“There’s only two fights I want,” said newly crowned WBA super lightweight champion Rolly Romero after claiming the vacant WBA world title on Saturday night in Las Vegas. “There’s the rematch with Tank Davis. But I think there’s a much bigger option. I want to go after Ryan Garcia. We can do it on Showtime PPV.”
As for Saturday’s win against WBA #1 contender Ismael Barroso, Romero stated, “I boxed the entire time. I came in a little cold. I got cracked and I got up like a champion and kept going.”
Regarding the stoppage, Romero said, “I’ll be honest, he’s a warrior and he should have been allowed to continue. He wanted to keep going and I wanted him to keep going as well.”
Kingry in 2!
I think you and Ryan should have fought before mentioning anyone else
Romero that is
Tony Weeks is a fucking disgrace.
I could understand saving a 40 yr old fighter from a beating, even if it was a 2 minute straight beating after the 40 year old was up 78-73. Still, Barroso would have made it out of the 9th, it wasn’t a big beating he was taking. If he would have went down again in the 10th, then maybe stop it. But Barroso could have taken a flash knockdown in both the 9th and 10th, and been ahead 94-93 after 10. Romero as a face of the lower weights kind of disgusts me, as much as waiting for Spence vs Crawford, kind of turned off by the lighter weights now and all the $ made and no super fights. Romero isn’t a future star over 145 just like Broner wasn’t a future star over 135, but Romero will get paid, and he isn’t a real fighter, he isn’t that interesting what he does in the ring. I prefer fights from 154 on up, too much drama at 147 and under.
I have been involved in boxing as a fighter,trainer,and promoter
For over 45 years. Every time I think things can’t get any worse they do. First Tony Weeks should never be allowed to ref a fight again as long as he lives. This was the worse stoppage I have ever seen. This was a fixed fight and there should be a immediate rematch before Rolly Canova on. They tried to ge Weeks to explain why he stopped the fight. Instead of standing up and being a man and answering the questions. He chose to slide under a rock like the coward he is. No one expected this 40 year old man to win. They tried to give Rolly a easy win . When that didn’t work they had instructed Weeks to stop the fight when he could. The judges had it right at the end of the fight they had the 40 year old winning. Weeks you are a coward and you should he ashamed to show your face near a boxing ring.
I am defending the indefensible, Nevada commission if I recall has some kind of rule that prohibit referees from commenting on fights they refereed
I am not
Dammm all that, Tony Meeks need to be fired!
Rolly against Ryan would be a good fight the winner could get a rematch against Tank, but it would not matter, Tank would destroy either one.
The ref should be fired and that fight was fixed refrigerator was paid off…
Tank will murder him baddly! As per queenry, he is used to fighting bums to show off so, rolly is one of them! Queenry with the easy K.O. Win and a tittle belt in his waist! Queenry couldn’t have it any easier than fighting this bum! Mayweather will not make tank vs rolly 2, nobody interested in seen a one sided massacre ppv ishht!
After this fight, he has to speed up his plans for ‘cash out fights’.
ROLLY IS NOT A CHAMPION YALL THE REF WAS ON HIS SIDE RUN IT BACK OR STRIP M.
He’s TRASH! This is the only way he cashes out!!!!
That was a bum fight. Boxing is bogus…. That was the worst stoppage ever. I’ll never pay to see another fight. Y’all not playing fair. Rolly that made you look bad you wasn’t doing shit
Rollo, doesn’t deserve shit!!!! He was getting his ass kicked by a 40 year old!!!!! ️Kid
this was one of the biggest BS title fights between 2 undeserving fighters especially Rolly
Tony Weeks has no shame either, He’s like hell I’m getting paid. Fire his ASS!
weekes is punch drunk.That was a horrible stoppage.
How the hell did “pussy lips” Romero get a shot at a title directly after being smoked? This guy is the worst belt holder ever. The whole thing needs to be investigated, especially Weeks. Now “golden girls” and mayweather promotions will try to make a fortune off this bum and quitter Garcia.
This is so disappointing. Boxing was off to a fantastic start with Tank V Garcia and now this. I always thought Tony Weeks was a solid ref. If I was a top contender/champion I would NOT want that man as my ref. He’s literally derailing someone’s career.
tony weeks should never work again
