As I was watching the welterweight title bout on Saturday night between Rolly Romero and Teofimo Lopez, which was eventually won by Lopez, someone came to my mind -- Oba Carr. Remember him? The one time Kronk prodigy was a welterweight contender from the 90’s.
He had to be disgusted by what he witnessed (that is if he forked out $80 to even watch this mediocre affair.)
The reason his name popped up was that coming into the weekend the welterweight titlists were: Devin Haney (WBO), Ryan Garcia (WBC), Liam Paro (IBF) and now Lopez, who out-pointed Romero over 12 largely uneventful rounds. But truth be told, his wins to capture the lightweight titles (against Richard Commey, and then Vasiliy Lomachenko) and the junior welterweight crowns (versus Josh Taylor) were far more impressive in nature.
This fight could be summed up like this: one guy did little, and the other guy was happy for it.
