Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Rolly Romero Is Strong As F---! Put All Other Lightweights Out There On Notice

[PredatorStyle]

I think Rolly will be a problem for any lightweight, because of his physicality. Obviously the advantage will be lost if he moves up.

Good comment. Exactly the way I see it

That is the understatement of the decade. He had Tank in there running for dear life to the point where he refused to fight or engage with him. Once Gervonta felt Romero's power he instantly went into panic mode. He stopped competing. He would no longer throw anymore punches. He went into survival mode.

Tank has shown great skills, but, sorry, skills have to be proven against elite competition before you put a guy in the P4P Top 10. Tank is an elite fighter for sure, but he's honestly not done enough yet to make it into the Top 10 fighters in the sport.

hummm sounds like another fighter in the P4P listings lol.

Your comment doesn't make sense. So Tank is an elite fighter that hasn't faced elite competition? How do you know he's elite then? Davis is not elite until he faces elite competition IMO. He beat Romero, great, but the guy had 14 fights and started boxing at 17 and Davis didn't look good in the process

Well, I do think there are quite a lot of elite fighters out there (e.g. Ennis, Ortiz Jr, Donaire, F. Sanchez, etc, etc) who either haven't done enough yet or haven't done enough recently to get them/keep them on any Top 10 P4P lists. IMO, P4P is about achievements not just skills. I think Tank will get there because he does have elite abilities and he's got plenty of good competition in front of him. He's just got to fight them.

Notice on what? That he's amateur at best, and the only reason he got this fight was because of his big mouth to sell the fight, and his lack of skills....

There goes Ellerbe, trying to salvage Rolly's reputation. Not gonna happen. He talked mega **** about what he thought he was gonna do, did all these training videos hopping around like a kangaroo and throwing weird ass punches with coach Bullet aka Jack Blackburn II, and he still only lasted 6 out of 12 rounds. All Rolly did was elbow, forearms pushing down on the back of the neck, and do judo takedowns. Dirty mofo with no defense and no skills. So what he's strong? That won't stop him from getting drilled again. No one is scared of Rolly. The referee did us the greatest disservice by stopping that fight and denying us a much more brutal finish. That's the only reason Ellerbe can still sit up here and try to put sugar on top of sh.t

Isaac Cruz fight for Romero is easy to make. Just as easy as you made it for Tank. What's the problem now?

[Bonham77]

Yea Ellerbe, he put the boxing world on notice alright. He let everyone know if you hit him with a clean shot, he's knocked out. As Tank said, there wasn't even any power in it, just timed well. Yea Rolly looked big and strong but looking big and strong means fu ck all. You gotta know how to fight. Rolly didn't impress me at all. The whole fight im thinking " when is Tank going to tag him ?" I knew it was just a matter if time. He ended it in 6 . Here's a guy, Rolly, get smashed in 6, and everyone is praising him. The boxing world is truly in bad shape.

Eddie’s right Ellerbe’s a moron.

Romero might as well have used the Dillian Whyte push excuse. Long way back for him to get into contention given how many others there are in line.
