Ryan Garcia against Rolando Romero -Kampfahres, emphasizes: 'Rolly' evaluates massive annoyance, denotes 'King Ry' “.

The best plans for boxing conveyors were always at the mercy of what was happening in the ring, which has long been called the theater of truth.

And the truth is that on Friday the historical triplet header on the New York Times Square the Saudi Arabic advisor Turki Alalhshikh's hope for a big money back between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney this autumn on the menu that was designed for the promotion of mixed meetings with a revised, early meeting Product of mixed meetings achieved.

Haney was not only a risk in the Co-Main event of the first event on the US floor for Alalshikh's new “The Ring” series in a terrible decision victory against Jose Ramirez. Garcia because he takes a risk.

The 26-year-old Garcia, in his first fight after a 12-month drug suspension and a very public struggle against drug abuse and psychological health problems, began to sleep in a deep hole than his dangerous left hook was completely neutralized. Romero took home the values ​​from 115-112 (twice) and 118-109 in a unanimous decision, which was continuously tense, but was largely measures for action.

When he seemed to struggle for tears after the loss, Garcia only respected the 29-year-old Romero and briefly stood up to make any excuses.

“[It was] Just Rolly, he fought a good fight, “said Garcia.” He caught me early. Congratulations to him. No excuses, he did a great job and that's it.

“I think this whole year physically and mentally took my body a lot from my body. I am only glad that I made it into the ring and went 12 hard rounds.”

The combined offensive attack was so anemic that the two fighters only tried a total of 490 strokes, which was 40 less than Haney-Ramirez shortly before him and the third-less in Compubox history for a 12-round fight. Garcia actually failed Romero 65 to 54.

According to his drug test problems, Garcia wanted to make an explanation that transformed his victory in April 2024 against Haney into a competition. Haney and his team accused Garcia of looking less muscular for this fight and directly called him a fraudster.

But Romero's surprise would never have been an option if it hadn't been for its noticeably improved defense and head movement that limited Garcia with regard to clean openings. And although neither of the two fighters really thrown enough blows to win a decision, Romero made the rounds much better than the fading Garcia in the second half and the attacker remained long enough to find openings for his hard hooks.

The knockdown in the second round saw that Romero connected a clean counter on the chin on the chin before he came back to the right with a second left hook that was blocked, but pressed Garcia's momentum towards the canvas. After the knockdown, Garcia could not have enough trust in his right hand to throw more than one blow after the other.

“Knockdowns always help the fight,” said Romero. “[Garcia] Is a warrior, he got up and ended the fight.

“Man, I'm not even thinking about what's coming next. I think Devin and Ryan should get a resource and make a big one.”

Alalshikh, whom the DAZN Pay-Per-View program reported on Friday, had already signed a contract with Haney and Garcia for a reserve for autumn, may have to change his plans, since Garcia did not appear to be transferable in terms of his next step.

“I just have to go to the drawing board with my team,” said Garcia. “We'll talk about it and see what I'm going to do next.”
