Rolly Romero talks about the best advice Floyd Mayweather gave him

Rolly Romero was discovered by Floyd Mayweather when the Las Vegas native came to train at the Mayweather gym. He came up through the ranks in the lightweight division and currently holds an undefeated record of 14-0.

Ahead of his fight against fellow Mayweather Promotions fighter Gervonta Davis, he revealed the best advice 'Money' gave him:

"You know, Floyd would always tell me, keep your weight down, keep your weight down, keep your weight down champ... And it's like it didn't really click to me until, you know, my last two fights... Well, this last fight and the fight I'm in camp for, that's when it started clicking to me like I need to keep my f***ing weight down."

The unbeaten fighter appears to have taken Mayweather's advice to heart as he looks to be in incredible shape.
