Comments Thread For: Bright lights, big letdown: Ryan Garcia falls to Rolly Romero

[anonymous2.0]

Just to think that everyone was overhyping Ryan Garcia’s left hook. What happened to that potent left hook of his last night against Rolly.?

All this goes to show is when Ryan is clean he is not an elite fighter. He is just an average to below average fighter. Elite fighters don’t lose to tomato cans like Rolly Romero.

KingRy has called out Isaac Cruz. I don’t know. Had that been Isaac Cruz in there with him last night. he would have been knocked out.

Rolly did a good job last night of keep his right hand glued to his face without any drop in focus or discipline, so that's what Rolly did on his end to dissuade the left hook. On Ryan's end, I just think he's emotionally and mentally burnt out. In the Tank, Campbell, and Haney fight you could see the fire and the competitiveness in Ryan's face. Last night he just looked resigned.

Everybody knew that all of the fights this weekend were going to lame, right?

Hes the only one who stepped up and showed out.
Haney fought like a b!tch and cRyan proved to be a b!tch

Teo was the only one with a title on the line, and with a legit contender in front of him. The other two were in showcase fights.

Teo actually showed up and showed out.

I think in the grand scheme of things there are a few plausible situations to explain that wound up and right demeanor of Haney:

1-) Career long layoff
2-) PTSD and self-doubt of being able to take a punch
3-) Knowing that there was a fight lined up if he didn’t win added more pressure.

Haney by the end loosened up a little, but Haney respected Ramirez WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much last night.

His fights with Loma and Ryan he showed grit and dug in. His fight with Prograis he looked super elite.

I’ll accept it. I still want to see the rematch regardless.

My prediction was way off because of Romero's Barroso fight. But fight last night was definitely a bad style matchup for Garcia.

I need to see Romero vs Barroso rematch, but I don't think it'll ever happen again.

And they were both fcukin duds.

The whole card was a letdown. Boxing is in the sewer right now.

Yeah you are right! He was sober and clean this time. He has burnt his body out by partying with all those hoes, drugs and alcohol he had been taking ever since the Tank Davis loss.

Last night it appeared as though he has aged by some 10 years or more since his last fight with Devin Haney. He looked very old, slow, lethargic and weak against Rolondo Romero.

Did Ryan really get a 20M flat-fee purse for this fight??

Holy overpay if true

No kidding! Rolly made out great for $5.5M.
