Alfonso Zamora vs Danny Romero

My God what a fight! A 2 sided war...a shootout that might make people forget that 1st round of Hagler-Hearns...and this one goes on for 2...3 rounds. By round 4 Zamora breaks through with the kind of artillery that destroyed Pedroza...and out like a light a very proud warrior Danny Romero goes...struggling to pull himself up by using the ropes...only he doesn't make it in time.

 

Zamora. Brutal KO, brutal fight.

 

Hmmmm I need to watch some Romero! Any suggestions on what fights are a good place to start? Embarrassed that I am to ill informed to give an opinion.

 

Tapia, I guess. Tho Tapia beat him pretty conclusively IMO. Great bout.

 

thanks I just started with his 5th pro fight and have about 8 more to check out this week!

 

I have seen that one but did not score it. I will when I go through the rest of the Romero fights I have on tap. I did think Tapia won....but that is useless without a card. 7-5/8-4 from the judges also support your side.

here I am leaning towards Zamora but I need to watch some more Romero before I am comfortable saying that.

 

Danny Romero the best I faced

I just rewatched and scored this fight and also had it 7-5, although 8-4 Tapia like 2 of the judges and Ledderman are fair as well imo. I think the main reason people remember it wide is “commentary” it influences people more than they want to admit. Ledderman having it 116-112 was fine him saying it was not even close sticks in people’s minds. Tapia was flashier and won his rounds a little more comfortably might add to that illusion. I do think both guys fought well but that Tapia was in control and not in danger pretty much throughout even in rounds 5-8 which I scored for Romero.

 

Got a pick yet @PhillyPhan69? I'm very interested in your response after all the scoring you've done.

 

getting close. Got a few more I want to check out. Really wished I could find Zamora’s 2nd fight Soo Hong Hwan where he scores a 12th rd KO in a close fight (by the judges) just to get a better feel for his late round power and how he adapts. Zarate stops him to soon and he steamrolls most everyone else. I think Romero is much more than just a live dog...I think it’s a very close fight that he could win...just not sure if that Is pick it? Yet?
