Rolly Romero has always had moments of off the wall comments and he has not changed a bit ahead of his latest fight with Teofimo Lopez.
Rolando Rolly Romero became a welterweight champion of the world last year when he outpointed Ryan Garcia.
In an upset win at the time that shook up the world. But he hasn’t boxed since and is only now getting back in the ring this summer.
Taking on another fellow US boxing big name in former multi-weight division Teofimo Lopez from New York.
Ahead of the fight Romero has claimed that in his last bout — Ryan Garcia was scared of him.
He claimed that Garcia could not box or fight with him and the one time he did try to fight with him he got countered.
That is a bit of an exaggeration.

An American boxer who is tough and can punch but the Ryan Garcia of old would have beaten him.
