OPENING SHOT DRAW THE LINE: For the second time in two fights, Lamont Roach came out on the wrong end of a 12-round majority decision. The former junior lightweight titleholder appeared to get the better of rampaging pressure fighter Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio in December. However, when the numbers were read for this junior welterweight bout, there was nothing to celebrate. In March, Roach was also deemed very unfortunate not to get the nod against unbeaten lightweight titleholder Gervonta “Tank” Davis.
