After a year-long ban, Ryan Garcia (24-2, 20 KOs) faced Rolando “Rolly” Romero (17-2, 13 KOs), but his comeback did not go as planned. Ryan appeared unprepared for a power puncher like Rolly and shown signs of ring rust. Romero's strength increased with the additional weight, and he used a double left hook to knock Garcia out in the second round. From the first to the second round, Ryan was progressively increasing his production as he launched his offensive attack, landing a fight-high 28 punches in the second round. After being knocked down, he seemed rattled and altered his strategy by restricting exchanges, which drastically reduced his production over the following 10 rounds. "Rolly put up a strong fight. He had no excuses for catching me early. Congratulations to him. "He did a fantastic job," Garcia remarked. Romero was the more active of the two, hitting 39 of his 215 jabs to outscore Garcia (Compubox). The two combatants' combined 490 punches are the third-lowest total Compubox has ever recorded in its 40-year history. Rolly put himself back on the winning track after winning by unanimous decision and taking home the WBA welterweight belt. He gains more visibility and more matchmaking choices after defeating a well-known celebrity like Ryan. "Knockdowns are always beneficial. Ryan is a fighter. He stood up and brought the conflict to a close. Romero expressed gratitude for the chance. He benefited from the switch to 147, and it was evident in the ring. After sensing Rolly's strength, Ryan was reluctant to participate. The Rolly of old, the power puncher who rendered opponents unconscious, was visible in the future. In the co-main event, Devin Haney took on Jose Ramirez, and similar to Garcia-Romero, it was a match of limited exchanges where we saw Haney take a very safe approach by boxing on the outside for the full 36-minute match. The combined 503 punches thrown by both fighters earned the fourth spot in the Compubox rankings for the fewest punches thrown, right below Garcia-Romero. records, which were not the goal of the Fatal Fury event's creation. Haney won by unanimous decision after outslugging Ramirez 70 to 40 in total punches landed. It was a very technical match by Haney, who seemed content to do minimal work to earn the victory. "I felt confident heading into the battle, and my prepared strategy was clearly evident. I made him disabled. There was nothing he could do inside," Haney remarked. He had stated previously that he was going to correct the mistakes of the Garcia fight and go back to what he does best, which is box. This tactic makes it harder for opponents to land by reducing their options. Teofimo Lopez defeated Arnold Barboza Jr. by unanimous decision in the first of the tripleheader. Lopez demonstrated his agility and elusiveness, staying out of range of Barboza’s punches. Barboza found the footwork and quickness difficult. "This time, despite our best efforts, we failed. Congratulations to Teofimo on a hard-fought victory. We’ll take the experience, learn from it, and come back stronger. The work continues. Maybe we can fight Ryan next, or Haney, or anyone that will give us an opportunity,” said Barboza. As for Lopez, a move to welterweight could be in the future, stating it might be time to make the move. He appears to have his sight set on Jaron Ennis, calling him out, “I’m Dora the Explorer, and I’m looking for Boots.”
