On July 29th, there will be a 12-round, 135-pound bout between Isaac Cruz and Giovanni Cabrera at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This fight is part of the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terence Crawford event and will be showcased as the co-main event on the Showtime Pay-Per-View telecast.
Isaac Cruz, a lightweight contender boasting a record of 24-2-1 and 17 knockouts, has earned acclaim for his tenacious showing against Gervonta Davis in December 2021. He subsequently emerged victorious over Yuriorkis Gamboa and Eduardo Ramirez in a WBC eliminator and currently holds rankings with the IBF, WBC, WBA, and WBO. Meanwhile, Giovanni Cabrera is an unbeaten lightweight pugilist with a record of 21-0 and 7 knockouts, having secured impressive wins against Rene Tellez Giron and Gabriel Flores Jr.
When they enter the ring, both fighters will have been on a long break. Cruz has won his last fights against Eduardo Ramirez and Yuriorkis Gamboa by knockout, while Cabrera’s most recent victory was against Gabe Flores Jr. in July 2022. The Cruz vs. Cabrera fight increases the excitement for the Spence-Crawford event, which is anticipated to be a thrilling welterweight showdown.
Cruz is setting his sights on larger prospects, such as a second bout with Gervonta Davis and possibly taking on Devin Haney. Nevertheless, he is presently ranked lower than Shakur Stevenson in the WBC rankings. Cabrera, conversely, intends to confront the Mexican pugilist and progress in the lightweight category.
