It is not often after the hundreds of years of history that boxing brings something new to the table but with Turki Alalshikh anything can and will happen. This weekend is no different as Ryan Garcia takes on Rolly Romero as a main event in a stacked Times Square card.
The card is stacked with world level talent and storylines all over. Garcia may headline the card but we have a world title fight with Arnold Barboza Jr and Teofimo Lopez facing off and Devin Haney returns against Jose Ramirez.
Ryan Garcia Vs Rolly Romero-
Let’s start with the main event and the most polarising character in boxing, Ryan Garcia. Garcia returns from his ban after getting suspended for ingesting Ostarine when he fought Devin Haney last year. The new Welterweight has been a news magnet ever since with many people asking what he does next. Despite the fight result being overturned its undoubtable that Garcia went in the ring and got the better of Haney showing signs of the original Garcia who was a generational talent.
In terms of in ring performance Garcia technically hasn’t been victorious since 2023 and since has only fought once a year. Garcia could struggle with the inactivity and will link back up with Derrick James for this camp after he was forced to leave Eddy Reynoso’s camp due to ‘Circumstances’. The circumstances were Canelo’s bout with William Scull being scheduled for just a day after Garcia Romero.
Romero is looking to re angle his short but very storied career after two losses in his last four. Rolly has had a up and down career with much of his early hype derailed after losing to Gervonta Davis much like Ryan Garcia. He will now look to upset the narrative by beating Garcia in a huge Times Square bout to set up some major fights in his future. Romero may have only had 18 fights in his near decade career but will ensure he puts all on the line Friday night to return to big time boxing with a splash.
