Ryan Garcia Gives Isaac Cruz One December Chance

Cruz (29-3-2, 19 KOs) protected the payday by dropping Bravo twice and finishing him with a left hook. Ryan had wanted an impressive performance before committing himself, and Pitbull did enough to change his mind.

“Bravo, Pitbull proved me wrong tonight. Let’s do this in December. The offer is on the table,” Ryan posted on X . “I can tame a lion. I’m not too concerned about taming a Pitbull. I’ve already given the go to my attorney. If he rejects this time I will never give him another chance, you have my word.”

The deadline works in Ryan’s favor. Cruz fought on September 19, leaving him less than three months before a possible December return. He did not absorb prolonged punishment from Bravo, but an immediate camp leaves little time to recover or build a specialized plan for Ryan’s speed, height, and left hook.
