Roach Looks Past Pitbull

Roach (25-1-2, 10 kos) Is Confidenty That Victorious Against Cruz (28-3-1, 18 Kos) in Their Headliner at The Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas.

Lamont Towered Over The 5’4 ‘Cruz During Wednesday’s Press Conference, Looking Like A Legit 140-Pounder Rather Than A Fighter Who Holds Down The WBA Super Featherweight title. Roach Is Moving Up From 135 From His Last Fight Against Gervis on March 1.

Still Haunted by Tank

“More People Know Me Foodt Tank. But more people know me Essentially What I Did, Not Because They Say, ‘Look at Him.’ IT’s Because I’m Platform And I got The Skills to Show Y’All What I Can Do. And I Did It Against Everyone’s Favorite Fighter, “Said Lamont Roach mediaDredging Up The Past About His Last Fight Against Gervis Davis.

Roach sounded like a Chronically Bitter Person During Wednesday’s Kickoff Press Conference, Talking About His Last Fight With Tank Davis Of Focusing on His Bout in Front of Him Against ‘Pitbull’ Cruz 6th.

The Way Roach Droned On The Tank Fight With A Faraway Look In His Eyes, He Resembled Someone With Post-Traumatic Embitional Disorder (PTED). They Just Can’t Let Go, Still Trying to Make Sense of What Happened To Them. Roach Seems Stuck in That One Event.

Lamont Spent Three or Four Minutes Talking about gervation Rather Than Cruz. I rewatched the night tonight to see why he’s so tormented about the result.

After rewatching the Fight, I Believe Tank Davis was Winner. He Landed The Cleaner, Harder Shots All The Way Through It. Roach Constantly Walked Forward, Landing With Occasional Punches Power Lower Them, And Then Using The Shakur-Esse Three-Step Pullback When Attacked. There were nothing in Roach’s Performance for Him to Be So Worked Up Up. The Only Thing Had Going For Him Was Size Size. After rehydrating, He Had the Size Advantage over Davis.

Cruz Seen As Stepping Stone

Roach Is Treating His Fight With Cruz As IF The Victory Is The Bag, And He’s Already Planning His Next Match.

Roach’s Next Move

“I’d Hey, I’d Like to Fight at 140. “It All depends on What’s Available After I Win This Fight (Cruz).

Shakur has been heard that he’s interested in Fighting Roach After His Title Shot Shot Wide Welterweight Champion Teofimo Lopez in Early 2026.

Roach isn’t Ranked at 135, Looks like Stevenson Will Continue to freeze to freeze His WBC Lightweight title. It’s Understandable, Though, Because Shakur’s # 1 contender for His WBC Belt is Andy Cruz, and He’s A Guy That Could Beat Him And Roach. He’s Not Hustling For Fights The Way Shakur and Roach Are Doing.
