Rolando Romero vs Manuel Jaimes Highlights, Canelo Berlanga Undercard
Rolly Romero bounced back from defeat tonight, returning to action with a 10round unanimous decision win over Manuel Jaimes to kick off the Canelo vs Berlanga payperview card in Las Vegas. Romero (162, 13 KO) took the fight on scores of 9991 from all three judges, never facing any serious pushback from Jaimes (1621, 11 KO), who was seen as a live dog coming into the fight but never much fought like one. Jaimes, 24, was stepping up in level a bit and certainly in spotlight against the 28yearold Romero, who still manages to draw massive attention as one of boxings modern villains, a guy people will pay to see even if theyre paying to see him lose. Romero arguably showed a bit of improvement in this fight, at least a bit more defensively responsible, but it was also a fairly dull affair where nobody really took too much initiative or stepped on the gas, other than Romero fighting a bit harder in the eighth round than he had for much of the rest of the bout.
