Rolando 'Rolly' Romero defends his WBA welterweight world title against Teofimo Lopez Jr. on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (Prime Video PPV, DAZN PPV, 8 p.m. ET).

Romero (17-2, 13 KOs) defeated Ryan Garcia in May 2025 to win the WBA 'regular' welterweight title and was elevated to 'super' champion three weeks later after Jaron Ennis vacated the belt to move up in weight. Lopez (22-2, 13 KOs), a former lightweight and junior welterweight world champion, is coming off a one-sided defeat to Shakur Stevenson in January.

While Lopez has the edge in overall boxing ability, Romero possesses fight-changing power in both hands, particularly his looping left hand, which he used to knock down Garcia.

Former champions Roy Jones Jr. and Raul Marquez and boxing analyst Al Bernstein break down how the fight could play out and offer their picks.
