Golden Boy's Oscar De La Hoya evaluated the possibility of a match between his client Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) and Rolando Romero (15-2, 13 KOs).
"No, the deal is done. I think Rollie has been exposed. That's it. Look, I liked him as a person. When I talked to him, he was polite and nice, but now, after all the shit he's talked about me, I have no respect for him. But as a fighter, he's been exposed, again. So, there's even nothing to work with, in terms of a Ryan and Rollie fight," said De La Hoya.
On the night of March 31st in the USA, Rolando Romero was defending the WBA super lightweight title (up to 63.5 kg) against Isaac Cruz (26-2-1, 18 KOs). Cruz won by technical knockout in the 8th round. On April 20th in New York, USA, Ryan Garcia will enter the ring against the WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney (31-0, 15 KOs).
