Via Dan Ambrose: Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero’s Bullet Cromwell coach says he considers Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney as examples of boxers who have played it safe with their careers.
Bullett felt that Rolly and Canelo Alvarez were boxers unable to defend their careers.
He said that Rolly (14-1, 12 KOs) recently challenged for a world title against ‘regular’ WBA lightweight champion Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis in his fifteenth bout.
In Rolly’s case, he paid the price by getting ahead of Tank by stopping in game six.
Bullett was also impressed with how Canelo put up a risky fight with WBA heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol with the aim of pleasing his fans.
“When you have someone fighting you like Teofimo Lopez or Rolly, it’s not easy. Pipeline burst pressure“Rolly’s Bullet Cromwell Trainer said to Against TV Hub. “We know him [Ryan Garcia] will defeat Fortuna. We knew he was going to beat Campbell.
“I want to see these people fighting people the world didn’t know they were going to win. Like when Teofimo fought Loma. A two-time gold medalist. He went there and jumped out of the gym to jump and get the belt.
“That’s what you want to see in boxing. Rolly vs. A guy with 15 fights [Rolly] fight a three division world champion with 26 matches without losing.
“Canelo jumped out of the gym to fight Bivol to please everyone. It is the people in boxing that make up the sport. Not the guys playing it safe, protect their Umbrellas.
“They want to be Pretty Boy Floyd. They could never be Floyd. Floyd is a completely different element. There will never be another Floyd.
“I gave Shakur a safe play. Who did he fight with? Nobody. Devin Haney, Kambosos rematch. Really? Why did you go back in that direction? You unanimously beat him in his backyard.
“If it was a divisive decision, that would have been different. Devin will do the same to him. Maybe even worse. Devin can hit a powerful shot and finish him off.
“If Kambosos can’t change in a few months, which many can’t, we know that Devin will dominate. He also plays it safe,” said Bullet.
