I admit I missed the fight.. After finally viewing I'm surprised by the backlash.
Romero hurt Whitaker bad in the third round which obviously shot his chin the rest of the fight. That is a fact... But.. Can we be honest round 1 and 2 were 100% Whitaker.
Round three was competitive with a concussive shot from Romero.
Round four matters. Whitaker won 4 minutes 30 second of that round. He got wobbled but didn't go down and fought back.
Now round five... Would have easily been a 10 8 for Romero forcing a draw... IF, Romero didn't hug Whitaker for three minutes... Romero lost this fight byby truly doing nothing.
Not a robbery but a great fight. Romero is definitely a finish or lose fighter unfortunately.
P.s. watched the fight in Spanish and don't speak it so no commentary bias on either side.
