Champion Material? Malignaggi Speaks on Garcia's Future
Paul "Paulie" Malignaggi, ex-world champ, throws a jab at Ryan Garcia's shot at the WBA bantamweight title (63.5 kg).
"Question marks over Garcia tackling Rolando Romero. Rollie's got the punch, the awkward style, and the real-deal championship in a talent-packed division. He can throw a punch. Ryan? He's like a rookie version of Oscar De La Hoya. He's not on Oscar's level yet, but he's got potential, the looks, and the charm. Plus, he's raking in the dough and making waves," Malignaggi pulls no punches in his assessment.
Post his victory over Oscar Duarte, Garcia's eyes are set on WBA bantamweight king Rolando Romero. Rolando's response? A bold 'first-round knockout' prediction, followed by a snub, hinting at a possible move up in weight class.
