This Romero kid is not a bad little fighter but he is so full of himself it’s ridiculous. Straight up DOOFUS! Dude sounds like he has about a 3rd grade education at best.
He runs around calling himself the hardest puncher below welterweight all he does is wing his punches like a fool, the day he tries that against Ryan Garcia or Tank Davis it’s boom splat Romero will end up unconscious. Pound for pound the hardest puncher is Naoya Inoue, who not only hits harder than Romero but in another stratosphere compared to the very limited one dimensional Romero as far as overall skill level.
Yeah, the Romero kid is a little strange, but many fighters are to do that sport. I would rate Tank Davis over Inoue, but the Japanese fighter definitely cracks. David Lemieux also cracks; what he did to Curtis Stevens was criminal, I’d rate him up there.
Rolly Romero is my guy. He punches with bad intentions. Comes forward to make a fight. Talks smack and shows up for a fight.
So, you guys dont like guys who display elite Boxing skills (Too boring). You say you like a puncher that comes forward. Now you want him to be a darn saint and keep his mouth shut?
Political correctness has men turning to cracklin hens.
The question is does Rolly really have power? He’s fought no one other than Marinez and he’s not a top tier lightweight. He got a gift decision in that fight and he couldn’t knock Marinez out but Commey did it easily. All of his previous opponents were nobody’s and that includes Sparrow, as your competition gets better that’s when you see how much power you really have!!!
He got his ass kicked against Martinez.
Romero is not 13-0 he lost against Martinez.
