Topic: Rolando Romero-Isaac Cruz to meet on March 30 in Las Vegas. (Read 661 times)

That bolded statement, that is the thing when you have the looks and the charisma with the fans. Even if Ryan losses against Haney, he will still have the following no matter what who he faces next. It could be just a tune up and still it will sell.

But only if Ryan can translate that hype to really winning fights. he will really be a big superstar. Unfortunately, he is not, and he can talk about legacy, but at the end of the day, it's all about how he can generate millions and that's why they will put Ryan's name in their mouth with this 140 lbs champion.

Ryan is just so in demand, everyone wants to fight him because they think he is easy to beat at the same time they can make big money. Well, since Ryan was already scheduled to fight Haney, after this there's a lot of time for Cruz and Garcia to  negotiate and schedule a fight this year.

One step at a time for Ryan, he can fight 2 or 3 times this year and it doesn't matter if he loss because fans are still interested to see him win or lose.

Regardless of the outcome of the fight I think Ryan vs Cruz will be the next big fight.

I think it's because earlier there were news that Ryan is supposedly fight Romero or Pitbull, but that fight was put on hold and then the name of Haney was in the front and so this fight is made already. And perhaps that's why his opinion is needed because he could be in that position and who knows he could be a champion in the 140 lbs and not Cruz. But after that statement, Ryan should go back to Haney and that will be his motivation before dealing with Pitbull. And if ever Pitbull vs Ryan Garcia is going to happen in the future, I think I will go with Ryan, he might caught Pitbull with his left hook and then Cruz might go down. But that was just me though, we don't know if that fight is destined to happen in the future.

He is just trying to stay real here, I mean that's already his character and he is playing with it. Some love his style while some hate it but we can't deny Ryan were able to get our attention and he is gaining from it so his fights are being profitable. I'm sure what he says doesn't reflect what he is doing in the actual, he is professional and knows has a big fight to prepare for, so it's expected that he is giving his best during the training.

Now, we are talking about Ryan vs Pitbull, this is actually a good fight but honestly I don't find it good for Pitbull. We may have different opinion here but a Ryan vs Pitbull is way better than Ryan vs Haney where obvisouly Ryan is a clear underdog.

I think that is the keyword, distraction, Ryan still hasn't learn a thing or two throughout his boxing career and that's why he will not be as great as what others think he will be in the future. And he has been exposed by Canelo and his former trainer Eddy Reynoso so I'm not surprised that he talks about Pitbull when he has a fight in his hand.

It's more of a weak mind though, he has mental breakdown already. So doesn't matter if he is that good, there is no clinical diagnosis for a a mental breakdown, maybe next week we will hear stories again from Ryan that is so absurd that we thinks he is losing his mind, just saying.

Ryan is taking too much on what he can take, he needs to know that he is an underdog in his match against Haney so he needs to improve on his chances, he is adding another distraction to his training.
If ever he gets to meet Isaac in the ring I don't think his chances are good and he will suffer worse than what Rolly suffers.

Ryan has a week chin and a week body and he is bragging about his power as if he had the power of a heavyweight, Isaac will just eat his punches, just like how he takes Tank and Rolly's punches.

Seriously bro? Haney is just on the other level, he is undefeated for a reason and is trying to be at the top of the pound for pound ranking. Have you see the fights of Haney? Well, he maybe boring sometimes but he is dominating his opponent, except on his fight with Loma which was a controversial one.

Here's what I think ...

Haney > King Ray > Cruz

I believe King Ryan can easily beat Haney but beating Pitbull Cruz might not be so easy. Ryan still have chance for sure against Pitbull Cruz IMO. Devin Haney's last fight against Lomachenko was a total robbery, so I think King Ryan can handle Devin Haney. I'm more excited to see rematch between Pitbull Cruz and Tank Davis than these unreasonable matches.

If I'm Ryan, I will keep quiet for now and focus on beating Haney instead of jumping on the bandwagon because Isaac Cruz bet Rolly Romero. He has a bigger fish to fry here and not be concern of Cruz. For sure, Pitbull is not going to back out from a possible Ryan fight because of the money and he will milk his status as a WBO champion for now.

Yeah, he could beat Pitbull 9 out of 10, but still talking about him when he has a full plate in front of him and we don't know if he can beat this version of Haney which settled at 140 lbs and no more draining and that's why he improved his power when he bring down Prograis and then took the belt.

Ryan is already making a hype  on other fighter even if he is not yet done with Haney. Well, let's expect that Haney will win, in that case Ryan already had a fight line up for him just in case he'll not heavily injured.

Honestly, I think if Ryan will fight Cruz, I would choose Ryan to win here as Cruz style is very fit for Ryan with his counter punch ability. As what we have witness in his previous fight, he already learned to use a different strategy and showed some quickness, Rolly doesn't have that, so he lose.

I can't wait for this fight..

Here we go again after Isaac Cruz brutally beat Rolly Romero, Ryan Garcia is at it again posting that Isaac Cruz is an easy fighter to beat, Isaac Cruz should give a Garcia a chance after Haney beat him a chance for another title so he can receive the same beating Rolly received at the hands of Isaac so he'll be humble.
Garcia never learned a lesson after Tank beat hi, he still think he is a great fighter.

