Fighter history
Romero turned professional in 2016 and quickly ascended up the ranks of the lightweight division. In August 2020, “Rolly” secured the vacant WBA interim lightweight title with an unanimous decision win over Jackson Maríñez. His perfect record, however, was blemished by a tough 6th-round stoppage loss to Gervonta Davis in May 2022.
Cruz has been a professional since 2015, starting out against local competition in his hometown of Mexico. He soon made a transition to the United States after early success. Cruz most notably tested Tank Davis in their December 2021 fight, although he lost on the cards. Despite his 5’4” frame, “Pitbull” showcases relentless pressure on opponents and has won his last three bouts.
Fight odds
Cruz has -310 odds to win the fight, while Romero enters a +235 underdog, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The favored method of victory is Cruz by KO/TKO (-135).
