Oscar de la Hoya says that the Ryan Garcia event against Rolando Rolly Romero on May 2 in New York “will exceed everything” that fans have ever seen in boxing before. Devin Haney Fight Jose Ramirez in the main support fight.
From the Hoya does not say who else is on the map, but the reaction of the fans to these two fights has been lukewarm so far. Rolly is not considered a higher level fighter, so he is a bad option for Ryan to fight. Haney’s struggle against Ramirez recently beaten is not large enough to make the card that the biggest fans have ever seen.
Turki al-Sheikh should start again and replace Ramirez and Rolly. It is still early enough to find an appropriate replacement that will make fans happy.
The “best event?”
“In boxing, you should keep your options open. We presented the agreement to Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz, and he refused it. He has already fought. We never intend Isaac Cruz. He is an exciting fighter. I love to look at it, ”said Oscar de la Hoya Sports Koartists When asked by Ryan Garcia, he did not fight Isaac Cruz.
“Maybe next time Ryan Garcia wins against Rolly. Maybe Cruz is the next one. We always try to make exciting fights. You mentioned New York. It’s going to be one of a kind. The weekend of Cinco de Mayo will be the most special night of boxing in the history of sport.
“You hear about these beautiful stories about how [John L] Sullivan and all these great fighters of the past fought in open -air arenas in New York in the Yankee Stadium. The Ryan Garcia fight against Rolly will exceed everything you have heard of, everything you’ve ever seen. It will be monumental. It’s going to be extraordinary. It will be the best event you have ever seen for boxing.
This could be an interesting card if Turki al-Sheikh adds a good sub-bar to support the Ryan fight against Romero and the clash of Devin Haney against Jose Ramirez. None of these fights will arouse a lot of interest in fans. Rolly has already been eliminated twice, and he didn’t look good in his last fight against Manuel Jaies. Ramirez has just paid a defeat against Arnold Barboza Jr.
“I have to respect Haney for constantly wanted the match against Ryan. It takes a lot of guts and a lot of courage. I think Ryan Garcia is at a different level, and he has proven it. When he fights on May 2, it will be an exciting world event for Ryan Garcia and boxing, “said Hoya.
Haney obviously takes the fight against Ryan in October due to the big salary he will get. If that didn’t pay, he would probably not have agreed to take it.
