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

Horrible stoppage and there goes more boxing fans…

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

[Loque-san]

I'm not even sure it's corruption. I mean Tony Weeks is an awful referee now. He and Kenny Bayless should either retire or be demoted to club fights.

Whole card was bull! Kenneth Sims Jr. vs Batyr Akhmedov should have been called a draw! Rances Barthelemy was defeated by Omar Juarez! Rolly was running from a 40 year old journeyman and losing on the scorecards. Then, had the nerve to call out Ryan Garcia. Boxing is a **** show at this point. Only an idiot would drop money on a PPV fight. The **** is rigged anyway! Ole Spudz McKenzie looking ass Tony Weeks wouldn’t even show his face to comment on the stoppage!

Yeah that's how I saw tonite....But I won anyways. 3 more 2 go.
