Isaac Cruz’s comments at a recent virtual conference clearly indicate that he is confident but not overconfident.

This is going to be a great fight. I’m ready to shock the world and become the next star in the pantheon of Mexican boxing champions. I’m ready to put on a show. There were a wide array of feelings when I knew I got this fight, but most of all, it made me really motivated to be ready for this opportunity, said Cruz.
