Comments Thread For: Rolly Romero To Challenge Alberto Puello For WBA 140-Pound Title; April Date, Venue TBD

I can see them feeding him to the Gary Russell who fights at 140 too. Antuanne is it? I lose track with all those Russell kids.

I thought that Russell was going to be the one getting the Puello shot. Maybe that’ll be next

He should be. He’s far more talented than the likes of Rolly. Hopefully he at least gets the winner.

Must be nice being a Haymon hoe, get title shots at fake wba belts coming off a loss and without ever competing at a new weight. Corruption runs deep between Haymon and the WBA.

WBA is a POS. There are 6 other fighters ranked higher in the WBA website. Why the F are they getting skipped for the title shot? What is the point of these rankings if they are not even following them?

A guy like Barboza and Boots continue to fight for a title shot when guys like Rolly and Oscar Valdez just get them after losing their last fight.

Maybe it's a "voluntary" defence? Then to get sanctioned the opponent only had to be top 15 or so ranked by whatever alphabet organisation, don't they?

PBC trying to matchmake Romero with a beatable champion at 140 to hype him up. Many thought that Puello lost to Ahkmedov in his last bout if I recall.

Should have been Gary Antuanne Russell instead of Rolly.

I struggle to understand why Rolly gets so many opportunities, I think he’s terrible tbh.

Is he a bit of a draw in the US or something like that?

He’s got a big mouth; he comes to fight; and he’s not very good. Not a bad combination if you have an up-and-coming fighter you wanna make look like something. Shut the loudmouth up in resounding fashion. Everyone loves that.

Why can't Gary Antanne Russell get a titleshot?
