San Antonio stepped into the national spotlight on Saturday, December 6, 2025, as championship boxing returned to the Frost Bank Center for a Prime Video Pay-Per-View event that blended elite athletic competition with a deeper message of community pride. Supported by Thomas J. Henry’s “Built to Win” campaign, the four-fight card underscored South Texas’ growing presence on the national sports and entertainment stage.

A Championship Night with Heart
Headlining the evening was the interim WBC super lightweight title bout between Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz and Lamont “Reaper” Roach Jr. From the opening bell, both fighters delivered a relentless, high-energy performance that kept the crowd on its feet. After twelve fiercely contested rounds, the bout ended in a majority draw, allowing Cruz to retain his interim title in a result that reflected the evenly matched intensity of the fight.

The atmosphere inside the Frost Bank Center went beyond excitement. It was a shared moment of civic pride for a city demonstrating its ability to host elite-level sporting events with national reach.

More Than a Main Event
The Cruz–Roach showdown capped a full four-fight card that delivered nonstop action from start to finish. Three additional high-stakes bouts rounded out the evening, reinforcing San Antonio’s position as a key destination on the national boxing circuit and proving that the city can support complete, high-caliber fight nights—not just single marquee moments.

Throughout the arena, Thomas J. Henry’s “Built to Win” presence aligned seamlessly with the evening’s themes of perseverance, discipline, and performance under pressure.

Building Community Through Entertainment
Long known for his philanthropic initiatives, Thomas J. Henry has consistently supported causes related to education, disaster relief, veterans, animal welfare, and the arts. His involvement in major sporting events reflects a broader commitment to energizing communities while elevating South Texas’ national profile.

“I am committed to bringing the best events to South Texas that energize our community and put this region on the national map,” Henry said. “This evening demonstrated that our market is built to win when it comes to hosting world-class sports and entertainment.”

A Lasting Impact Beyond the Ring
With a packed arena, a successful Prime Video Pay-Per-View broadcast, and a main event that delivered drama until the final scorecards, the night proved that when entertainment and purpose align, the impact resonates far beyond the final bell.
