Fight Rolando “Rolly” Romero hires Ryan Garcia in May after Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz retires By fight - January 21, 2025 2 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestWhatsApp By Boxing News – 01/21/2025 – Comments Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero has been given the May 2 fight against Ryan Garcia after Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz chose not to take it due to his previously scheduled fight next month. This is Rolly’s chance to take on the rusty ring Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) on Turki Al-Sheikh’s card in Times Square in New York City. Rolly Steps In Cruz has a fight scheduled against Angel Fierro on February 1 and did not want to negotiate another fight until after their match. Fans were hoping to see Ryan and Pitbull fight, as it would have been much more interesting than watching Rolly be given the match-up. It is not clear if there were other fighters available who could have intervened. The 140lb division has plenty of fighters with more talent than Rolly, and it would have been nice for the fans to see someone else. Former WBA 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. It was a surprisingly one-sided fight. On the May 2 card, Devin Haney will face Jose Ramirez, and heavyweight Martin Bakole will fight Efe Ajagba. Also, per source involved – this card with Garcia-Rolly & Haney-Ramirez is scheduled for May 2nd (a Friday night). #boxing – Dan Rafael (@DanRafael1) January 21, 2025 Click here to subscribe to our FREE newsletter Related News: Boxing News 24 ยป Rolando “Rolly” Romero hires Ryan Garcia in May after Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz retires Last updated on 01/21/2025
