Benavidez Blasts Mora, Says Rolly Was Robbed Against Teofimo

David Benavidez expressed frustration with boxing commentator Sergio Mora, claiming that Rolando "Rolly" Romero was robbed in his majority decision loss to Teofimo Lopez. Lopez secured the WBA welterweight title on August 22, but Benavidez argued to Fight Hub TV that Romero landed the heavier, cleaner shots and inflicted more damage during the bout.

Benavidez criticized the broadcast team for allegedly praising Lopez's footwork while ignoring Romero's patient and effective punching. However, the writer notes that Romero's heavy shots were too sparse throughout the rounds to clearly overcome Lopez's consistent activity and defensive ring control.
