Timothy Bradley expressed that he has no doubt that Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz, the World Boxing Council (WBC) super lightweight champion, beat Lamont Roach Jr. last weekend in San Antonio, Texas.
On his official YouTube channel, Bradley commented that Pitbull Cruz was beating Roach Jr., but the point he lost for a low blow—which he believes was legal—changed the fight. “When the final round came, I thought, 'Where are you, Roach?'” Pitbull closed the show, won the last round, and won the fight. I have no doubt that he won the fight. I watch these rounds and think, 'That's another round for Pitbull.' These rounds were definitely going his way. It wasn't like they were close. He even made him touch the canvas with his glove, which indicates a knockdown,” he said. “This is where he got into trouble, because when it went on a little later, you saw what happened. Roach was in there taking a beating. Suddenly, Pitbull landed a couple of low blows. I understand that. However, the last blow that the referee took away the point for was to the waistline, and the waistline was high. It wasn't below the waist. I saw the instant replay. That blow was legal, not illegal, and he got the point,” he added. In a hard-fought fight, Pitbull Cruz displayed his aggression from the start and with a left hook in the third round sent Lamont Roach Jr. to the canvas. The American was able to recover and in the middle rounds counterattacked the Mexican fighter despite having broken his right hand in the fifth. In the seventh round, referee James Green deducted a crucial point from Cruz for low blows. Both fighters finished the fight with heavy exchanges of blows, and in the end, one judge scored it 115-111 for 'Pitbull', while the other two scored it a draw 113-113. After the result was announced—which kept the Mexican as the interim WBC super lightweight champion—both Pitbull Cruz and Lamont Roach Jr.They declared that they believed they had won the fight and now agree that they want a rematch. Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz, 26, retained the WBC interim super lightweight title and could headline a rematch with the American. The Mexican boxer now has a professional record of 28 wins (18 by knockout), three losses, and two draws.
