Former super lightweight world champion Rolando “Rolly” Romero (16-2, 13 KOs) earned a unanimous decision over Manuel Jaimes (16-2-1, 11 KOs) in their 10-round super lightweight attraction. Romero was victorious by the score of 99-91 according to all three judges.
In his first bout since losing his world title to Isaac Cruz in March, Romero showed improved movement and defense in keeping the aggressive Jaimes from putting his offense together effectively. Meanwhile, Romero was able to land sharp power punches on the inside that caught the judges’ attention and helped him secure the win.
"I needed a tough 10-round fight against someone hungry and that's what I got tonight,” said Romero. “I was doing a lot of stuff tonight that I should have done in my earlier fights.”
"The judges saw what they saw, I'd have to watch the tape to be able to score it myself,” said Jaimes. “I could have been more active, that would have helped me land more.”
Romero favored the power shots throughout
