Ryan Garcia impressed at Open Workout

Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 COs) intends to make a historic attack on Times Square on May 2 on May 2 on Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero (16-2, 13 COs). Garcia is back from his year -long suspension because he tested positive for the performance -enhancing drug ostarine in the 20th match against Devin Haney. He had time to improve himself spiritually and physically, and during Thursday’s Open Media workout at the BXNG club in San Diego, California, he demonstrated his very improved boxing skills.

Garcia, known for his power and that deadly left hook, has shown improved skills, making him a better overall boxer. He showed much better footwork and an improved ability to utilize corners. In his time away from the ring, Ryan briefly worked with his old coach, Eddy Reynoso, but eventually returned to the coach with which he was the last two fights, Derrick James.

Their goal is to be boxers who can also fight on the inside and box on the outside. Against a puncher like Rolando, their strategy seems to be more on the outside. James said of Ryan Garcia fighting on the inside, “Don’t worry about that. When I say don’t worry about that. I’m not going to be an issue. Inside fights are something that is always a possibility. If you keep them on the outside. Comes to this.

If you are able to adjust and change tactically, Garcia makes a more challenging opponent for everyone. Ryan and James feel that Rolly is a tough opponent and prepares for a difficult match. Garcia said of his upcoming game: ‘I just have to take the advice of my coach. He likes to keep everything low, but we are prepared for everything Rolando brings. We do not expect an easy battle. He is a power point, and he will try to beat me out and make the fight rough. I just have to have a good game plan. ‘

Rolly’s last match was against Manuel Jimes last September, which he defeated by unanimous decision on the Canelo Alvarez-Edgar Berlanga card. Before the game, he lost his WBA Super Lightweight Championship against Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz via an 8th round technical knockout. Romero was extremely quiet for the New York and Los Angeles Pressers and appears to be fully focused

about this fight. He has a record of 2-2 in his last four games and needs a big victory against a top contender like Ryan to put him back on the winning path.

The co-head event on this Epic Ring Magazine card also contains Devin Haney’s return to the ring against Jose Ramirez. If both Garcia and Haney conquer, it will set up a match between the two for what is projected as an October match in Saudi Arabia. There is a lot of interest to see how both fighters will perform to what appeared between the two in April. We got a look at Ryan today, and he was greatly improved.
