Of course. Of course. I'm not joking. Not only did Rolly win the fight and take home a secondary title, but his unexpected victory over Ryan Garcia also greatly boosted his career going ahead (17-2, 13 KO).
Even though Romero is only 29 years old, it seemed like we had seen all he had to offer. Like Garcia, he is a boxer whose career was meticulously steered by others, resulting in his earning a subsidiary title at 135 pounds and a somewhat legitimate title at 140. There was often dispute, even in his more prominent victories.
After he lost by TKO to Gervonta "Tank" Davis, and then to Barroso's dubious victory and then to Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz via TKO, it appeared that Rolly's reputation as a trash talker who could attract attention to his bouts would be the only thing left. However, PBC managed to get him to a pay-per-view main event.
However, he receives a secondary belt at 147 lbs. for defeating Garcia. You can now officially refer to Rolly as a three-division world champion if you so like. Because elite welterweights would love to challenge him, he will have options.
Did he truly get better on Saturday? We'll find out in time. Garcia was terrible in his bout; he just appeared uninterested and lifeless.
