Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz has named his hitlist of fighters he desires to face after he defends his WBA gentle welterweight title this Saturday, August third, towards Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela on the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
The fighters Cruz is all in favour of combating:
- Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis
- Teofimo Lopez
- Ryan Garcia
- 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 towards Artem Harutyunyan and Edwin De Los Santos. If Tank Davis goes to combat Shakur, he would want to do it as quickly as potential 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 move the magnet check for the real 24K. They need to have recognized from watching Shakur towards Robeisy that he didn’t possess the expertise to grow to be a star.
Within the Olympic finals, Stevenson fought defensively towards the Cuban and was crushed soundly. As a professional, Shakur continues to combat equally, which isn’t attention-grabbing for followers. It’s unclear what Prime Rank was considering once they signed Shakur. In the event that they thought he would change his combating model, they badly misjudged him.
Cruz Prioritizes Ryan Garcia and Tank Davis
“Gervonta, Teofimo, Ryan, and the final Shakur,” stated Isaac Cruz to Combat Hub TV when requested who he wish to combat. “Ryan, as a result of he’s a fighter that folks 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 combat for the folks, and all of the folks 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 combating Shakur as a result of if he will get the combat he’s been campaigning for towards Tank Davis, he’ll lose that one, and he’ll not be value a lot as an opponent. He’ll grow to be a Rolly Romero sort.
Cruz is healthier off specializing in Ryan Garcia or Devin Haney. These guys will entice an viewers proper now. Teofimo is on a critical decline and hasn’t been the identical fighter since his win over Vasily Lomachenko in 2020.
That combat took one of the 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 direction of supernova.
Pitbull’s Quick Focus
“He is an effective fighter and really robust. We’re ready, and I feel we’ll win,” stated Pitbull about his combat this Saturday towards Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela.
Rayo has dramatically modified his combating model since his loss to Edwin De Los Santos and has adopted Lomachenko’s motion. It will likely be attention-grabbing to see if Pitbull can catch as much as him to land his photographs on Saturday night time.
“He stated he needed to knock me out, however why did he try to come to be my pal?” Cruz stated about not desirous to shake Rayo’s hand through the face-off.
Cruz remains to be bent out of form about Rayo, saying he desires 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 comfy at [140],” stated Cruz when requested if he might transfer as much as 147.
