Romeo Romaeo

Post by cutsman »

The more I see of this kid the more I like him. OK he jumps in a bit much but he does show glimpses of brilliance.

Lets not forget he is only 18. Potentially a great talent IMO. What do you think?

He's got no power, he leaves his chin in the air and he's up his own bottom

I like the way he's taken the best bits of Naseem Hamed & the best bits of Floyd Mayweather, and is incorporating them into the complete package you now see.

Looks nice, but unreliable to go anywhere.

The way he teased his first opponent when the guy was on the floor having a epileptic fit is a disgrace.

Looks like this was against Andrejs Podusovs? If I am correct how has this lad been able to box again (3 fights this year) if it was indeed a fit ?

He's a video of him losing in one of his last amateur fights and the guy who beat him has gone pro now and is trying for the fight but romeo and his team don't want to know.

Don't think it was a fit, he did collapse though. Should have been a no contest to be honest, how can you call it a knock out when no punch is landed?

Young kid. Young ,dumb & full off cum.
Looks to be a strong kid but no defence whatsoever!!

I wouldn't say Naz & most on here don't remember earlier then him & he's more a Jorge paez but at the same time no way near. He's 18 & needs & will improve. Just needs to get away from tunde who's just a clueless mayweather fan

Don't usually like being negative, especially so early on in careers but i thought he looked awful. Never seen someone leap in so much and push away with is forearms. Hope he improves.

I met him a couple of weeks ago, he was very polite and quite humble.
Clearly his in ring persona is a bit of an act.

Don't rate him particularly. Punch accuracy seems poor, little power (though he is 18 to be fair), and defence pretty grim. I can see him getting quite badly exposed as he steps up in class.

But that said, he strikes me as someone just craving attention for as long as the going is good.

It'll probably help him negotiate a higher appearance fee on Celebrity Big Brother in a few years time.

To be fair I dont think the kid knew what was happening and probably thought it was a genuine knockdown, and yes it is distasteful, but the template for this kind of nonsense goes back a long way-Wilfredo Benitez KO of Mo Hope, Eubanks, Hamed etc.

From what I have heard the kid trains hard, is dedicated and lives the life. I cannot see him progressing too far as I dont think he has the skills needed to make up for the lack of power, but he is entertaining and fun so I wont mind if he proves me wrong.

Good luck to him.

He's a lock to get KO'd once he fights someone decent at this point. He pays no mind to defense and leaps in, throwing wild bombs, but with average power at best. He's quick, but not like his hero Prince Naz. The only goods I see him producing are for those who enjoyed Uzzy Ahmed's epic defeat to Sexton :OhYes:
He has potential if he does some growing up, works on defense, and is moved along carefully, but it's going to take a lot of work. I'd honestly rather see someone less insufferable succeed.

I have instant hatred for anyone who conducts themselves in this way. Will be glad to see him chinned when he meets a proper boxer.

With the way he jumps in, someone will catch him clean on the chin while he's in mid air, neither foot planted and zero punch resistance, highlight reel KO in the making.
