After Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero’s disappointing loss against Isaac Cruz, promoter Floyd Mayweather Jr. took to Instagram to send a message of support to his fighter. Mayweather did not explicitly mention whether he would continue to promote Romero or release him from his contract. Romero, who has been a project of Mayweather since he signed him to Mayweather Promotions, suffered a tough defeat in his maiden title defense. Despite this setback, Mayweather expressed pride in Romero for becoming a two-time world champion in less than 18 fights, without any amateur background, and with just 14 years of fighting experience.
Mayweather’s message highlighted the ups and downs of a fighter’s career and encouraged Romero to stay true to himself and acknowledge his accomplishments in the face of defeat.
With a record of 1-2 in his last three fights, Romero’s future in boxing remains uncertain. If Mayweather decides to part ways with Romero, financially he should be stable due to the earnings from his fights with Mayweather Promotions. However, if Mayweather chooses to continue promoting Romero, there are potential matchups that could revitalize his career. One option could be a fight against Devin Haney, pending a win against Ryan Garcia, which would generate significant interest and pay-per-view sales. Another potential opponent could be Regis Prograis, a former champion looking for a big fight opportunity after a loss to Haney.
Despite the recent setback, the future holds both reflection and opportunity for Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero. The defeat against Isaac Cruz may serve as a turning point in Romero’s career, prompting him to reevaluate his strategy and training. With the continued support of Floyd Mayweather Jr., Romero has the chance to bounce back from this loss and prove himself against top-tier opponents in the highly competitive light welterweight division. While uncertainty looms over his next move, Romero has the resilience and determination to overcome challenges and make a strong comeback in the boxing world.
