Will Rolando Romero Defend His Title Against Legend?

Possible fight with a legend?

“You know, it must be a blessing when legends are calling you out,” Romero said. “If a legend is asking to make a fight with you, that says something. And it’s not only because of the belt, it’s because I can sell the fight, too, and I’m on par with who he is. That speaks highly of how much potential I truly have.”

Romero attended Manny Pacquiao’s return bout at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, where the 46 year old Hall of Famer fought Mario Barrios to a majority draw. Romero like many in attendance  felt Pacquiao deserved the win.

“A legend is going to be a legend,” he said of Pacquiao’s performance, which came just a month after his International Boxing Hall of Fame induction. “It was a close fight, regardless  not to take anything away from Mario Barrios. But I personally saw Pacquiao winning. A lot of people had Pacquiao winning. Barrios only clearly won the last three rounds. I feel like Pacquiao was winning the others, stealing some of them with these bursting moments to close rounds.”
