Rolly Romero Loses WBA Title to Teofimo Lopez in Las Vegas

Rolly Romero is no longer the WBA welterweight champion after Teofimo Lopez defeated him by majority decision Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Lopez controlled much of the 12-round fight with his jab, movement, and consistent offense, earning scorecards of 116-112 and 115-113, while one judge scored it a 114-114 draw. Romero had his moments, including hurting Lopez in the fifth round, but he struggled to maintain the momentum. With the win, Lopez becomes a three-division world champion and takes the WBA welterweight title from Romero.
