Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz is set to meet Nestor Bravo in a 12-round contest for the interim WBC super lightweight championship at Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California, on Saturday, Sept. 19. The card is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, while the main-event ringwalks are expected at approximately 11 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. PT.
The matchup places two fighters with notably strong records at the top of a Southern California bill: Cruz enters at 28-3-2, and Bravo arrives at 24-1-0. It is the interim WBC title designation—not simply a non-title headliner—that gives the bout its central stakes. For viewers, the practical takeaway is straightforward: this is a championship fight scheduled for the full 12 rounds, so the listed main-event start should be treated as an estimate rather than a guarantee. The length of the earlier bouts will determine precisely when Cruz and Bravo make their walks.
How to watch Cruz vs. Bravo
The event is streaming live on DAZN. It is included for DAZN subscribers as a premium live boxing event, rather than being listed separately as an additional pay-per-view purchase for subscribers.
For people without an existing subscription, access is listed from $24.99 per month. DAZN also lists an Ultimate Tier at $49.99 per month; that plan includes this event and 12 other pay-per-view events across the year with no separate charge beyond the monthly subscription. The plan is also described as including more than 100 live fights annually, plus replays, highlights and documentaries.
That distinction matters because boxing streaming language can be confusing. A “premium live event” can sound like an extra transaction, while the details here frame Cruz vs. Bravo as part of the applicable DAZN subscription. Anyone considering a sign-up should still review the plan terms displayed at the point of purchase, particularly because the two listed subscription tiers have different monthly prices and the higher tier specifically includes a broader set of PPV events.

Why the ringwalk time is only an estimate
Combat-sports broadcasts commonly distinguish between the beginning of a card and the start of the headliner. The 8 p.m. ET start time applies to the event as a whole, including the undercard. “Ringwalk” refers to the fighters’ entrance toward the ring shortly before the main event, not the opening bell itself.
On this card, eight bouts are listed in addition to the Cruz-Bravo main event. Each earlier fight can end early, reach the judges’ scorecards, or require normal broadcast time for entrances and post-fight activity. That is why viewers who only want the title fight may target the projected 11 p.m. ET window, while viewers hoping to see the full program should be ready at the announced card start.
It is also worth separating a scheduled distance from a prediction. The main event is booked for 12 rounds, but that does not mean it will necessarily last 12. The phrase tells viewers the maximum regulation distance for the bout. The actual duration depends on the fight itself.

Updated fight card
The San Diego lineup spans several weight classes, from lightweight to heavyweight. The complete card currently listed is:
- Super lightweight: Isaac Cruz vs. Nestor Bravo — interim WBC title main event
- Super middleweight: Daniel Blancas vs. Sergio Jimenez
- Middleweight: Marco Verde vs. Guillermo Hernandez
- Middleweight: Eumir Marcial vs. Omar Ulises Huerta
- Super middleweight: Lazaro Francisco Lorenzana vs. Marcos Vazquez Rodriguez
- Lightweight: Robert Guerrero Jr. vs. Shawn Rall
- Heavyweight: Valerii Tadtaev vs. Juan Silva
- Super lightweight: Diego Luna vs. Renny Viamonte Mastrapa
Weight-class labels are a useful guide to the kinds of contests viewers will see across the night. Cruz and Bravo headline at super lightweight, while the supporting lineup moves through lightweight, middleweight, super middleweight and heavyweight. The varying divisions also mean the undercard is not built around one single weight category; it offers a broader boxing slate before the title fight.
Ramos vs. Nursultanov has been removed
The planned co-main event between Jesus Ramos Jr. and Meiirim Nursultanov will not take place on this card. Their interim WBC middleweight title bout was pulled after Ramos became ill with suspected food poisoning.
That change is significant for viewers timing their evening around the original lineup. A co-main event ordinarily sits immediately before the headline attraction, so its removal changes the shape of the late portion of the broadcast. It does not alter the listed Cruz-Bravo main event, but it is another reason the estimated ringwalk time should be understood as a guide rather than a fixed appointment.
What the title label means for the broadcast
The event describes Cruz vs. Bravo as a fight for an interim WBC championship. “Interim” is part of the official title description attached to this particular contest. In practical viewing terms, it communicates that the main event is being presented around a recognized belt and that it carries greater formal weight than a standard non-title fight.
Fans should avoid reading details into that label beyond what has been announced. The available event information identifies the title and the scheduled 12-round format, but does not set out further championship implications. The confirmed facts are the ones that matter ahead of the broadcast: Cruz and Bravo are the headliners, the belt is on the line, and the fight is set for San Diego.
A practical viewing plan
- Decide whether to watch the whole card or only the main event. The full broadcast begins at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
- If tuning in for Cruz vs. Bravo, allow for flexibility. Ringwalks are expected around 11 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. PT, but the preceding fights can shift that timing.
- Check the revised lineup before settling in. Ramos vs. Nursultanov is no longer part of the program because Ramos fell ill.
- Understand the subscription choice. The standard access listed begins at $24.99 monthly, while the Ultimate Tier is listed at $49.99 monthly and includes this event plus 12 other PPVs during the year.
DAZN’s wider lineup includes boxing alongside international sports programming, which makes its subscription model different from a single-event purchase. For an audience accustomed to entertainment coverage crossing into games and sports-business news, the broader overlap is visible in stories such as the reported connections between gaming sessions and a major games-industry deal. Here, though, the immediate focus is more direct: a live boxing card, a revised co-main slot, and Cruz vs. Bravo at the top.
For Cruz and Bravo, the relevant clock starts with the card at 8 p.m. ET. For everyone waiting specifically for the championship bout, the sensible plan is to be available before the projected 11 p.m. ET ringwalk window and to expect the live format to set the final pace.
