tank picks this guy out of nowhere, he loses, then there is that shocking robbery of barroso, he gets stopped next fight, he then somehow ends up as wba champ, the mind boggles

Rolly might lose that fight.
He also might win it. Neither of them are any good.

I have an indecent* amount of hate for Rolando. He’s absolutely arse in terms of boxing and robbed Ismael Barroso, which remains the most shocking decision made by a referee ever. I so want to live until someone beats Rolly’s face so long, that it actually falls off.
* indecent only because I would like to see him hung, drawn and quartered.

This entire situation is farcical, and yet another example of the massive accommodations made for US fighters. Bear in mind, Romero only has this belt because the WBA broke their own commitment to eliminate ‘regular’ titles and sanctioned a fight between him and Garcia for their ‘vacant’ welterweight title, despite neither ever having fought at the weight class. This inserted another titleholder between WBA #1 Giyasov and the actual champion at the time Ennis. When Ennis moved up, Romero became the full titleholder by default, a position he is now leveraging for undeserved bigger paydays.
The WBA will no doubt find a fudge rather than simply strip Romero.
