Teofimo Lopez Predicts Garcia vs. Romero Fight

WBO super lightweight world champion Teofimo Lopez (21-1, 13 KOs) shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight between Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) and Rolando Romero (16-2, 13 KOs).

"It’s a great fight and a good storyline for Rolly. I heard the fight is happening at welterweight (66.7 kg). When was the last time Rolando fought? Was it against Isaac Cruz? (Actually, it was against Manuel Jaimes – editor’s note).

I’m picking Ryan. If you look at what happened in the Pitbull fight, where Romero was stopped and then stayed inactive for a long time—it could affect him. Ryan just needs to be careful with Rolly’s power. He still has knockout strength and can cause problems," Lopez said.

According to preliminary reports, Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando Romero is set for May in New York, USA. The WBA Regular welterweight title will be on the line.
