Rolando Romero achieved a significant career milestone by defeating Ryan Garcia in a high-profile bout in Times Square. With a unanimous decision—two judges scoring it 115-112 and one 118-109—Romero showcased strong boxing skills, including a notable knockdown in the second round. Garcia, coming off a year-long suspension for drug offenses, struggled throughout the fight, landing only 54 punches over 12 rounds, marking one of the lowest totals in boxing history. This loss drastically affects Garcia's anticipated rematch with Devin Haney, casting doubt on its future.
Romero dropped Garcia with a double left hook in the second round and went on to control the fight, ultimately winning by unanimous decision.
The loss throws cold water on Garcia's proposed rematch with Devin Haney, which had been pencilled in for later this year.
