The interviewer set the stage, asking, “What does Isaac Cruz do good, what do you do better? You guys both have power, right? Fair to say.” Rolly Romero’s response was candid yet respectful. “Yeah, he can crack. He’s strong, he’s very durable,” he acknowledged, giving Cruz his due for his formidable physical presence in the ring.
But when it came to delineating his own superior skills, Romero’s confidence shone through. “What does he do good? He comes forward and he throws a lot of punches when he comes forward. So that what he does good,” he elaborated on Cruz’s aggressive strategy.
However, Romero didn’t hesitate to assert his own advantages. “What do you do better?” the interviewer probed. Romero asserted, “Everything I think. I move a lot better. I would say I’m a lot more precise.” This comparison not only highlighted Romero’s belief in his comprehensive skill set but also subtly pointed to a more strategic approach against Cruz’s straightforward onslaught.
