It seems that just when Rolando "Rolly" Romero’s (15-1, 13KO) career is about to take off, something comes along to spoil the party – opponents not hitting the weight or pulling-out at the last minute, legal problems – but the latest hurdle he has to overcome tonight may be his most difficult yet.
It arrives in the form of Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz (25-2-1, 17KO).
The Mexican is on a three-fight winning streak after his loss to Gervonta Davis (a tight contest for the WBA Lightweight title in a fight he took when original contender, Romero, was dealing with subsequently unfiled harassment allegations) and has looked good on the comeback trail.
Cruz speaks little English and so Romero has had the pre-fight trash talk field to himself (notably calling Cruz a "fat pug" to his face in the press conference) but there is a menacing determination about the 25 year old challenger that suggests he is not leaving Vegas without Romero’s WBA super-lightweight title.
We will soon see what the champ has to say about that in his first defense but an all-action battle is guaranteed. Read on to find out where to catch the Romero-Cruz fight online tonight from anywhere...