He is special in the way he talk, but he fight? nope, nothing much although he was once a champion. He still need a lot of improvement, maybe work more at the gym and talk less, still not too late for him though, he is still young and sure still more fights will come for him. But for now, let's give the appreciation to Pitbull because he was well prepared and well condition, that's why he fought like a real Pitbull that TKO Rolly.

I don't see anything special about Rolly Romero, in the first place he shouldn't be the champion and that Ismael Barroso should have won in their fight but the referee really help Romero to win and get at title.

And now that he fight a prime fighter, then it shows that there is nothing significant or that he have that IT factor to become a star. He as just given a chance against Tank Davis that time and they thought that he will give Tank a good fight but Davis just destroy him.

That's what he get his nickname though, Pitbull, because he was scary looking and very relentless in his attack. We've seen him giving Tank Davis a good match during their fight. And even at losing that fight, he can so much experience and now that he is the champion.


I don't think that there will be a rematch clause, it's not even close. Rematch happen if the fight is really controversial and the judges scoring is wrong at some point. Rolly should accept this accept and move on. However, in this fight, he doesn't look like he belongs to the top of the 140 lbs. Just imagine him fighting the likes of Matias who is a heavy puncher, he could ended up in the matt and sleeping.

Isaac has never been knocked out Pitbull can take a punch, Rolly is so confident that Isaac can't take his punch but he was surprised that he cannot hurt Isaac and he also was surprised how hard and strong Isaac punches were.
There are so many Rolly Romero memes now after this humiliation, Rolly Romero never learned his lesson he thrashtalks Tank Davis he called Barroso old and now he called Isaac Cruz Chiuwawa and look what happened to him he was humiliated in all those fights.

I don't think Rolly still has a place as a champion there are a lot of great champions that he needs to fight and I don't think he can match the power and skills of these champions.

Rolly should have taken the Ryan Garcia match where he is supposed to earn $5 million but he opted to fight Isaac where he only gets less than $ 1 million.

He was still durable to last how many rounds despite being hit by solid punches from Cruz. But he should have known that Cruz strategy is just to attack until he wears down his opponent, no adjustment made by Rolly so he lose the fight. I thought he was smarter and will try to use his speed, but we didn't see that, it seems like he underestimated the power of Cruz and just let himself go with the style of Cruz which we saw he can't beat.

Well, if there's a rematch for this, it would be nice but obviously the result might still be the same as it's not the first time Rolly loss, but he might experience another loss from the same boxer.

When I watched it earlier, it seemed like Isaac enjoying what he was doing he was in his rhythms, and his power punches were connecting at a high percentage, which only assured that Romero was about to get knockdown because no one can take those unique power punches throughout the 12 rounds except by dodging most of it. But as for him, he took all those punches and the result was an easy win for Isaac because Romero couldn't take any more of those punches and he was good not to take any more rounds because the ending would be more uglier than that.

I do agree, I guess Rolly Romero really woke up the beast in Isaac Cruz pre-fight as he trash talk Isaac and he really is motivated to knockout Romero after what he has said and act in their promotion. Romero is known to be a big puncher too, but the problem is that he can't take a punch himself. We have seen Tank Davis broke his chin and it's just a matter of time before Isaac can landed his power.

And once it touches Romero, it's over for him. Again, he is exposed to be just a ordinary boxer and nothing special about Romero. He is lucky to have that WBA belt, and now lost it at his first defense, lol, but a bum.

In the first round of the fight, it seemed to me that Rolando Romero managed to have an acceptable performance, he didn't dominate the fight in the first round in my opinion, he didn't put too much pressure on his opponent. in the second round it also seemed like a balanced fight, with Isaac Cruz always very defensive waiting for Rolando Romero's attacks so he could make a very quick and strong counterattack and Rolando Romero kept falling for Rolando Romero's strategy, he could choose not to make constant attacks and wait for Issac Cruz to attack, that way he would have the chance to counterattack and land his punches on Issac Cruz's weak points, in the third round it was also the same thing as in rounds 1 and 2

In the final minutes of round four, Isaac Cruz broke out of his system of defending himself waiting for a counterattack and it was in the attack that he was successful, I don't know if he did this with the intention of testing whether it was time for him to start attacking and lowering his defense a little, I say this because in round 5 he moved more to the attack, he changed his way of fighting in the 1, 2, 3 and 4 rounds. He started putting pressure on Romero and this lasted until round 8 in which Romero lost the fight. In my opinion, Romero in round 8 was already exhausted. Congratulations to Issac Cruz for the victory

He was being delutional if he thought it will be an easy fight for him. Davis even struggle to beat Pitbull and he think it will be easy for him? No no... he was hit by a reality now that Cruz should be respected.. If he was faster, he might not get hit but Cruz just know how to timing it right and he like a bull who keeps attacking until he destroys his opponent.

Anyway, anyone here able to hit that round range KO? That was 7-9 rounds.
