Boxing You be judge: Was Rolando Romero-Ismael Barroso stoppage warranted?
The Rolando Romero-Ismael Barroso 140-pound title fight Saturday in Las Vegas ended in controversy.
Barroso didn’t appear to be significant trouble yet referee Tony Weeks stopped the fight in the ninth round. The Venezuelan was leading on all three cards at the time.
Was it a horrible stoppage? You be the judge.
WOW 👀
