fire is coming pretty close,” he added.

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 into the ring again After a hard-fought fight with Gervonta Davis that ended controversially, in the ninth round 'Tank' went down on his knees and the referee didn't call it a knockdown because the champion said he had something in his eye. This could have been a deciding factor in tipping the scales in favor of Roach Jr. After twelve rounds, the judges scored the fight a majority draw. The American was negotiating a rematch, but 'Tank' accepted a lucrative 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.
