    Just been reading up on this guy, and watched one of his fights on Youtube. He looks like a really good technician.

    @ 115, I'd rank him in the top 5 alongside Watanabe, Moon, Konadu, and Galaxy. Tapia might crack the list as well. I'll go into a bit more depth later.

    Roman was one of the greater Mexican fighters of recent decades.An excellent boxer and solid puncher with great movement.

    he maybe didn't really do anything notably great technically and wasn't among the most physically gifted of the top mexicans, but i wouldn't say he had any real weaknesses either.

    Very solid technical boxer with a big punch.

    Reminds me of Ken Buchanan. Good jab and moveemnt and largely kept the fight in the centre of the ring.
