Lo respeto mucho ah Mancini, lo hubiera knokeado en los primeros rounds, ke creia le hiba ha durar mas que Mancini?❤🥶

Mancini as a champion was a cherry picker. As a contender he fought both Alexis Arguello and Jose Luis Ramirez and after he lost the title he fought both Camacho and Haugen. But as champion his resume was made up of a past his prime and much smaller Bobby Chacon, and the rest were a who's who of mediocrity, and this fight was no exception.

Romero, run out to gas, he did not have a plan vs Mancini who is a survivor, thats why he lost
