Last October, Romero defeated Orlando Salgado (3-5) in Portland by way of a third-round technical knockout at the Exposition Building.<\/p>\n<p>This Saturday the gifted super middleweight prospect faces \u201cThe Conqueror\u201d Nafys Anas Garner (4-2, 3 KOs), fighting out of Sacramento (CA), in a scheduled 6-round bout at Cross Insurance Arena.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m more motivated than ever and couldn\u2019t be happier to see the plan unfolding like we talked about a couple of years ago with Coach John (Brown, manager\/head trainer), Uncle Al (Valenti, advisor), my father (Salvatore Romero, assistant trainer) and Sergio (Flores, assistant trainer).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m ready and excited to be fighting again in Portland. I would love to bring a world title fight to Portland, where people appreciate good boxing. Traveling to fight is something I\u2019m used to from my amateur days. Portland is like my second home because I\u2019ve been treated so well there by everyone. I have big respect for Bobby Russo (promoter). He\u2019s an amazing guy who has shown me respect from the start. He gave me my Golden Boy (Most Outstanding Boxer Award, Russo is President of the National Golden Gloves), when I won my division at the (2024) National Golden Gloves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarco is excited to be fighting again in his adoptive city of Portland, which has the best fight fans in America,\u201d Brown remarked. \u201cHe\u2019s hoping to display the talents that will eventually lead him to a world title. Marco\u2019s been lucky to fight every two months all over America, which is helping him build a national fanbase.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;
