It was a close fight but Roman did not win the fight. If a second fight happens then Antonio Escalante will win the fight with no difficulty. Roman is no better than Escalante, Roman was lucky that Escalante was having a bad day.
I just want to say that escalante needs to train more. And for mi opinion they stold the fight for mickey roman or unless a tied decision. They should do a fight in juarez and you will see that mickey will knocked down escalante.
Hey Eric Thomas. Escalante will probably not become a champion any time soon. However, try to understand that Miguel Roman is a very difficult fighter to finish off. Miguel Roman has never been knocked out.
This was a great fight.
