Lmfao @ this **** fight. "Championship" my @ss. Paid for by pbc to make Davis look good. Rolly still aint sh.it.

Terrible stoppage!

Some people in these comments have mentioned that no punches were landing in that last exchange before the stoppage but actually Barrasos landed 2 right hands and Rolly landed a grazing right hand, It might have been a jab. In any case, Barrosos landed the better shots in that last exchange.

Rolly's handlers had to stop the fight while they still had a chance. It wasn't looking good for him unless they could perform their slight-of-hand.

I kind of feel bad for Rolly though, because he showed a bit of class in his post fight interview and people are now going to blame him for the sheite-show stoppage. He admitted that Barrosos wanted to keep fighting. The blame is all on Tony Weeks.

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

Rolly called out Tank. He's big, long & strong, so yeah, he landed some shots. But he also GKTFO in 6.

Rolly a bum and was beating Tank, another bum.

Tank is a really good fighter. He's got a unique style. He doesn't throw a lot of punches but he looks to make his punches count and he's good defensively. Tank is no bumb.

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

it's like seeing a bad car wreck. For some odd reason I just keep watching

There should be a pinned thread to track all of the questionable behavior of refs/judges/sanctioning bodies because it's very difficult to follow it all.

I can't help but feel sorry for Romero. He is just so obviously mentally vacant. He literally yells "bam" everytime he throws a punch. Constantly looking at himself on the big screens while he is in the corner. There is something wrong with the dude.

Horrible stoppage and there goes more boxing fans…

[BlackRobb]

One of the worst stoppages and obvious displays of corruption in the sport I've ever seen, and I've been watching boxing for 50 years. Nothing Rolly threw in that last flurry landed. Not a single punch. The knockdown was a push-down. Notice Jim Grey never even tried to flag down Tony Weekes to ask him his thought process that led to the stoppage. Disgusting and disgraceful. Al is becoming just as blatantly corrupt as Bob and Eddie. He's no longer even hiding it. If you thought the Granados-Easter and Fortuna-Easter decisions were bad, this stoppage is considerably worse because it was so out in the open for everyone to see in real time.

Calling out Ryan Garcia
