Pitbull Cruz Units Sights On Main Fights After Title Protection


Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz has named his hitlist of fighters he needs to face after he defends his WBA mild welterweight title this Saturday, August third, in opposition to Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela on the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.

The fighters Cruz is desirous about preventing:

  1. Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis
  2. Teofimo Lopez
  3. Ryan Garcia 
  4. Shakur Stevenson

Cruz Dismisses Shakur Stevenson as “Boring”

Pitbull Cruz (26-2-1, 18 KOs) says he views WBC light-weight champion Shakur as boring and somebody who will put followers to sleep like at a “Mozart” live performance.

Stevenson has worn out his welcome among the many prime fighters with consecutive lackluster performances in opposition to Artem Harutyunyan and Edwin De Los Santos. If  Tank Davis goes to battle Shakur, he would wish to do it as quickly as attainable as a result of his worth could be nugatory.

After Prime Rank invested cash in signing Shakur following his loss to Cuban expertise Robeisy Ramirez in 2016, he turned out to be faux gold and unable to go the magnet take a look at for the real 24K. They need to have identified from watching Shakur in opposition to Robeisy that he didn’t possess the expertise to turn out to be a star.

Within the Olympic finals, Stevenson fought defensively in opposition to the Cuban and was overwhelmed soundly. As a professional, Shakur continues to battle equally, which isn’t attention-grabbing for followers. It’s unclear what Prime Rank was pondering after they signed Shakur. In the event that they thought he would change his preventing model, they badly misjudged him.

Cruz Prioritizes Ryan Garcia and Tank Davis

“Gervonta, Teofimo, Ryan, and the final Shakur,” stated Isaac Cruz to Battle Hub TV when requested who he want to battle. “Ryan, as a result of he’s a fighter that individuals need to see, and that’s what I need to do. Perhaps sometime with Ryan.

“The final one with Stevenson as a result of that’s not a battle for the individuals, and all of the individuals will fall asleep,” stated ‘Pitbull’ Cruz about Shakur being boring for the followers. “Shakur could have like a Mozart live performance and everybody will fall asleep.”

It’s pointless for Pitbull Cruz to talk of preventing Shakur as a result of if he will get the battle he’s been campaigning for in opposition to Tank Davis, he’ll lose that one, and he’ll now not be price a lot as an opponent. He’ll turn out to be a Rolly Romero kind.

Cruz is healthier off specializing in Ryan Garcia or Devin Haney. These guys will appeal to an viewers proper now. Teofimo is on a severe decline and hasn’t been the identical fighter since his win over Vasily Lomachenko in 2020.

That battle took the very best out of Teofimo, and he’s holding it collectively now as a result of Prime Rank’s cautious, protecting match-making. Teo is a dying star, heading in the direction of supernova.

Pitbull’s Quick Focus

“He is an efficient fighter and really robust. We’re ready, and I believe we’ll win,” stated Pitbull about his battle this Saturday in opposition to Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela.

Rayo has dramatically modified his preventing model since his loss to Edwin De Los Santos and has adopted Lomachenko’s motion. It is going to be attention-grabbing to see if Pitbull can catch as much as him to land his photographs on Saturday evening.

“He stated he wished to knock me out, however why did he attempt to come to be my pal?” Cruz stated about not desirous to shake Rayo’s hand throughout the face-off.

Cruz continues to be bent out of practice about Rayo, saying he needs to knock him out, which is bizarre as a result of that’s what all fighters say. If he’s going to get upset each time his opponents predict victory, it’s going to be unhealthy blood each time he fights.

“Perhaps sooner or later, however proper now, I really feel snug at [140],” stated Cruz when requested if he may transfer as much as 147.
