Rolly Reveals What Turki Told Ryan in the Corner

WBA regular welterweight champion Rolando “Rolly” Romero shared what was said ringside during his fight with Ryan Garcia, which took place on May 2 in Times Square, New York. According to Romero, Turki Alalshikh, head of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority, personally walked up to Garcia’s corner mid-fight.

“Turki walked over to his corner and said, ‘What are you doing? Throw some punches!’

Ryan will beat Devin again. He’s on a roll. Ryan is a great fighter.

Haney–Ramirez and Canelo–Scull were horrible fights. I couldn’t even watch Haney’s fight. I was warming up and didn’t want to fall asleep before walking to the arena. Those guys don’t have the will to finish a fight decisively because they already have their next matchups lined up,” said Romero for Danza Project.

Rolly dropped Garcia in Round 2 and went on to win a unanimous decision, capturing the WBA title. Full fight stats are available via the link.
