Promotor Oscar de la Hoya predicts a knockout victory for Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 COs), and comes back from a one-year discharge in their twelve round welterweight head event against competent Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero on May 2 on Times Square in New York.
De la Hoya says the sport needs Ryan, who brought life to it with his warm-up fight against the former WBA Light Welterweight Champion Romero (16-2, 13 COs) to prepare him for a possible re-broadcast with Devin Haney. Rolly will be useful for Garcia to get the rust out, as long as he does not release his left hook too early in the fight.
Haney’s “Glass Jaw”
Oscar doubts that the Garcia-Haney Rematch will happen because he believes Haney has a “glass jaw,”And will be knocked out by Jose Ramirez on May 2 in their co-function on the Garcia vs. Rolly card.
The 1992 Olympic Golden Medalist and former six divisions world champion De la Hoya saw enough action to know a fighter with a glass jaw when he saw one. He considers Haney an example of a textbook of a fighter packaging class in his chin after watching Kingry at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on April 20 last year. We have not yet seen hiding or hair of Haney since then. I just wonder where Bill is? It is strange how they both disappeared after April last year.
“You have Ryan Garcia against Rolly, which is a one -time phenoma. He can strike you with any hand, but Rolly knows how to promote himself. He knows how to get himself into the big fights. Although he is knocked out, he knows how to get himself these big battles, ”said the promoter Oscar de la Hoya Golden boyTalk about the Ryan Garcia against Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero Clash on May 2 at Times Square in New York.
“I feel strongly that Ryan will get the knockout. I’m excited about Ryan Garcia coming back. I think he’s great for the sport. Boxing needs Ryan Garcia. Without him, the sport is like ‘Ahhh,’ except for me ‘back on Thursdays.’ ‘
It goes without saying that Rolly will be knocked out by Garcia in this battle. Hopefully Romero hangs in there long enough to give Kingry a few rounds, because he comes from a 13 -month dismissal and he has to tighten for anyone he faces next.
“I think Ramirez will go out and beat Devin Haney’s glass jaw. That’s exactly how it’s going to happen, ”says De la Hoya. “Ramirez is a man who lives in the gym, he stays ready, he is focused and is no nonsense. So, he’s going to get behind Devin Haney. This is his opportunity.
“Devin Haney, after being knocked out by Ryan Garcia, spoke as a fighter that Chin would not be the same. The confidence, that heart is not going to be the same, ‘says De la Hoya.
