The internet has mixed feelings about Gervonta Davis’ new opponent
Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz is a 23-year-old lightweight contender and the #2 ranked IBF title contender. He faced former champion, Francisco Vargas, in his last fight in June.
This decision to replace Romero with Cruz does not really come as a surprise to fans as he was already in line for a shot against both Davis and Teofimo Lopez. He is a gritty, aggressive, and dirty fighter; the kind that Davis has yet to encounter.
This will prove to be a tough matchup for Davis as Cruz is not just another last-minute replacement to the fight. The Mexican has what it takes to trouble the best in the world; hence, it will be interesting to watch how Davis will take on such a fighter.
However, the internet has mixed feelings about this new matchup –
It would be great to see @Gervontaa in a fight with ANYBODY elite. Not flat footed guys available to be knocked out.
