“Ready for Battle: Isaac Cruz Throws Down the Gauntlet, Challenges Ryan Garcia After Haney Triumph!”
The world of boxing is no stranger to surprises, and Ryan Garcia’s recent victory over Devin Haney has sent shockwaves through the sport. But perhaps none were more surprised than Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz, the WBA super lightweight champion, who found himself taken aback by Garcia’s unexpected triumph.
In an interview with Spanish sports media channel, Fino Boxing, Cruz shared his thoughts on Garcia’s win, admitting that he, like many others, was caught off guard by the outcome of the fight. Reflecting on Garcia’s aggressive approach and Haney’s apparent frustration, Cruz acknowledged that Garcia’s performance was not what he had anticipated.
But despite his surprise, Cruz wasted no time in expressing his readiness to face Garcia in the ring. Following Garcia’s statement that he would be open to a bout with Cruz, the Pitbull made it clear that he was more than willing to step up to the challenge. In a press conference after his own victory, Cruz addressed Garcia’s past weight issues and reiterated his desire to fight him.
Cruz said, “Well, it was a fight that was very surprising.” Not just him, the 25-year-old thought even Haney was surprised during the fight with Garcia’s aggression. So, Cruz further added, “I didn’t expect to see Ryan Garcia going forward looking for the fight.”
Cruz suggested, “Haney was totally frustrated in some way to counteract Ryan’s power.”
“Ryan Garcia doesn’t take things seriously. Even when he comes to the weigh-in, he’s [overweight] by three pounds…,” said Cruz. Turning to potentially fighting Garcia, Cruz said, “It’s not the first time. It’s a lot of times he’s said he wants to fight. I’m ready and I want to fight him.”
For Garcia, who has named Cruz as one of the fighters he would like to face next, the challenge appears to be looming on the horizon. Despite Cruz’s surprise at Garcia’s win, his determination to step into the ring with the King Ry suggests that their potential showdown could be one for the ages.
As the boxing world eagerly awaits the next chapter in this unfolding saga, one thing is clear: Isaac Cruz may have been surprised by Ryan Garcia’s victory, but he’s more than ready to take him on in the ring. And if their paths do cross, fans can expect nothing short of fireworks as these two formidable fighters go head-to-head in the ultimate showdown.
