The WBA super lightweight title will be on the line tomorrow night live from the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, NV. Rolando ‘Rolly' Romero (14-1, 12 KOs) and Ismael Barroso (24-3-2, 22 KOs) both made weight and will settle it in the ring on Showtime. Although many were giving Barroso a hard time on social media as he looked much older during their press conference, he will look to prove that he still has something left. Romero also has something to prove as he is coming off of a knockout loss and wants to get back on track. Here are the weigh-in results and the latest betting odds for the main event.
