Image: "No Money" to PPV King? Rolando Romero's Thoughts on Garcia, Belts, and a Haney Insult

Rolando “Rolly” Romero says he has come in now “Bracket PPV” Winning the “ordinary” title of WBA Wawetreight with his victory over Ryan Garcia last Friday evening in Fresh York. Romero (17-3, 13 KO) emphasizes that he was his third time at the head of the Pay-Per-View card, and he passed from being a warrior “without money” to earn “a lot of money in one fight.”

You can definitely say that Rolly is now a warrior on demand, perhaps the biggest star in the 147 pounds ward among world champions. While the IBF and WBA WBA champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis may be the most technically talented of the owners of the belt in the division, Rolly is perhaps a bigger star because of his commercial charm.

Romero is much more amusing outside the ring with her charisma and the angle of comedy. Ennis is ailing in interviews and it seems that it is a broken record, he got stuck in the phrase, “When I have fun.“I’m going to a mental if I hear this sentence again.

PPV bracket

“I am in PPV brackets. I am at the top. I did three PPV now. I owed the three pay-per-view to conquer, because me and Pitbull were double,” said Rolando “Rolly” Romero to Romero to Danza project. “In one fight I did not skip any money for a lot of money. I want to fight best. Everyone wants to lean.

“It was arduous to hit him on the body because he did not want to get involved,” Ryan said Ryan. “It is arduous to knock out people who do not try to get involved, because if he left and tried to get involved in the fight, he would be knocked out by frosty. He doesn’t mind.”

Ryan completely ended the crime after Romero dropped him in the second round and never dared to open. This knocking down was so much that he simply surrendered to him without a fight. It was a indigent way to surrender. You can only imagine how it would have Ryan in the same platoon during the war in conditions on the battlefield – saying and waving the white flag of surrender when it was challenging to happen.

“I thought it ended, but two seconds later I realized,” This guy would still be there, “said Rolly, when asked about his thoughts when he dropped Ryan Garcia in the second round last Friday. “So I thought I would finally hit him with the same shot [left hook]But he never quit the same shot again. So I thought, “Okay.”

Rolly could still knock out a garcia if he did these things:

He pressed the attack: Rolly could exert more pressure after dropping Ryan and kept it as part of the attack without a break. Instead, Romero did the opposite, hanging back, fighting uncertainly and throwing only one blow at once.
Increased volume of impact: Throwing more blows would lead to when Romero destroyed the pot during the first six rounds. He didn’t do it. Rolly spent the last 10 rounds charging on individual arrows, making a lot of noise, but not focusing on the volume. It can be said that he was afraid that he was cut by one of the left hooks of Ryan.
More focused on arrows: The left hook rolly dropped Kingry in the second round, showed that he was susceptible to his head. Surprisingly, he did not employ it, throwing more on his head. A lot of Jabs Rolly threw Garcia in the torso in the second half of the fight.
Actions taken inwards: Romero should have forced the action inward to pass by the stiff stab of Garcia, and then made it with hooks and mountains to the head. Ryan needs space to cast his compact left hook. He would not be able to do it if Romero remained on his chest, suffocating the main weapon and hammering him. Again, fear was the reason why Rolly did not.

Haney History

“When I had a championship belt at the age of 135, he [Devin Haney] I tried to fight between me and him, “said Romero about Devin Haney’s attempt to negotiate with him when he was still airy.” He wanted $ 8 million, and I got $ 100,000. So “Oh, I called the roll. I sent him a contract. Did he really send me a contract? ** For money.

Rolly will inform fans about Haney’s arrogance when he was still at the age of 135, trying to call him with the role of Challenger in his transitional WBA belt.

Janibek Alimkhanuly Shifts Perspective on Hamzah Sheeraz: A New Dynamic in Boxing

"Janibek Alimkhanuly Shifts Perspective on Hamzah Sheeraz: A New Dynamic in Boxing"

Janibek Alimkhanuly spent months trying to get Hamzah Sheeraz into the ring. Now that Sheeraz has vacated his WBO super middleweight title, Janibek is asking fans to stop saying the former champion ran from him. That is generous. It also leaves Janibek with less to say about a fight he wanted badly.

He’s not afraid of me. He didn’t run from me. He made his decision based on his own plans. He has his own goals! He’s my brother, and I ask everyone to stop saying he ran from me. He’s a great fighter, and I have nothing but respect for him! @sheeraz_hamzah 🫂 pic.twitter.com/uxZlegqSmH

— Janibek Alimkhanuly (@qazaqstyle) September 26, 2026

Janibek’s tone has changed since the purse bid. He was eager to fight, said money was not his priority, and publicly pushed Sheeraz to accept. Queensberry then bid $1,001,809 to stage the ordered defense, beating Top Rank’s $820,000 offer. Sheeraz’s 75 percent share would have been roughly $751,000. Days later, he gave up the belt.

That sequence deserves a closer look. Queensberry put a serious number on the fight, so the bid itself cannot be dismissed as proof that nobody valued it. But winning the right to promote a title defense means little to fans when the champion vacates before it happens.

Sheeraz has objected to Janibek receiving a mandatory shot after his failed drug test. He is entitled to explain that position. Fans are equally entitled to ask why the issue reached a purse bid before he surrendered the title. Janibek’s post supplies no answer.

Perhaps Janibek sees no benefit in branding Sheeraz a coward. Doing so would also make the opponent he chased sound less valuable. Calling Sheeraz a great fighter preserves the idea that this was an important contest, even after the belt and the fight slipped away.

The respect between them may be sincere. Janibek still gets no Sheeraz fight, and Sheeraz no longer has to defend his title against Janibek. A friendly photo does not change either result.
