Promoter Oscar De La Hoya posted a video on social media, gleefully roasting Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero after his crushing, doubtlessly career-destroying defeat towards Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz final Saturday night time on the T-Cell Area in Las Vegas.
Golden Boy CEO De la Hoya’s message to the dethroned WBA gentle welterweight champion Rolly (15-2, 13 KOs) is that he must concentrate on his opponents, not on flapping his gums about him.
A Lesson in “Shut Up and Struggle”
Oscar took difficulty with among the issues Rolly had stated about him within the build-up to his combat towards Cruz (26-2-1, 18 KOs), and he wished to verify he lashed him again in his second of agony after his wipeout defeat.
The defeat was Rolly’s second in his final three fights and arguably his third consecutive in the event you depend his controversial victory over Ismael Barroso as a loss as nicely. It’s honest to say that Rolly could possibly be completed as a money-maker for his promoters at Mayweather Promotions, and it gained’t be stunning in the event that they lower him free.
From High Billing to the Discount Bin
Even when they maintain Rolly on the payroll, his future fights will probably be buried on undercards, and nowhere close to the headliner or co-feature spots, he’d beforehand loved.
If Floyd Mayweather Jr. retains Rolly round for old-time’s sake, he should subsidize his profession as a result of his probabilities of success towards anybody at 140 are slim. It could be wiser for Floyd to indicate Rolly some robust love and provides him the boot, wishing him nicely for wherever he does subsequent.
Who is aware of? Maybe British promoter Eddie Hearn want to salvage Rolly for his Matchroom Boxing firm and use him as an opponent for one in every of his youthful fighters. One factor is evident: Floyd can’t proceed to maintain Rolly round as a result of he’s gotten him so far as he can together with his assist.
“Rolly, you dumb a**, getting knocked out. Focus in your opponent as an alternative of specializing in me,” stated promoter Oscar De La Hoya on social media, having fun with the beautiful pleasure of kicking Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero whereas he was down within the aftermath of his humiliating eighth-round TKO loss to challenger Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz final Saturday night time in Las Vegas.
“All different fighters, study from Rolly. Don’t speak s*** about promoters. There’s solely three of us on this planet,” stated De La Hoya.
