It was something. When you have a mouthy reputation and get humbled by going 1-2 over your last three fights, you take any crumb you can snatch.
That is what was facing Rolando Romero, who many thought his career was on life support after being crushed for the second time in his career, when he was stopped in eight rounds by Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz back in March.
So, the first in many little steps back came Saturday night for “Rolly,” when he took on Manuel Jaimes in a 10-round junior welterweight bout on the Canelo Alvarez-Edgar Berlanga from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night opening the PBC on Prime pay-per-view card.
Romero came out with a fairly dominant 10-round, unanimous junior welterweight decision over Jaimes, winning by agreed scores of 99-91 across the board from judges Tim Cheatham, Patricia Morse Jarman and Steve Weisfeld.
