This could possibly be one. Ryan Garcia, recent off his first defeat – which got here courtesy the gloved fists of Gervonta Davis final month – is on the lookout for a title shot in opposition to Rolando “Rolly” Romero, who himself only recently 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 acknowledged he was enthusiastic about pitting himself in opposition to Garcia after he defeated Barroso. Whereas admitting he’d like to rematch Davis, Romero mentioned that “I wish to go after Ryan Garcia. We will do it on Showtime PPV.”
Romero’s want could 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 mentioned, there’s little doubt there will likely be challenges to getting this bout made. First off, each males combat underneath completely different banners, Golden Boy and PBC respectively.
Meaning issues like community affiliations and rematch clauses would probably come into play throughout negations. Nonetheless, Garcia and Davis fought underneath the opposing Golden Boy and PBC banners, and their a lot hoped for match was capable of grow to be a actuality. Typically the potential rewards that include a combat of this nature (big pay per view numbers and a spotlight) make the challenges value surmounting.
In addition to, if each males show to essentially need this combat, then the combat will occur. Davis and Garcia proved that by basically prepared their superfight into being. In reality, it’s onerous to inform who is perhaps favored strolling in, ought to Garcia-Romero grow to be a actuality.
Garcia was not too long ago knocked out by Davis, in any case, however he’s onerous hitting, assured and has a brand new coach in Derek James. Romero, however, gained his title in controversial style 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 could show to be a toss up.
The hazard that comes with such a combat is that the loser will probably not be thought of a prime 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 onerous 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 may be mentioned 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 combat recreation, in addition to sports activities normally.
