Ismael Barroso earned a well-deserved rematch with Rolando Romero on the undercard of Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Fredrick Lawson at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas by stopping Ohara Davies, 31, twice and knocking him out in the first round. Seven and a half months after Romero controversially defeated him on May 13 at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas via ninth-round technical knockout, Barroso, 40, emerged victorious in the WBA interim super lightweight title.
