Thomas J. Henry Elevates South Texas with a Championship Night of Boxing

South Texas stepped into the national spotlight on Saturday, December 6th, 2025, as Frost Bank Center hosted one of the region’s most anticipated boxing events in recent memory. The four fight Prime Video Pay Per View showcase headlined by Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz and Lamont “Reaper” Roach Jr. marked a milestone not only for the athletes but for the community, bolstered in large part by the support of Thomas J. Henry, who served as one of the official sponsors of the evening.

The sponsorship formed part of Henry’s ongoing “Built to Win” campaign, a message that echoed throughout the arena as fans watched twelve rounds of intense super lightweight competition. It was a night designed to entertain, yet it also carried a broader purpose. Henry’s involvement reinforced his longstanding commitment to elevating South Texas through high profile cultural and sporting moments that bring national attention to the region.

The headline matchup lived up to its billing. Cruz and Roach traded control over twelve suspenseful rounds, a demonstration of skill and competitive resolve that kept the crowd on its feet. The bout closed with a majority draw. One judge scored the fight 115 to 111 for Cruz, while the remaining two cards came in at 113 to 113, allowing Cruz to retain his interim WBC super lightweight title.

The result underscored the razor thin margins that define championship boxing. It also highlighted why the event resonated with fans across South Texas who arrived ready for a night of decisive punches and big stage drama.

Henry’s words matched the atmosphere inside the arena. Frost Bank Center pulsed with anticipation not only for the main event but for the trio of undercard bouts that set the tone earlier in the night.

The evening’s undercard gave fans a dynamic preview of rising talent and tightly matched opponents. Three additional high stakes fights rounded out the card, offering a complete four bout showcase that further strengthened San Antonio’s status as a national boxing destination. The energy built steadily through each match, setting the stage for the headline fight and underscoring the appetite for major sporting events in South Texas.

This return to big time boxing did more than entertain. It positioned the region as a host capable of generating national attention, creating economic impact, and delivering world class production value.

Thomas J. Henry’s presence within South Texas extends far beyond the ropes.
