Rolly Romero is already losing control in training for Teofimo Lopez

Rolly Romero has started training for his big fight with Teofimo Lopez but is really going wild in the gym already.

Romero has exhibited some concerning statements and behaviors in recent years away from boxing.

Despite having his biggest win to date last year when he defeated Ryan Garcia on unanimous points decision at welterweight.

Per the above photo above he was sparring with a partner in training and decided to do a body slam of him mid spar.

One of the craziest things maybe caught on footage in sparring of a high level professional boxer this year.

His sparring partner had shouldered him in the chin however in a clinch moment before the above.

Which prompted Romero to snap and slam him onto the canvas mid spar.

He then proceeded to ground and pound the sparring partner in an almost MMA (mixed martial arts) moment in the boxing spar.

It was broken up briefly then and the spar took a break.

It shows Romero is on edge a bit at the moment to say the least ahead of the Teofimo Lopez fight on August 22nd in Las Vegas.

A fight he comes into with a little ring rust as well but he needs to keep his cool and stay calm in training.

He is training with emotion and this is not optimal to the performance of a high level professional boxer.

You can tell Rolly Romero is feeling the heat with the fight with Lopez but if comes into that well trained, Lopez is on the slide and Romero should win.

Who knows what will happen between now and then in the training of both Romero and Lopez but stay tuned.

Teofimo Lopez is a bit all over the place coming into the fight as well.

He suffered a huge defeat to Shakur Stevenson on points earlier this year.
