Rolando Romero vs Isaac Cruz prediction and betting tips on March 31, 2024
Rolando Romero
Isaac Cruz
On the night of March 31st, a boxing event will take place in Las Vegas, where American Rolando Romero and Mexican boxer Isaac Cruz will compete for the WBC and WBO belts. The fight is scheduled to begin at 02:00 Central European Time.
Rolando Romero
Rolando began his professional career in 2016, debuting with a knockout victory over David Courtney. He quickly established himself as a powerful puncher but sometimes displayed dirty tactics in the ring, which led to criticism from the audience. In late 2021, a fight between Romero and Gervonta Davis was announced, but Romero was withdrawn from the bout due to sexual assault allegations against him. However, no evidence was presented, and the WBC demanded the fighters renegotiate the bout. In May 2022, the fight took place, ending sadly for Romero as Davis knocked him out in the sixth round, handing him his first career loss. That defeat remains his only one, with 13 out of 15 of Romero's victories coming by knockout.
Isaac Cruz
Despite being only 25 years old, the Mexican has already had 31 fights in his career. He started his career in 2015 and won his first five fights. Cruz's only career loss until 2021 was against Luis Miguel Montano. In December, Isaac replaced his future opponent as Gervonta Davis's opponent in a fight for the WBA lightweight title. The fight went the full 12 rounds, but Cruz lost by unanimous decision. Cruz has since rebounded with three victories.
Rolando Romero vs Isaac Cruz Prediction
Cruz has faced opponents of significantly higher caliber compared to Romero. Both fighters suffered defeats to Gervonta Davis, but Romero was knocked out in the sixth round, whereas Cruz went the distance with Davis. Romero seems to be overrated, while at 25, Cruz has extensive experience and continues to develop. I suggest betting that the boxers will spend more than 9 rounds in the ring.
