Daniel Roman outpoints Ricardo Espinoza Franco in tough ten rounder

Former WBA & IBF world super-bantamweight champion Daniel Roman had to work hard to turn back the onslaught from Tijuana's Ricardo Espinoza Franco in a 10 round support bout to the Luis Nery vs Brandon Figueroa super-bantamweight unification headliner at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

Roman is looking close to his best and should be given the chance to avenge his close points defeat to Murodjon Akhmadaliev in their title clash in January 2020.

Scores: Rudy Barragan 98-92 | Edward Hernandez Sr 98-92 | Zachary Young 97-93.
