Isaac Cruz (Mexico) vs Rolando Romero (USA) - KNOCKOUT, BOXING HD

Tonight, making the first defense of this title, here is the colorful, newly-ground WBA super lightweight champion of the world, introducing Rolando Broly! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the challenger, the all-action and popular world-ranked contender, introducing Isak Pitbull! Isak Cruz entered with confidence, believing his relentless pressure and durability would overwhelm the defending champion. Known for his compact frame and non-stop aggression, Cruz aimed to cut off the ring and force exchanges at close range. He viewed the bout as a major opportunity to capture a world title and solidify his status among the elite at 140 pounds. Pitbull did not go down, but Cruz hit! There is no jab. Right hand lands, there's the pivot, the reset after Romero lands. Because I remember when they asked Romero, hey, how are you going to knock out Cruz? He's like, he's there to be hit. He's doing better defensively now as well, going side to side, ducking underneath. Romero, look on his neck muscles and the core strength and can take a punch he has never... Have you ever seen Cruz change expressions? Never. One minute left in the third round. Then going up top with the right, right uppercut catches Romero. Cruz lands again and Romero just trying to hold on. He's a hard guy to tie up Cruz on the inside because he's there so often. Romero has those long arms and when he tries to exchange on the inside... As we close out the third round, Cruz on the hunt for his first championship. And the challenger in his 140-pound debut spurts him as well. That's part of it, but I also think he's got to hurt him once or twice. There are a lot of casual fans watching that want to learn from the Master of Jokers. Okay, well, a master scorekeeper, okay. Cruz wouldn't have anything to do with that. He came back in the third round, put the pressure on, looked him over on the inside and had him back on the run. Abner, do you concur with Joe's scorecard? I do, I do. Romero... Again, Romero obviously trying to stay in mobility. And still landing some hard shots, Romero, using his... Romero in front of him, cutting off the ring, Romero trying to throw, missing. Along the ribs, there's that shot to the body, right hand, the combinations from Cruz. The other thing is, is that Romero's trying to get out and low, escaping for the rope. And that's Cruz now is adapting to hit the body like that. See, he's not letting him out so easily. Right hand, left hook from Cruz, Romero... Yeah, Romero being more stationary now. He's staying in the pocket and Cruz having fun with those other hand rights. Legitimate title shot at 140. I need you to use your left. Up and down. Look at his chest. Just break those left hips down. Well, here's Rowling with the jab. He left it out there and he left himself open for a left hook to the body and a right hand over the top. But it's a smart move, though, because it's another generation. Grandfather trained by his father. And he really is the guy that wants to change his... Again, he's doing a fantastic job. A people's champion, people love him so much. Oh, wow. There's that right hand again from Cruz. 3-1 in this fight. And there it is, 30 to 10. So, 3-1 clip in terms of... Short expression, he doesn't stop. He's really pretty indestructible. This is his 20... Pouncing! So, Tom Taylor already deducting sets of holding. And of course, it's here against the challenger, Isak Cruz. And Romero looking to land that right uppercut as Cruz... What he's trying to do is just turn Cruz. We don't have to hold that much. We're glimpsing. Holding the tournament, that's it. He's not even stunned, Cruz, at all in this fight. And if he doesn't get the respect, this is what's going to happen. Again, the high guard that Cruz has. But there have been some punches that Romero has landed. Right crossbow, Romero was on the front. And he landed it. It was a beautiful angle shot. Nice body shot from Cruz. One-two from Romero. We haven't seen a lot in this fight. But I think it's going to be an easy fight. Romero's still on his feet. As we begin the second half of this championship affair. Based on what they said, everything's going according to plan. Left hook to the body as Romero tried to escape. And again, on the move, he's... Made it, Joe. He did. Thirty-one to nine. Watch this replay here. It's just... He chases Romero all over the ring. He's hitting him with everything. More shots against Romero. Yeah, really heavy shots from Cruz. He's trying to get him out with the uppercut as well. Right uppercut, left hand. But that title is in jeopardy. Here's the wrap-up. We knew if he got hurt again like this, Tom Taylor wisely stepped in. Tom Taylor jumped in right here and stopped it at the right time. Great job by Taylor. I really loved that. I wasn't here to just fight. I was here to just terminate him and eat him. Eat everything he ever said. Our referee in charge, Thomas Taylor, stops the contest. He is the winner by way of tactical knockout. He is the new WBA super lightweight champion of the world, el orgulloso guerrero mexicano, Isha.
