As much as I like Romero's power...

...It's kinda unprofessional to sign up for 5 round fights when your cardio is so non-existant that you begin the actual fighting in round 3.

I mean, when he did start to throw the fight got very interesting fast, and that's just the thing. Talk about giving the fight away when doing absolutely nothing in the first two.

Of course being over 40 can play a part in this, but still.

Yoel sets traps with that slow pace into an explosion, that’s why so many late knock downs.

Unprofessional? Get out of here.

He is built for and has had great success using 2 1/2 of rounds of energy. Its not his fault championship fights are 5 rounds after all his others were 3. You fight the best way to win and for Yoel it appears tbat way is to rest for 2 rounds then seek a finish for the rest of the fight.

Most people thought he won the fight and had a 10-8 in round 5. His cardio is fine for the way he fights.

Last time he won the first two, lost the last 3, lost the decision.

This time he lost the first two, won the last three, lost the decision. What do you want from him?

? You think Yoel won the fight and 10-8 in the fifth? Really?
Seems like a watched a completely different fight. Maybe I will watch it again today but I had it very very clear for Whitaker.

Fair enough but understand that you and the judges are in the minority, based on people who have given their scores.

Uhm... Did Romero clearly win the 4th round in your eyes? Because to me he didn't...

That's weak to act like the guy gives fuck all about increasing his gas tank. Just admit that's his one big weakness, and aknowledge how unstoppable he would be if working a bit on it.
