Comments Thread For: Romero: They're Terrified Of Me; That's Why Top Lightweights Never Mention Me

[factsarenice]

Imagine the kind of cowards these world class fighters are for not talking about an 11 fight novice whos fought nobody, nobodys heard of, and nobody cares about.The sheer arrogance of it..

That's too funny.

Romero obviously has big power, but dude is pretty sloppy and out of control. Has some Mayorga to him but it works in his favor. If you can't handle his physicality, he's going to be an absolute nightmare to face. Teofimo is a good friend of his but even he told Romero they could no longer spar since Romero is too rough and dirty and he will injure him before his actual fight LOL.

I don't know if Rolly had delusions of grandeur before he signed with Mayweather but he certainly does now. According to Rolly, even though he has accomplished nothing that would put him on any top lightweight's radar, he is the "boogeyman" of the division who people avoid like the plague.
Sorry Rolly, I think people need to know who you are before you can accuse them of avoiding you. Get some half decent wins and then talk about the top fighters. You are nowhere near that right now.
Hopefully for his sake, he doesn't get torched before he gets that opportunity because he will have zero credibility if that happens after making such boastful, unsubstantiated claims.

Well if he was really using his elbows during sparring, I wouldn't spar him either. That kind of dirty Mayweather-esque crap has no place in legit pro boxing. Anyone can hit someone with an elbow and do damage. You don't need to train hard or gain any legitimate skill to hit someone with an elbow in a sport where elbows are illegal. I'm sure Rolly got dirty with Lopez because he couldn't hang with him without being dirty.

He is creating his own hype. Nothing wrong with that. He needs to back it up and so far so good.

WTF are you talking about? What has he backed up? He hasn't beat anyone even close to being contender status, let alone legitimate title holders. Even Ryan Garcia, with all his talk about getting paid more from social media than boxing, isn't as deluded as Rolly. At least he's fought decent competition. He has more of a right to trash talk than Rolly even though he hasn't proved his ability to compete with the best until he beats Luke Campbell.
Rolly is a sh_it talker who is just blowing smoke. He's going to look pretty ****** if he loses before getting an opportunity to fight the top LWs.

Rolando Romero is a 11 fight professional who is undefeated, and has power. His claiming that other fighters are scared of him, might be true about some fighters. The reality is that the top fighters in his division are concentrating on other top fighters in the division. when Rolando has about 15-20, fights then the top fighters will start to pay attention. This exaggerated bravado may sound good, or sell more tickets but that's all for right now. He's called out Joseph Adorno recently, I don't know if he can even beat this 15 fight undefeated professional. Even though Joseph is another arrogant fighter, I think Joseph Adorno would win.

hes a rolly retaardo type of fella, thick as two planks of wood

If that's an accurate statement that Teofimo Lopez wont spar with Rolando Romero because he's too rough, and dirty.
Then Rolando is either a fool, or has psychological problems and the reasons for me saying that are the following :
1. He'll find fewer sparring partners, because sparring is part of his training to perfect strategies, defense, and offense, etc.
2. Boxers don't want to get injured in sparring, an injury which can give a future opponent a advantage, cause a postponement,
cancellation, and in some rare cases end a career, or lead to death.
3. Their are also spies, or disgruntled members of the gym who'll report what they've observed to the future opponents camp.
4. He might find himself sparring with heavier, taller, and faster fighters, who can deal with his wild style of sparring.
5. His sparring wars will eventually catch up with him, it's happened to many Philly Fighters.
6. Someone said that he has some Ricardo Mayorga in him, look at Mayorga now, he's been beaten up in the street in Nicaragua,
now he's in a rehab. Life is no joke, and boxing is deadly serious it's wise to respect all your opponents, spar/fight fair.

yeah sometimes unknown things can be terrifying

Boxingscene, specifically by the way of IDEC are becoming one big crappy infomercial for Mayweather promotions underwhelming group of fighters. No one cares about Rolly head, and certainly no boxers are terrified of him SMH.
