This could possibly be a superb 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 towards Rolando “Rolly” Romero, who himself only recently gained the WBA junior welterweight belt towards 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. Indeed, Romero said he was concerned with pitting himself towards Garcia after he defeated Barroso. While admitting he’d like to rematch Davis, Romero mentioned that “I want to go after Ryan Garcia. We can do it on Showtime PPV.”
Romero’s want might come true, as Garcia put the next up on social media Saturday: “Okay rollies you asked for it Let’s get it. This one is for barroso (sic).” With that being mentioned, there’s little doubt there might be challenges to getting this bout made. First off, each males combat beneath totally different banners, Golden Boy and PBC respectively. That means issues like community affiliations and rematch clauses would possible come into play throughout negations. Still, Garcia and Davis fought beneath the opposing Golden Boy and PBC banners, and their a lot hoped for match was in a position to change into a actuality. Sometimes the potential rewards that include a combat of this nature (enormous pay per view numbers and a spotlight) make the challenges value surmounting.
Besides, if each males show to actually need this combat, then the combat will occur. Davis and Garcia proved that by primarily keen their superfight into being. In fact, it’s exhausting 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 exhausting hitting, assured and has a brand new coach in Derek James. Romero, alternatively, gained his title in controversial trend when he stopped Barroso within the seventh spherical. Even Romero himself admitted the combat 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 combat is that the loser will possible not be thought-about a high stage 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 exhausting it’s to earn again individuals’s estees after two losses. Yet boxing consists of nothing if it doesn’t include dangers – and each Garcia and Romero don’t come throughout as security first fighters. Whatever else may be mentioned about them, these two people appear to own the willingness to dare to be nice…one thing that’s at all times good to see within the combat recreation, in addition to sports activities normally.
