Promoter Oscar De La Hoya is predicting a knockout victory for Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs), getting back from a one-year layoff of their twelve-round welterweight predominant occasion in opposition to the succesful Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero on Might 2nd at Occasions Sq. in New York Metropolis.
De La Hoya says the game wants Ryan, bringing life to it along with his warm-up struggle in opposition to the previous WBA gentle welterweight champion Romero (16-2, 13 KOs) to organize him for a potential rematch with Devin Haney. Rolly might be helpful for Garcia to get the rust out, so long as he doesn’t unleash his left hook smash too early within the struggle.
Haney’s “Glass Jaw”
Oscar doubts the Garcia-Haney rematch will occur, as a result of he believes Haney has a “Glass jaw,” and might be knocked out by Jose Ramirez of their co-feature bout on the Garcia vs. Rolly card on Might 2nd.
The 1992 Olympic gold medalist and former six-division world champion De La Hoya has seen sufficient motion to know a fighter with a glass jaw when he sees one. He sees Haney as a textbook instance of a fighter packing class in his chin after watching him get decimated by Kingry on April twentieth final yr on the Barclays Middle in Brooklyn. We haven’t seen cover nor hair of Haney ever since. I simply surprise the place Invoice is at? It’s bizarre how they each disappeared after final April.
“You have Ryan Garcia going up against Rolly, who is a one-punch phenom. He can knock you out with either hand, but Rolly knows how to promote himself. He knows how to get himself into the big fights. Even though he gets knocked out, he knows how to get himself these big fights,” stated promoter Oscar De La Hoya to Golden Boy, speaking in regards to the Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero conflict on Might 2nd at Occasions Sq. in New York Metropolis.
“I feel strongly that Ryan will get the knockout. I’m excited about Ryan Garcia coming back. I think he’s great for the sport. Boxing needs Ryan Garcia. Without him, the sport is like, ‘Ahhh,’ except for my ‘Clapback Thursdays.’”
It goes with out saying that Rolly goes to be knocked out on this struggle by Garcia. Hopefully, Romero hangs in there lengthy sufficient to present Kingry some rounds as a result of he’s coming off a 13-month layoff and he must sharpen up for whoever he faces subsequent.
“I think Ramirez will go out and knock out the glass jaw of Devin Haney. That’s exactly how it’s going to happen,” stated De La Hoya. “Ramirez is a man who stays within the health club, he stays prepared, he’s targeted and isn’t any nonsense. So, he’s going to return after Devin Haney. That is his alternative.
“Speaking as a fighter, Devin Haney, after being knocked out by Ryan Garcia, that chin is not going to be the same. That confidence, that heart is not going to be the same,” stated De La Hoya.
