Rolly Romero Vows To Become The First Person To Stop Isaac Cruz

Rolly Romero is confident he will be the first person to stop Isaac Cruz on Saturday night.

Romero vs. Cruz is the co-main event fight for Tim Tszyu vs. Sebastian Fundora. The co-main event is an intriguing matchup, and although Cruz is the betting favorite, Romero doesn’t think Cruz is all that special or has any unique traits.

“He’s not that unique,” Romero said. “I fight guys like him all the time. This has probably been the easiest time I’ve ever had finding sparring in my life. He can be replicated; I can’t. My style goes hand in hand with my personality – it’s unique.”

With Rolly Romero thinking Isaac Cruz is very similar to opponents he has fought, he has confidence he will land the KO shot and be the first person to stop him. He also wants to shut up Cruz as he knows his opponent has bee full of trash-talk in the lead-up to the scrap.

“If you want to come right at me and get cracked, go for it,” Romero said. “He can do all that stuff with the small guys he fights, but I’m a big fighter and I hit harder than anyone at the weight class. I’m always here to go for the knockout and to go for the kill. I’m not here to just touch you – I want to pop you. I’m gonna knock him out. He’s gonna come forward and I’m gonna stop him. He gets hit with everything, so it could be any kind of punch…

“All I am doing right now is getting ready to shut his mouth, punch by punch,” Romero added. “With every punch, he is going to talk a little less.”
