Romero Outpointed Jaimes on the Canelo–Berlanga Undercard
Rolando “Rolly” Romero defeated Manuel Jaimes by unanimous decision in a ten-round super lightweight bout on September 14, 2024, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The fight appeared on the Canelo Alvarez–Edgar Berlanga pay-per-view card.
Ten rounds at T-Mobile Arena
Romero entered the contest after losing the WBA super lightweight title to Isaac Cruz earlier in 2024. Jaimes had compiled a strong record but was stepping into a high-profile matchup against a former champion.
The fighters completed all ten scheduled rounds. Romero earned the judges’ decision without a knockout, making the result a full-distance victory rather than a stoppage.
Premier Boxing Champions recorded the result as unanimous. Its event coverage lists Romero at 16–2 and Jaimes at 16–2–1 following the bout.
A comeback win on a major card
The fight took place on the same night Canelo defended his super middleweight titles against Berlanga. Romero’s bout was a supporting attraction and carried no world championship.
The win gave Romero a return to the victory column and helped set up his later move back toward the title picture. Jaimes lost by decision but completed the full distance.
