Rolly was outboxed before and got a gift. I will go with Puello on this one.
Russell taking a step backward with this opponent, he got a scare in his last fight.

Russell should be the guy getting the title shot. He’d whoop Rolly.

They should have just made the rematch tbh.

Rolly is like Jake Paul. I rock with him and root for him. I need the desmadre if he wins

Absolutely and that way there are no questions.

Pbc laying it on thick, trying to prove to CBS/Paramount they can produce boxing content.

How does he get a title shot he was knocked out last fight

[unknowledgeablepugilist]

I'm absolutely dumbfounded on how Romero has gotten an opportunity at a world title in a higher division coming off a knockout loss.
I'd understand if Romero was a proven commodity but he's not. Romero hasn't been a legitimate champion or a top contender on a consistent basis; he's just been a vocal fighter with little to show for it in terms of professional success.
It's not an acceptable world title fight nor should it be headlining a card. Even stylistically the fight isn't redeemable because Puello isn't going to exchange with Romero; it's likely to be another Marinez vs Romero situation.

Nice card. I'll sit back, relax and enjoy this PBC action
