Kosport Magazine: Pitbull Cruz Proves He’s Ready for the Top Tier at Light Welterweight

In the world of boxing, there are few things more exciting than a rising star making their mark in a highly competitive division. And that’s exactly what Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz did when he defeated WBA champion Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero last month.

With this impressive win, lightweight contender Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela believes that Cruz has solidified his place among the best fighters in the light welterweight division. And he’s not alone in this belief.

Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has also expressed interest in seeing Cruz face IBF champion Subriel Matias in a unification fight. And it’s not hard to see why. Both fighters are known for their aggressive styles and willingness to engage in a brawl, making for an exciting matchup that fans would love to see.

But as with any potential fight, negotiations can be tricky. Hearn, who promotes Matias, is hoping to make the matchup happen, but it ultimately depends on PBC boss Al Haymon agreeing to it. And as we’ve seen in the past, Haymon is careful in the matches he makes involving his fighters.

However, Valenzuela believes that Cruz is up for the challenge and compares favorably to the other champions in the division. In an interview with Kosport Magazine, he stated, “He’s up there with all those guys. Pitbull looked tremendous. They got to talk about him with everybody.”

And it’s not just Valenzuela who sees Cruz as a top-tier fighter. Former world champion Chris Algieri also ranks him highly, stating, “After watching [Cruz] completely dismantle and abuse Rolly Romero, he’s actually a good addition. I got Isaac Cruz at #4. A very hot division.”

But what makes Cruz stand out from the other champions in the division? For one, his entertainment value. With his aggressive style and knockout power, he’s a fan favorite and always delivers an exciting fight. And as Valenzuela points out, he’s above the likes of Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez in terms of entertainment value.

So what’s next for Pitbull Cruz? Ideally, a unification fight with Matias would be the dream matchup. And with Matias set to face Liam Paro in June, Hearn is hopeful that he can make the fight happen next.

But regardless of who he faces next, one thing is for sure: Pitbull Cruz has proven that he’s ready for the top tier at light welterweight. And with his exciting style and impressive skills, he’s sure to continue making waves in the division for years to come.
