Isaac Jonathan Cruz González vs. Giovanni Cabrera Mioletti

Could be packaged as the co-feature to Joshua James Wiliams Taylor vs. Teófimo Andrés López Rivera on June tenth (easy to make, as Cabrera is signed with Top Rank, the promoter of both TTT & Takeover). If not that date it'll be the week prior or the one after.

Cruz is the #6 WBA, #5 IBF & WBO, #4 Ring Magazine and #2 WBC ranked contender at lightweight. Cabrera for his part is WBO #11 and IBF #9, so there's a nonzero chance this could be declared an eliminator for either org, with the pot of gold at the rainbow's end a date with unified champ Devin Haney either way.

Isaac Jonathan Cruz González had a strong 2022 with consecutive stoppage victories over Yuriorkis Gamboa Toledano and Eduardo Antonio Solorza Ramírez to follow up on a lauded performance in a controversial loss to Gervonta Davis at the very end of the previous year. He will be pushing nine months of inactivity come fight night, however, so the pressure is on to see a bit of action both to forestall rust and preserve his momentum and bullish stock.

Giovanni Cabrera Mioletti has been on the shelf even longer, having last fought in July. That was a nice victory, a dominant wide UD (including two bombastic 1st-round knockdowns) over Gabriel Félix Flores, Jr. That was probably his career high achievement to date, however, facing much weaker competition than Cruz and still boasting a paltrier KO rate of about half the Mexican's, even though he brings the undefeated record with a bigger promotional machine at his back.

 

I'm actually worried for him.
