    That's it! there's zero ambiguity, there's no counter argument as to why it should have been stopped. If some authority doesn't step in this may well wreck Nevada boxing for years.

    Corruption everywhere but the phrase you have to win via KO to come away with a draw is actually a thing with PBC. They won't just rob you blind in broad daylight they won't even try to hide it.

    Remember when one of their judges scored Jermallo vs Korobov 119-108 for Jermallo when Korobov not only deserved to win but he clearly swept the first 6 or 7 rounds and was lighting Jermallo up with clean eye-catching head jolting backhands all throughout those rounds? :facepalm:

    Yes. Weeks needs to be investigated.

    I don't see Romero beating any of the fighters currently ranked in the top 10 at 140, even Puello would have made him look silly with his movement and counter punching and the top 5 all beat him up. He's completely reliant on his strength and roughhousing so at this weight he's a lot less effective

    Rolly won it fair and square. He was raining bombs on Barroso and Barroso couldn't respond. He was probably happy that the ref ended the fight.

    And Weeks is one of the most respected and fair refs in the world. I don't what you guys are complaining about. Did you all bet on Barroso's win or sth?

    Barroso was the only one that landed in the exchange that ended the fight.

    So does Barroso's real age. That's a hard 40.

    There is no way in hell he's 40. I've seen 50 and even 60 year olds who don't look that bad. Unless dude just has some of the worst genes ever combined with heavy drug/alcohol abuse or something.

    As for the fight, that was one of the most obvious fixes. Weeks jumped in when Barroso wasn't even hurt. He hadn't taken a knee, wasn't wobbled, didn't have any major swelling, nothing. In fact, he dodged some of the punches during Rolly's flurry. Weeks jumped in there the instant Barroso got backed into the ropes and tried to make it look convincing. They need to investigate everyone involved. Rolly is a manufactured fraud as far as I'm concerned.

    You don't have to land with Foster but you do need to shoe shine. He wouldn't stop this fight and he the most trigger happy

    Nah it wasn't fair at all. The ref Weeks should get all the credit for Rolly capturing a title tonite.

    Poor Rolly. The things he's going to remembered for...knocked out by Tank and this atrocious decision.

    He and his team had no control over what happened today, but it's the worst stoppage I've seen in decades.

    Worst stoppage I have ever seen and its not even close.

    How do you defend it as Tony weeks? If you're a judge you can always come up with some excuse to defend a corrupt card. How can you defend this? Rolly didnt land anything, the last punch that landed before the stoppage was a big right by Barroso
