Isaac Cruz recently did something out of the blue. Fresh from the ring, he showed a different kind of strength. On a night that crowned him a world champion, he chose a simple act. Cruz had just claimed a major victory against Rolando Romero. It was an intense fight, ending in the eighth round via a TKO.

Pitbull Cruz stopped Romero, winning the WBA 140-pound title. But what he did next was not in the ring. Instead of basking in glory, he served dinner, to his wife and kids, no less. Why does this matter? How does it reflect on Cruz, the person? Fans had some thoughts.
