SAN ANTONIO – Rolando Romero made Anthony Yigit pay Saturday night, as promised. A day after some more weigh-in drama, the heavy-handed Romero remained unbeaten by stopping the absurdly overweight Swedish southpaw in the seventh round of what went forward as a 140-pound bout on the Jermell Charlo-Brian Castano undercard at AT&T Center. Las Vegas’ Romero (14-0, 12 KOs) dropped Yigit three times – once in the fifth round and twice during the seventh round – before referee Rafael Ramos stopped their scheduled 12-rounder at 1:54 of the seventh round.
