Romero disrupts Garcia's plans in massive upset

  • Rolando Romero defeated Ryan Garcia by unanimous decision in a Times Square fight on Friday night, marking Garcia's return after suspension.
  • Garcia returned from a one-year ban after failing a drug test following his April 2024 fight with Devin Haney, which disrupted plans for a rematch.
  • The fighters threw a total of 490 punches but only connected with 123, marking one of the lowest punch counts recorded by CompuBox in any 12-round bout.
  • The judges awarded Romero the victory with scores of 115-112, 115-112, and 118-109, while Garcia admitted that Romero started strong and earned the win early in the fight.
  • Romero’s upset victory casts doubt on the planned Garcia-Haney rematch, though Romero said the bout should still happen later this year.
