Lamont Roach Jr. vs. Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz Tops San Antonio PPV for Interim WBC 140-Pound Title

Roach enters as the betting favorite in his super lightweight debut after the co-main was reshuffled over a failed drug test.

Overview

  • Main event is set for Saturday, Dec. 6 at San Antonio’s Frost Bank Center on Prime Video PPV at 8 p.m. ET for $74.99.
  • Both fighters made weight, with Isaac Cruz at 138.6 pounds and Lamont Roach Jr. at 139.6.
  • Roach moves up to 140 pounds and will relinquish his WBA 130-pound title once the bout begins, with the winner claiming the WBC interim belt.
  • DraftKings lists Roach as a -235 favorite over Cruz at +180, reflecting a matchup of Roach’s height and reach against Cruz’s pressure and power.
  • The original Lara–Alimkhanuly middleweight unification was canceled after Janibek tested positive for meldonium, Lara now faces Johan Gonzalez, and Stephen Fulton missed weight by two pounds for his fight with O’Shaquie Foster.
