Lopez claims third world title after beating Romero, eyes Garcia/Benn or Paro

Teofimo Lopez edged Rolando Romero by majority decision to win the WBA 'Super' welterweight title, becoming a three-weight world champion. He controlled the fight with his jab, despite a cut above his right eye, and judges scored it 116-112 and 115-113 for Lopez, with one judge at 114-114. Post-fight, Lopez signaled aims to face the winner of Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn or pursue a unification with Liam Paro, effectively snubbing WBA Regular champion Jack Catterall for now.

Controversy Surrounds Rolly Romero's World Title Win Against Ismael Barroso

Rolando Romero wins the WBA junior welterweight title after a controversial stoppage by referee Tony Weeks in the ninth round against Ismael Barroso. Romero had been losing the fight and was down on unofficial scorecards. The stoppage was deemed bizarre and inexplicable, with both fighters throwing punches and nothing much landing. Romero now has his sights set on a rematch with Tank or a fight with Ryan Garcia.
