Ryan Garcia the boxing superstar in the US has suffered a shock defeat this weekend in boxing that saw Rolly Romero beat him in New York.
People are shocked but we are not, nor are most knowledgable people in boxing either.
Romero came into the fight in good form and was very focused, Garcia had been out of the ring for a year and it showed with his loss on points to Romero.
Classy Garcia gave Romero his dues afterwards and per Boxing Kingdom on the X platform, said the following:
“Even at the start of the fight. It didn’t feel like my feet were under me. I tried to fight through it. I found myself very off, after the one year layoff. That year off was a lot for me mentally. The fact that I got here tonight is a victory for me”
Adding:
“I will fight whoever the fans want. If they want me to run it back with Rolly, let’s do it. If they want me to rematch Devin Haney, let’s do it”.
Good stuff from Garcia as well.
He’ll be back after getting the ring rust off him.
The Devin Haney rematch is still a huge fight and Haney will be very confident of winning the rematch now.
