Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz knocked out Nestor Bravo in the sixth round Saturday night at Pechanga Arena in San Diego, retaining his WBC interim light welterweight title. The Premier Boxing Champions card was promoted by Tom Brown’s TGB Promotions and streamed on DAZN.
Cruz (29-3-2, 19 KOs), 139 pounds, dropped Bravo (24-2, 17 KOs), 139½, during the opening round. Bravo tried to pull Cruz into a clinch while falling, beginning a foul-filled fight that kept referee Thomas Taylor busy.
Taylor deducted a point from Bravo for excessive holding in the second round. Another point came off in the fourth after Bravo threw Cruz onto the canvas.
