A compelling battle between two proven titlists headlines tonight\u2019s Premier Boxing Champions\u2019 Prime Video pay-per-view card from San Antonio with outgoing WBA junior lightweight titleholder Lamont Roach Jnr meeting Mexico\u2019s former 140lbs belt holder Isaac \u201cPitbull\u201d Cruz.<\/p>\n
BoxingScene will provide continued live updates tonight of the four pay-per-view bouts, including relevant check-ins from the opening middleweight bout between PBC\u2019s promising challenger Jesus Ramos Jnr and son of legend Shane Mosley Jnr.<\/p>\n
From there, we\u2019ll have round-by-round coverage of the WBA middleweight title bout between titlist Erislandy Lara, 42, of Cuba, and replacement challenger Johan Gonzalez following the positive PED result of unified champion Janibek Alimkhanuly.<\/p>\n
The co-main event also has issues, with featherweight titleholder Stephen Fulton surprisingly coming in overweight for his shot at a third division title, moving up to 130lbs to meet WBC titlist O\u2019Shaquie Foster.<\/p>\n
By being two pounds over, Fulton will now meet Foster for the WBC interim lightweight belt.<\/p>\n
