One thought on “Romero vs Barroso

  • One of the WORST stoppages in boxing history. Tony Weeks what were you thinking in stopping the fight?
    Just because the guy has an old looking face, did not mean he was tired or tire, Rolly was breathing harder than Barroso. I smell something stinky in this stoppage…
