Isaac Cruz retained his WBC interim super-lightweight title with a controversial majority draw against Lamont Roach in Texas.

Cruz knocked the American down for the first time in his career with a fierce left hook in the third round.

However, Cruz was deducted a point for a kidney punch in round seven, while Roach landed 191 punches to Cruz's 159 over 12 rounds at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio.

Two judges scored the fight 113-113 and the third called it 115-111 in Cruz's favour.

It was Roach's second successive majority draw this year after his fight with Gervonta Davis in March.
