He's had to pull out of his next fight with a hairline rib fracture he got sparring Mark Krence.

The real question is, if Mark Krence can break your ribs, what is anyone world class going to do to you?

Wow….the silence is deafening.

If it was a boxer held in high respect pulling out of a fight (e.g. Skelton), people would be saying “hard luck” etc.
If it was a boxer held in contempt pulling out of a fight (e.g. Audley), people would be claiming foul play and calling him a coward etc.

But here is a boxer the whole world seems disinterested in.

It is probably to do with Roman's style, which is an inherent fear of being hit. There are very strong rumours that he has been dropped a few times in Jim Evans's gym over the years. Other people say that he is a lazy trainer also. Very gifted fighter but in the wrong profession with a bad chin.
