Ryan Garcia vs. Rolly Romero Live Results Update

Ryan Garcia vs. Rolly Romero

Rolly Romero (17-2, 13 KOs) dropped and eventually won a unanimous decision over Ryan Garcia (24-2, 20 KOs, 1 NC) in what was an extremely lacklustre contest.

Scores were 118-109 and 115-112 (x2). This was Romero’s debut at welterweight and he was a significant underdog going into fight night. Garcia was also fighting at the 147-lb for the first time and had gone over a year without a bout.

After a quite opening round, Romero scored a knockdown with two left hooks in the second (unfortunately, none of the promoters associated with this event nor DAZN posted a video of it happening). That proved to be the singular highlight of the bout as neither man did much else of note for the rest of the fight. Both fighters spent most of the time standing an arm’s length away from each other and postering. Romero controlled the pace of the fight and that pace was slow.

Garcia struggled to get on the inside due to his opponent’s jab, but he also did very little at distance. It allowed Romero to rack up rounds by just throwing and landing slightly more. As a result, he wound up winning a clear unanimous decision.

Devin Haney vs. Jose Ramirez

Devin Haney (32-0, 15 KOs, 1 NC) won a unanimous decision against Jose Ramirez (29-3, 18 KOs), but the fight was anything but entertaining.

Scores were 119-109 (x2) and 118-110. This was a 12-round clash contested at a 144-lb catchweight. Haney was fighting for the first time in over a year. Ramirez was coming off of a loss to Arnold Barboza Jr. in Saudi Arabia last year.

The punch output for this fight was even lower than the one that had preceded it. Haney spent much of the fight moving around the ring. This made it hard for Ramirez to land punches, but he was also throwing very few punches to begin with. Likewise, Haney threw very little. However, he still did more than his opponent while also making Ramirez miss. The clip below best encapsulates how most of this fight went.

Teofimo Lopez vs. Arnold Barboza Jr.

Teofimo Lopez (22-1, 13 KOs) retained his world title with a unanimous decision victory over Arnold Barboza Jr. (32-1, 11 KOs).

Scores for their fight were 118-110 and 116-112 (x2). With the win, Lopez remains the WBO super lightweight champion. He won the title against Josh Taylor in 2023. This was Lopez’s third defence of the belt.

Both fighters had low punch outputs throughout the contest. Lopez established himself in the opening round as the quicker of the two. His speed allowed him to not just land more often, but also make Barboza miss consistently. Lopez appeared to be comfortable for most of the fight and would showboat from time to time.

There was a moment in round six where Barboza landed a straight right hand. The punch appeared to have an effect on Lopez, who moved backwards and took some time to recover. Barboza failed to capitalize on that moment and the champion continued to outland him for the remainder of the bout. By the final bell, Lopez had done enough to get the win on the scorecards.

Reito Tsutsumi vs. Levale Whittington

Reito Tsutsumi (1-0, 0 KOs) got his professional career off to a winning start after defeating Levale Whittington (1-3-1, 1 KO) via unanimous decision in a six-round featherweight clash.

Scores were 60-54 (x2) and 58-56. Tsutsumi immediately started pressing forward, attempting to cut off the ring. The Japanese fighter was throwing and landing several punches, but Whittington’s counters kept him in the fight. In the second, the American was clearly rocked by a left hook and nearly went to the canvas. However, he quickly recovered and carried on fighting.

Although Whittington had success with counters, Tsutsumi’s activity ended up being the deciding factor. The debutant mainly stood in front of his opponent and threw whatever he could to get the stoppage. Despite doing so, Whittington’s chin allowed him to make it to the end of the fight. Ultimately, Tsutsumi’s higher output saw him get the win on the scorecards.

Joel Allen vs. James Gennari

The Ryan Garcia vs. Rolly Romero card began with an amateur bout. In a three-round light heavyweight clash, James Gennari of the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) won a unanimous decision against Joel Allen of the New York City Police Department (NYPD).

The exact scores were not announced after the bout. Both men threw a high volume of punches from the opening bell itself. While Allen initially fought off the back foot, the two fighters were soon exchanging at close range. Gennari had greater success in landing clean shots, particularly in the second and third rounds. In the end, his output was enough to get his hand raised.
