WBA world welterweight champion Rolando Romero<\/a> has delivered a prediction for Floyd Mayweather\u2018s rematch with Manny Pacquiao<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The two pound-for-pound legends will square off at the Sphere, Las Vegas<\/a>, on September 19, with their second encounter headlining an event live on Netflix.<\/p>\n

Their first meeting, which resulted in Mayweather winning by unanimous decision, took place in 2015 and became the most lucrative boxing event of all time.<\/p>\n

Even back then, the former multi-division world champions were considered to be past their primes, with Pacquiao, in particular, no longer possessing the speed and ferocity he was always known for.<\/p>\n

To his credit, though, the Filipino has amassed eight professional outings since their first encounter, with his latest assignment arriving against Mario Barrios last July.<\/p>\n

And despite coming off a near four-year hiatus, following his defeat to Yordenis Ugas, Pacquiao was able to hold the then-WBC world welterweight champion to a contentious draw<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mayweather, meanwhile, has not fought professionally since his 10th-round stoppage victory over Conor McGregor in 2017, yet his dominant victory over \u2018Pac Man\u2019 over two years prior has led many to predict a similar outcome for their rematch.<\/p>\n

One of whom is Romero, who told Last Stand Podcast<\/a> that he cannot see Pacquiao, at 47 years old, making any drastic changes to his original performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cFloyd wins. And whatever happens, happens. It\u2019s meant to be. Whoever God wants to win is going to win.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what would be the difference [to] the first fight? Was there really anything different that Pacquiao could have [done]?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayweather, now 49, has been involved in a series of exhibition matches since his victory over McGregor, but is now gearing up to put his 50-0 record on the line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WBA world welterweight champion Rolando Romero has delivered a prediction for Floyd Mayweather\u2018s rematch with Manny Pacquiao.
