Cruz and Roach Fight to Majority Draw for Interim WBC Super Lightweight Title

A knockdown for Cruz offset by a penalty left the scorecards deadlocked.

Overview

  • Judges returned one card for Isaac Cruz with two cards at 113-113, producing a majority draw against Lamont Roach in San Antonio.
  • Roach was dropped for the first time in his career in Round 3, and Cruz later lost a point for holding and hitting, nullifying the knockdown’s edge.
  • O'Shaquie Foster dominated Stephen Fulton by unanimous decision after Fulton missed weight, shifting their bout to an interim WBC lightweight title.
  • Erislandy Lara outpointed Johan Gonzalez to retain his WBA middleweight belt after Janibek Alimkhanuly’s positive meldonium test scuttled their planned unification.
  • Jesus Ramos Jr. defeated Shane Mosley Jr. by unanimous decision on the pay-per-view undercard.
