Comments Thread For: Romero: I Won The Fight No Problem; Hard To KO Somebody That Won't Engage At All

It would be better for him to be HUMBLE and give credit to Marinez

You talked about "Knocking Him Out Early" Marinez Out-Classed and gave you would should've been a humbling boxing lesson in which he would have to just go back to the Drawing Board and rebuild himself which still can be done because he only 24

Instead, he was GIVEN the Decision and now he thinks he is "Big Sh^t" and some new Star all of a sudden. Sure he is getting a lot of Attention at the Moment but none of it is good and even your Fellow Fighters are saying that was a Blatant Robbery and most of them are "On The Same Side Of The Street" your fellow PBC Fighters

So humble yourself Kid, get back in that Gym, let Mayweather teach you some F^cking Boxing Technique and Skills. Yes he has Power, true indeed and yes styles make fights so he might get in with another fighter and knock them the F^ck Out but we clearly know what will happen if...when you get in with another Boxer

Marinez deserves an immediate rematch! He was by far the better boxer...BY FAR! I was impressed with his style and skills and also showed a excellent chin and had no problems eating so of Rollies right Hands and was never in any serious trouble

Also Memo to young fighters, forgot just scoring Knockouts and worried about Knockout Streaks and Highlight Knockouts, instead work on your damn craft get some rounds in while you're fighting inferior opponents take that time to really prepare yourself vs all styles to be prepared for any and everything once you start fighting better competition that you won't be able to knockout

Yeah, you on it. No need for me to repeat your points (except to quote ya).

Don't want to get into the corruption in this sport. And how to fix it. Tires me the fcuk out, for real.

Saw a video review of this fight. It was funny as hell. Pure gold. During the first half, the guy prefaced the decision with a fawning op-ed about PBC matching its fighters tough. I was like, WTF, who would embarrass himself like that? would be willing to lose all credibility in public?

It seems the full fight is unavailable on YouTube in the US. So I switched to a VPN server in Sweden and watched it. I reckon some people at PBC are embarrased as well.

Marinez could do better against that romero than having close competitive rounds. I thought he was not loosing after 5 rds but I knew that judges would believe that he was... because Romero was supposed to win.

Lol na dude Floyd beat Pacquiao easy and Marinez did the same to Rolly money talks they are setting this kid up for a future payday based off of some dirty ass sparring he got famous for but he is not that good before the fight I admit I thought he had the power to possibly hurt Marinez but I also said Jackson was a good boxer who has a good lead right hand and he showed it plenty in this fight.

He cut him with a legal punch and Rolly looked like he didn't know what to do those last 3 rounds he looked lost missed most his punches and was eating a lot of jabs and right hands Marinez also was never hurt he took every punch Rolly had to offer and he also was clowning him throughout the fight. This reminded me of Campillo-Cloud except Rolly couldn't even faze Marinez one guy dominated the fight and the other guy won with a title at stake pathetic.

but he didnt really becuase pac landed the far better punches while floyd struggled to land cleanly. you can go through it round by round. the footage never changes so im still looking for someone to explain how floyd easily won when he was getting his hand snapped back over and over while he usually only mustered a handful of grazing jabs. watching it live maybe you thought floyd was landing more? i could understand that but looking back at the footage he just couldnt get much going. it was slow paced but pac was winning since he was landing the much better punches.

watch round 7 for example. a round all 3 judges gave to floyd..based on what? he landed zero power punches in that round. zero. he landed one nice counter jab that knocked pacs head back, another mediocre jab, and one of those stick out your glove and basically touch pacs head left hands which can hardly be constituted as a punch and pretty sure its not in the rules. pac meanwhile smashed floyds head around with 3 hard jabs, landed a huge left hand counter on his chin, a huge left to the body that forced floyd to hold on for dear life, and another left to the body. then they both landed 4-5 little grazing taps that arent worth much if anything since its clean punching not grazing punching but yeah giving that round to floyd makes zero sense unless you pretend he's landing punches hes not or that his punches that are clearly no where near as clean as pacs are and even if you do that pac still landed more clean solid shots so yeah i dont get it.

if you do that for every round and are honest you will have pac as the winner without a doubt. if you just pretend sticking your arm out and pushing your opponents head is the same as a clean punch or some other made up nonsense then sure you can find a way floyd won. some people really wanted floyd to win and so they still pretend it was a schooling or dominant boxing lesson in floyds favor but once again the footage says otherwise

[daggum]

I can't believe there are still people like this out there, Floyd beat Pacquiao, get over it.

yeah its so crazy to think the guy landing the clean punches should win a fight! get over it! you said pac would knock him out and he dindt therefore floyd wins with his air jabs!

Yes it's hard to do anything offensively if only one person wants to fight.
If one fighter is overly defensive you could assume he's hurt and trying to survive, so the round should go to the one making the fight.
You have a right to be overly defensive if your hurt, trying to survive the round.
But you forfeit round.
Similar to Floyd v pac. Pac w on fight

That’s an oversimplification, one fighter may wish to box rather than fight and be overtly defensive and rely on their skill set to pot shot rather then trade and it have nothing to do with being hurt or not.
If a fighter is being defensive but still landing scoring shots the judges job is to score the punches landed, not to assume anything.
I’m a massive gatti fan but i respect all styles, I understand rewarding effective aggression in an otherwise level round but not giving a fighter a round because they’re trying to force the fight if they’re being picked off while unsuccessfully trying to impose themselves

Manny fans dont understand boxing, they automatically relate it all to a fight, its only after they have actually boxed at least 3-6 round level do they gain an appreciation for the top pros and the different skills and execution in winning contests.

It is why the biggest haters have never boxed a round, how many times do you hear coming out of a fighter or trainers mouth " hit and not be hit" it is the holy grail and the art of professional boxing, the likes of Hugh Grant and Daggum have never boxed they armchair experts and its so obvious.

I thought it was a good fight. It was very close early on but I thought Jackson Marinez edged it; Especially in the later rounds with his ring generalship, jab and by landing the cleaner counter punches as Romero was coming in.

I tip my hat to both men on displaying such a tremendous and spirited effort. I know that Romero was the aggressor for much of the fight but in my judgement, I had Marinez winning a close but very clear decision.

Yeah the Pac-Floyd fight wasn’t even close...

Arguments usually sound like “Mayweather landed 3 pillow soft jabs with memory foam gloves with cooling gel.”

But Pac’s punches will be described as “Pacquiao landed one punch and did way more damage. He landed an earth shattering, bone crushing jab to the face of Floyd. Legend has it Floyd STILL suffers from blurry vision.”

Get over it guys. We all wanted Pac to win except a few. But no one was foolish enough to actually believe he could. You could argue he did even worse than Canelo... It happens. Styles make fights and we all knew Pac couldnt deal with elite counter punching and timing.


As for THIS fight, they barely even looked like they were in the same class imo. Romero looked like a brute half the time and Marinez looked significantly more polished. Some of the rounds could have been a little close but the difference in class seemed almost impossible to pick Romero even via robbery. To me, this was one of the more blatant robberies. It’s pretty disgusting.

Worse still is this kid actually thinking the other guy wasnt engaging. He threw more punches in almost every round and out landed him in every category. Maybe I saw a diff fight but this one didnt seem competitive going by their skillset.

A very erislandy'esque performance by ramirez.

this rolly guy is a fcking joke.

This is the correct answer. AKA *NOT* a robbery.
