Current WBC interim super lightweight champion. Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz and newly crowned WBC lightweight champion William Zepeda are both in attendance in Acapulco at the 64th WBC convention.
During a series of interviews, local media began speculating on a potential matchup between these two Mexican warriors. Cruz was once a lightweight and a matchup between the two Guerreros could easily be made, especially since both wear WBC belts.
Sean Gibbons, promoter of Cruz touted both fighters as the most exciting in their division. “This is a match that could easily be made, but first things first,” said Gibbons. Of course, Gibbons is referring to a match between Cruz and WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia. The match has been bandied about for a couple months now.
Both men had their most recent fights one week apart with Garcia polishing off Benn on September 12th while Cruz finished off Nestor Bravo one week later on September 19th. Even if Cruz doesn’t get the Garcia fight, this is a a mouth-watering match between two Mexican warriors who only know how to come forward throw punches in bunches.
