Tempers flare, cooler heads prevail as Issac Cruz and Lamont Roach make weight

The fight will still move forward, though. As previously reported by BoxingScene, Foster, 23-2 (12 KOs), will retain his belt regardless of the outcome of their scheduled 12-round contest. Instead – and in an absurd decision, even by awful sanctioning body standards – their match will now come with the WBC interim 135lbs title at stake. This last minute decision was made, despite the fact that the WBC previously granted the same approval – during its own annual convention, no less – to an already scheduled Ricardo Nunez-Jadier Herrera clash.
