Comments Thread For: Rolly Romero Gets Off The Floor, Gains Controversial Stoppage of Ismael Barroso in Ninth For WBA Title

I've been watching boxing for a long time. That was possibly the worst stoppage I've ever seen. So bad that I logged back on to this website after like a year and a half away from it.

We're also getting fights every week, so it gives us a bigger sample size of questionable behavior. We just had the RCC card last week.

Yep, that card immediately came to mind. Two of the worst robberies by judges in history, followed the next week by one of the worst robberies by a ref in history. Boxing just keeps finding ways to one up itself and not in a good way

I give Barroso credit. Chronologically 40, biologically 60, and still whipped Rolly’s ass before the corruption landed.

Jack Reis should have refed this fight.

Jack almost let a fighter die tonight. Terrible night from referees

[Basco]

What a **** show!

[Loque-san]

If Rolly is garbage and was losing to an elderly Barroso, what does that say about "the new face of boxing"?

Nothing.

This fight happened because boxing is a business.

Tank knocked Rolly out.

That's it, really.

Sadly this happens every single week in boxing where people get robbed by judges and refs and the train just keeps rolling on, there are never any changes and it is always forgotten and swept under the rug by the next week. Pure insanity that this is allowed to happen week after week with no repercussions. That's what happens when you have a sport without any kind of real regulation or oversight, everybody can do whatever the **** they want without having to worry about consequences. Sport should have been disbanded immediately after Hagler/Hearns and gone out on a high note

We're also getting fights every week, so it gives us a bigger sample size of questionable behavior. We just had the RCC card last week.

I cannot think of a single time where a commission ever overturned the result of a fight that didn't involve a failed drug test.

True. Though anyone watching a replay would have to be totally corrupt to not see Weeks was bought and paid for. Rolly was too terrible to even hit Barroso cleanly and make it appear anywhere near legit. Weeks was told, when Rolly starts throwing, you call it off. Incredibly obvious, especially when you look at the fact that Romero threw next to nothing all fight, and suddenly turned into Clubber Lang, lol. They probably told Weeks and Rolly the actually round and coordinated it.

Boxing is what it is. You get that first fight, which was a thing of beauty. Then you get the last two debacles.

May be the worst stoppage I've ever seen. Also, compare to ref Reiss on Jonibek fight giving Butler unnecessary opportunity to continue

Having to rob a 40yr old like that, err I feel for the guy.
I hope he got paid well at least

Though being robbed and got paid for it sounds funny but it's actually a crime on itself. Though I understand what you meant. Anyway, what happened to this old guy is disgusting and the height of corruption in boxing.
