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

Tony Weeks is a trash

[SUBZER0ED]

Tony Weeks is the most corrupt, piece of shit referee that I have ever seen. SOB should be banned from boxing!

Forget the controversy. If anyone thought Rolly was not getting the belt you’re crazy. The fight was stopped because Rolly was losing .. they are going to feed him to Tank or Ryan Garcia next GUARANTEED. He can’t beat Prograis, Teofimo, Taylor, Haney, Ryan or Tank but they will cash him out vs Tank or Ryan .. watch and see ..

This is probably the first time I see a card where the fights get gradually worse in quality.

Sims and Akhmedov were the only good fighters I saw. Their fight was excellent and would have been a worthy title fight.


The main event was almost comical.

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

It wasn't a "bad stoppage". Weeks was obviously directed to stop the fight as soon as Rolly started being aggressive. The knockdown was a push, not a knockdown, obviously. The stoppage was bought and paid for in order to give Romero a belt and further his career.

Romero seems literally to have the IQ of mentally handicapped person and he is not a good fighter. They are building him up to try and make some money off him before he gets ended by someone.

Hopefully Barroso's team goes to the commission and fight the result. It could be thrown out, that was the most obvious paid off ref I have ever seen.

Tony Weeks is working for Mayweather and is he n the take, what a piece of horse sh_ _ he is! This guy winning the fight easy and they do this to him. He never was down from a punch either, Weeks never need to work a fight again but fans have to demand this guy is fired and I promise to do my part. One of the worst stoppages in years and he had no problem know Rolly losing calling a throw down a knock down. Weeks is a bi_t_!

Probably the most obvious corruption I've watched in boxing and I've seen some horrible robberies and some likely dives.

Really opens your eyes about pro sports and how dirty it is when you see obvious corruption like that..

Cause the thing is nothing is going to happen to that ref because the commission probably on it too

[steeve steel]

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

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.
