Win Methods
At #5 in the welterweight rankings, Rolando Romero — "Rolly" to fight fans — is past the "prospect" stage. This is contender territory, and every fight from here is a title eliminator in disguise.
The style is simple and terrifying: 76% of his wins never reach the scorecards. When he touches people, they fall — 13 knockouts and counting.
Most recent outing: a win over Ryan Garcia via decision (unanimous). Business handled.
