At 47 years old, Yoel Romero is still a force to be reckoned with as the ‘Solider of God’ sent the fans home happy after putting Ras Hylton on the canvas in the final round of the main event of DBX1, which went down in the The Hangar at Regatta Harbour, Miami.
Hylton, standing 6″6, towered above Romero and refused to be intimidated by his more credentialed opponent. However, throughout the contest, Romero started breaking his opponent down with punishing body shots and being able to land the cleaner strikes.
The toll on Hylton’s body becomes apparent in the third round, and after some well-placed blows to the body, Romero finished the job with a right and left hook to the head of Hylton.
