“Chihuahua, poodle, he king of looks like a pug right now. He’s a little fat right now. I mean, it’s self-explanatory. That doesn’t need any explanation.”

For his part Isaac Cruz went all out in his response, assuring everyone that he will knock Romero out.

“Let (Romero) say what he wants. After the fight, he will be the real Chihuahua. Right now everyone is laughing, but on fight night, everyone in Rolly’s house will be crying.”

In the final face off, Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero wore a gold chain with a Isaac Cruz Chihuahua medallion. The pair fight on the undercard of Sebastian Fundora vs. Tim Tszyu in Las Vegas on Saturday, March 30.
