By boxing news – 01/21/2025 – Comments Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero was given the May 2 fight against Ryan Garcia after Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz decided not to accept it due to his previously scheduled fight next month. This is Rolly’s chance to upset the rusty Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) on the Turki Al-Sheikh undercard in Times Square in New York City. Rolly intervenes Cruz has a fight scheduled against Ángel Fierro on February 1 and did not want to negotiate another fight until after their fight. Fans were hoping to see Ryan and Pitbull fight, as it would have been much more interesting than seeing Rolly face off. It is unclear if there were other fighters available who could have intervened. The 140-pound division has many more talented fighters than Rolly, and it would have been great for fans to see someone else. Former WBA light welterweight champion Rolly (16-2, 13 KOs) was knocked out in the eighth round by Pitbull Cruz last year in the eighth round on March 30. That was a surprisingly one-sided fight. On the May 2 card, Devin Haney will face José Ramírez, and heavyweight Martin Bakole will fight Efe Ajagba. Additionally, according to the source involved, this card with García-Rolly and Haney-Ramírez is scheduled for May 2 (a Friday night). #boxing https://t.co/dPZGmJgiv0 —Dan Rafael (@DanRafael1) January 21, 2025 Click here to subscribe to our FREE newsletter Related news: Boxing News 24 » Rolando “Rolly” Romero faces Ryan García in May after Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz retires Last updated on 01/21/2025 Source link
