By Adam Baskin: Ryan Garcia has surprisingly agreed to provide WBA gentle welterweight champion Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero a struggle after he begged him.
Rolly, 27, has been begging Ryan nonstop for a struggle ever since he beat 40-year-old Ismael Barroso by a controversial ninth spherical knockout win earlier this month on Could thirteenth.
As an alternative of doing the fitting factor by giving Barroso a well-deserved rematch to clear up the controversy, Rolly has repeatedly referred to as out Ryan for a struggle.
Ryan (23-1, 19 KOs) posted on Twitter, telling the newly topped Rolly (15-1, 13 KOs), “You asked for it.” Whereas some would possibly view this as a wierd transfer on Ryan’s half to face Rolly, it’s really predictable.
Ryan clearly is aware of that Rolly is the weakest hyperlink among the many champions at 140 and the one man that he has an opportunity of beating. This transfer does entail danger on Ryan’s half as a result of if he loses to a fighter like Rolly, he can’t blame the defeat on him combating probably the greatest guys.
If Ryan had been to struggle the champions Regis Prograis, Subriel Matias, or Josh Taylor, he’d possible get knocked out once more and be on skidrow.
