Analysis:
Ryan Garcia will fight Rolando Romero on May 03, at Times Square, New York City. This 12-round bout, featuring two orthodox hard punchers, ranked 2nd and 3rd by WBA at Welterweight, will head line the card. Garcia, coming off a 1-year ban for failing his drug tests before the fight against Devin Haney, has stopped 20 of his opponents by Knockout. Likewise, 13 of Romero’s 16 wins were by way of KO.
Special features:
Aiming to regain his rightful place among the top boxers after his suspension, Ryan Garcia will attempt to replicate his last fight performance. Despite winning the fight by UD, and then seeing his victory overturned to a no-contest, he sent Devin Haney to the canvas 3 times. This finishing spirit could be witnessed in his fights, including the 8th-round KO win over Oscar Duarte back in December 2023. And also in his lone defeat at the hands of Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis in April of the same year. Speaking of which, Tank compared Garcia’s punches to bricks.
However, he will be facing his equal, Rolando Romero, with an 81% knockout ratio and in a 1-winning streak. However, Romero lost 2 of his fights by knockout, a 6th round knockout against Tank on May 28, 2022; and a KO defeat against Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz last year on March 30, at T-Mobile Arena. He will be returning to the ring after his win over Manuel Jaimes by Unanimous Decision 7 months ago.
Suggestion:
Garcia is quick and has powerful blows and that makes him a dangerous opponent. Though Romero’s weakness was exposed in his 2 losses, he showed resilience and aggressiveness in his latest fight. Though King Ryan is considered the favorite by the bookies, we suggest betting on Over 7.5 as this won-t be an easy one for both.
