Yoel believes in the God who sent Jesus Christ. With God anything is possible. It's written in Psalms The Lord's anointed arms are so strong they can bend a bow of bronze.

What about the weave out the way of the haymaker 😂

[@lyrics2challenged]

@@andrewpal the triple weave was insane. I know boxers dodge faster hits, but bro dodged THREE STRAIGHT with a knee or kick being a possibility, WHILE RECOVERING!

[@7travyg]

These kinds of fights may seem entertaining, however, it's a little disappointing to not see the corner stop this fight sooner. He took a ton of brain rattling damage in the third round and there was no sign of offense other than the 'punchers chance', which is not enough to keep the fight going. Hats off to Romero for being the beast that he is.

[@guilboy]

yeah way too much damage...

[@tdmagichands]

This fight should have been stopped by the ref or the corner at the end of the 2nd round after that knock down. The man face planted and was on spaghetti legs when he got up.

[@superherodepot3994]

@@tdmagichands Yeah, 100%. After that knockdown, the dude was over and the only reason why Romero didn't finish the fight right there is because he was playing with his prey... I really don't blame the corner for not stopping the fight, as many fighters take it as a personal betrayal when their coaches throw in the towel, but the referee really did a mediocre job. What is the point of letting the fighter took so much damage if the fight was so one-sided towards the other fighter.

[@kaganatkins3296]

Polizzi had nothing totally should have been stopped earlier, imagine the damage Romero could have done if he wanted

[@danien37]

bullshit, why didn't he finish him?

[@vincentquirk2163]

Definitely different levels. Can tell Yoel felt bad for the guy, Yoel was fighting like he was just sparing. Can tell he didn’t want dude being made into a meme.

Yoel is just something else man, he’s unique indeed. But MAD respect for Polizzi! Man is tough as heck! He got hit with bombs and he was still standing (wobbly yes, standing and AWAKE nonetheless lol). 👏 Fantastic!

His next fight is June 16th. That's why they just put this up. I'm definitely watching that fight. I would love to see Yoel get a championship belt.

I mean to see whats possible for a man at 45 is incredible. Maybe yes his genetics are next level but look what can happen if you exercise and eat right. Amazing. The guy is in a better physical condition than if you pulled 1000 random college kids out of a crowd at random and i doubt any could match what this man has at 45. Its incredible to see

After watching this beat down by Yoel, you have to give credit to Whitaker and Adesanya for hanging and beating Yoel. Mad respect to Romero though at 45

[@JanneiSalvador-pl5dm]

You forgot about Costa who came aout toe to toe with yoel

[@pandassudsnshine4125]

The problem with him is not wanting to take things to the ground. If he did he would have beat the guys he lost to.

[@BirdmanVeganFuture]

​@@pandassudsnshine4125 idk he wants to win, cardio seems to be his liability thus low output and wrestling and grappling take more stamina

[@don-eladio]

⁠@@BirdmanVeganFuture to be fair he has a ridiculous amount of muscle mass, those muscles need oxygen to perform, leading to a more limited gas tank

[@BirdmanVeganFuture]

@@don-eladio well he has more of a bodybuilder physique which is often a liability as with Tyron Woodley and others who have low output. His speed is still solid tho

[@jerrywhitfield9763]

And people wonder why Adesanya just chopped at his legs and moved around. Yoel has insane explosiveness and timing, High level wreslting. It's a lot to watch for.

After he took that shot to the knee the fight was over and as others have said, there was no reason for the fight to go to three rounds. He took unnecessary damage.
