ProBox CEO Garry Jonas Says Team Lamont Roach Looking for Tank Rematch Next or Pitbull Rematch in DC PhilBoxing.com Thu, 11 Dec 2025 (December 10, 2025) – ProBox CEO Garry Jonas wishes to congratulate the fighter he co-promotes (along with Lamont Roach Sr.’s NoXcuse Promotions), former WBA Super Featherweight Champion Lamont Roach Jr., for his courageous performance Saturday night, December 6. Fighting in the PBC on Prime Video pay-per-view main event against WBC Interim Super Lightweight Champion Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz in front of 10,230 Cruz fans at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Roach (25-1-3, 10 KOs) overcame a third-round knockdown and an injured right hand to battle to a controversial 12-round majority draw. A questionable score of 115-111 for Cruz was over-ruled by two scores of 113-113. Most observers had Roach winning a close fight. “We are very proud of Lamont. It was a tremendous fight and, of course, we felt he won,” said Jonas. “A draw in Texas in front of a huge pro-Mexican crowd validates how well Lamont fought. What’s even more impressive is that Lamont fought the last half of the fight with one hand. He broke his right hand halfway through and showed tremendous heart.” Fighting in his first fight at 140 lbs., Roach enjoyed a big advantage on the CompuBox statistics against Cruz, landing 191 of 467 punches (41 percent) against Cruz’s 159 of 544 punches (29 percent). Roach landed 49 percent of his power shots and was credited with landing more punches in eight of 12 rounds. The pair were even in two, leaving Cruz the advantage in just two rounds. “We got the Xray done and it’s confirmed his hand is broken,” continued Jonas, “so first, Lamont will have to let that heal properly, which means no short turn around for him. We still have a rematch clause with Tank (Gervonta Davis), but there’s a lot of uncertainty there. We want the fight if he’s willing and able. We’re also happy to look at a rematch with Pitbull in DC. Lamont has gone into two hostile environments in a row and got two draws. He deserves to fight in front of his fans next time. We are going to do whatever it takes to make that happen when he comes back from injury.”  |
