Yoel Romero looking BIG

Romero lost his last fights and looked like shit against a guy who didn't fight for 4 years? lol

That weight cut no longer killing him and the surgery to fix his orbital makes him look like a completely different person tbh. Man is looking THICK, SOLID and TIGHT so I got money on him beating Rumble.
The photoshop guy who did the poster likely scaled him up a bit judging by head size
 
A lot of questions to be answered in this fight. Rumble has been out a long time and didn't look good in his grappling match against Bader a few months back. Yoel hasn't been at 205lbs in a long time but did get KO'd there before. Guess we will see if Rumble can KO him before Yoel takes him down.

What Yoel does wrestling wise is probably the biggest unknown I'd say, not something he's looked to do much of in recent years but Rumble's weakness on his back is so clear I think it would be a mistake not to try and exploit it at all.

Cardio I spose is also a big issue, Romero at MW was basically always in cardio preservation mode and you could argue all of his loses stem from that so is LHW and a much smaller cut going to make him more aggressive?

I would worry Yoel's typical standup tactics will play into Rumble's reach advantage, he'll be able to throw his big punches from outside Yoel's reach.
 
This could be fireworks or a snooze fest. Either way I’m ready to see it. I wish Romero would have abandoned the weight cut years ago.
