Ryan Garcia to undergo hand surgery following loss to Rolando Romero, expected to be out at least six weeks

Ryan Garcia, a 26-year-old boxer, underwent right hand surgery on Tuesday in Los Angeles following his May 2 loss to Rolando Romero.
The injury occurred during training camp before the fight and affected Garcia's performance, though he did not delay the bout and received cortisone injections to fight through the pain.
In the 12-round welterweight fight in Times Square, Romero won by unanimous decision, knocking Garcia down in the second round while Garcia appeared hesitant and threw a low number of punches.
Garcia's manager Guadalupe Valencia said recovery will take four to six weeks under hand specialist Dr. Steven Shin, and promoter Oscar De La Hoya favors a rematch with Romero over a Haney fight.
Garcia remains optimistic about his recovery and aims to return this fall with top-tier performance, although his surgery has postponed plans for a follow-up bout against Haney.
