This might be a very good one. Ryan Garcia, recent off his first defeat – which got here courtesy the gloved fists of Gervonta Davis final month – is in search of a title shot in opposition to Rolando “Rolly” Romero, who himself only in the near past gained the WBA junior welterweight belt in opposition to Ismael Barroso. Like Garcia, Romero has been defeated solely as soon as – and, like Garcia, that was to Davis. What’s extra, each males are thrilling fighters with colourful personalities. Certainly, Romero said he was interested by pitting himself in opposition to Garcia after he defeated Barroso. Whereas admitting he’d like to rematch Davis, Romero stated that “I wish to go after Ryan Garcia. We are able to do it on Showtime PPV.”
Romero’s want might come true, as Garcia put the next up on social media Saturday: “Okay rollies you requested for it Let’s get it. This one is for barroso (sic).” With that being stated, there’s little doubt there will probably be challenges to getting this bout made. First off, each males battle below totally different banners, Golden Boy and PBC respectively. Which means issues like community affiliations and rematch clauses would probably come into play throughout negations. Nonetheless, Garcia and Davis fought below the opposing Golden Boy and PBC banners, and their a lot hoped for match was capable of change into a actuality. Typically the potential rewards that include a battle of this nature (large pay per view numbers and a focus) make the challenges value surmounting.
Moreover, if each males show to actually need this battle, then the battle will occur. Davis and Garcia proved that by basically keen their superfight into being. In reality, it’s laborious to inform who is perhaps favored strolling in, ought to Garcia-Romero change into a actuality. Garcia was lately knocked out by Davis, in any case, however he’s laborious hitting, assured and has a brand new coach in Derek James. Romero, then again, gained his title in controversial style when he stopped Barroso within the seventh spherical. Even Romero himself admitted the battle ought to have been allowed to go on longer. In different phrases, this ring pairing might show to be a toss up.
The hazard that comes with such a battle is that the loser will probably not be thought of a high degree fighter within the division. Boxing is lastly coming again round to the truth that a single loss doesn’t essentially finish a profession. One can solely think about how laborious it’s to earn again folks’s estees after two losses. But boxing consists of nothing if it doesn’t include dangers – and each Garcia and Romero don’t come throughout as security first fighters. No matter else could be stated about them, these two people appear to own the willingness to dare to be nice…one thing that’s all the time good to see within the battle recreation, in addition to sports activities normally.
