Comments Thread For: Rolly Romero: Big pay, looming fights 'messing up the sport'

[champion4ever]

No one is saying that Rolly is a world beater , just that he's got the right idea.

So let me ask you this question. Do you believe Rolando Romero is an elite fighter now; Since he’s defeated Ryan Garcia? I don’t.

I thought after the knockdown King Ry basically mentally checked out of the fight. Had Derrick James decided to stop the fight. Ryan wouldn’t have protested.

He didn’t want to be there anyhow without doping and having those PEDS and steroids in his system. It was the only reason why he performed so well against Haney.

Ridiculous. He was getting spanked by Ismael Barroso before the completion of total fight fixing. Beating drug taking overweight style Garcia, the wanker of all wankers is not a recommendation.

That is exactly the truth! Rolly defeated the clean, steroid/PED free version of Ryan Garcia.

When KingRy is not doping and fighting on an even and level playing field. He is a totally different fighter..

Judging by his performance against Rolly; He is just not the same fighter without them.

Its not only the entitled to fighter but the promoters.

Rolly is 100% correct. If you pay a guy $20 million dollars, and he rolls up to the fight in the Batmobile, you know he’s not thinking about the fight. He’s thinking about spending that paycheck. He doesn’t have to fight ever again. And DAZN is gonna charge the fans $70 to watch that?

only happens when u pay clowns like cryin ryan garcia the big bucks, the douche bag has never even won a world title, hes not even proven hes even belt level and got caught with peds in his haney fight, hes more con artist than boxer actually

as for rolly playing the victim here, give me a break, hes was handed big fights, a belt & has been given more of a leg up in the sport than almost anyone, hes the very definition of privileged in this sport

[BlackRobb]

Me too. What the fuck happened?

Rolly seems genuine, not fake.

The business side of everything always show its ugly head

Garbage fights and garbage-- head fighters and they still are trying to spin the results and make traction................

[Butt stuff]

Rolly should fight Conner Benn

This is THE fight. Well matched, and both kind of restarted.

[boxingitis]

He may well be beaten by Jaron Ennis and Brian Norman Junior 'But he would have genuinely earned the right, to compete in those fights. Nobody within the boxing community should be criticising or attempting to devalue what Romero has just achieved'.

I get that certain folk within society and the boxing community are Glory Hunters 'And those people will find it extremely difficult to appreciate fighters who are not World to Elite level fighters but are clearly way above domestic level. Rolly Romero is a fighter operating at that sort of level in the game'.

From the very first moment this fight was announced, I gave Rolly Romero a serious chance of winning 'Whether he wins or loses, he has always produces a solid effort. And in my opinion? There was not much difference between Garcia's and Romero's effort vs Gervonta Tank Davis. Rolly Romero was just knocked out earlier than Ryan Garcia. For as long as both fights lasted, I think Romero was pushing Tank Davis in a competitive fight'.

Note: I think people should just keep the fight in context 'It was a matchup between two popular, entertaining and intriguing fighters. Neither fighter has really proven themselves to be unequivocally a World level fighter. But out of the two fighters, Rolly Romero was the only former World Champion so that at least proves that he is a solid fighter'.

But let's get one thing right? Rolly Romero did not 'Get Lucky' vs Ryan Garcia 'Romero straight up beat him, and was the better fighter'. I have stated just yesterday, that Rolly Romero was picked by the powers that be backing Ryan Garcia for a reason? Because they thought it would be a entertaining fight, but one were Garcia was highly likely to win in very impressive fashion. That was the media narrative and status quo being promoted by the media machine backing Ryan Garcia'.

Well Rolly Romero improvised and went off script; it had nothing to do with being lucky 'It was all due to his own work ethic and ability, showing on fight night vs Ryan Garcia'.

To conclude: I am not going to devalue Rolly Romero's win by making the excuse that Ryan Garcia has underperformed. Garcia has never shown any signs that he is a miles better fighter than Rolly Romero. The only people giving Romero no chance, was most likely the American based media who completely overrate their boxing prospects. In fact when you analyse the two fighters from a pure technical perspective, I would rate Rolly Romero as the marginally better fighter. Ryan Garcia has only in his career been able to legitimate win one top level fights, and that was against Luke Campbell in the latter part of his career. A fight where he was decked and skill for skill in my opinion Campbell was still clearly the better boxer throughout the large majority of the fight, unfortunately for him just got caught with a body punch which he did not recover from. Credit to Ryan Garcia for that performance'.

So yes, In New York Times Square, the stage was set for Ryan Garcia to win a comeback fight in impressive fashion 'Garcia did not win, and he was beaten by the better fighter in Rolly Romero. I have stated this in some of my previous posts in regards to this fight? Ryan Garcia career has just entered into a new chapter, he can no longer rely in the media machine backing him, to amplify and embellish his performances. Garcia is going to have to genuinely and legitimately win top level fights if he wants to prove that he is a World level fighter' etc.

Let's GET ONE THING Right. I said he got LUCKY getting the fight. I did not say he was LUCKY IN THE MATCH.
