Shakur Stevenson sums up Rolly Romero after losing his world title to Teofimo Lopez
Lopez says his DAZN deal points to three straight unification fights and no mandatory defense as he pursues every welterweight title.
- On Saturday night, Teofimo Lopez dethroned Rolando Romero by majority decision at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to capture the WBA welterweight title, marking a successful 147-pound debut.
- Despite sharing a decade of history sparring in Las Vegas, Romero disputed the outcome, claiming he outboxed the Olympian and deserved a rematch after losing his WBA title.
- Official scorecards were 116-112, 115-113, and 114-114, reflecting a competitive fight where Lopez overcame a fifth-round cut and wobble to secure the victory.
- Rejecting calls for an immediate rematch, Lopez revealed he is targeting the winner of the September 12 bout between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn, alongside potential unifications with Liam Paro and Devin Haney.
- Lopez plans three consecutive unification bouts with DAZN to reach undisputed status without mandatory defenses, though the strategy requires approval from boxing organizations and may sideline other ranked contenders.
