Rolly Romero shocks Ryan Garcia, derails Haney rematch hopes

Ryan Garcia suffered a major upset loss to Rolly Romero in New York, being dropped early and outboxed over twelve rounds, which likely derails his anticipated rematch with Devin Haney. Garcia, returning from a one-year suspension for a failed drug test following his overturned win against Haney, was unable to match Romero's disciplined performance, losing by unanimous decision. Meanwhile, Haney secured a wide points victory over Jose Ramirez, maintaining his unbeaten record but expressing disappointment as Garcia's defeat put their rematch plans in jeopardy. The Garcia-Romero fight, staged as a high-profile event in Times Square, was Garcia's first bout since his suspension and marked his welterweight debut. Despite the loss, Garcia had previously revealed he received a $20 million guaranteed purse for the fight, highlighting his ongoing star power in the sport.
