Coach Greg Hackett suspects that Ryan Garcia looked so indigent from his loss with Rolando Romero last Friday evening because he was not on “Ostarine”. Hackett says that without this PED in the Garcia system he returned to his “Natural me“Which he calls “Housecat.Garcia looked like a terrified Romero after dropping and never seemed to regain confidence after this episode.

Rolly (17-2, 13 KO) defeated Garcia (24-2, 20 KO) by a 12-round unanimous decision in a welterweight competition in their head in the Times Square in Fresh York. Ryan used Romero, 29 years senior as an opponent of tuning to prepare him for a rematch with Devin Haney in October. Fans saw how Garcia-Romero fights as an exaggerated conclusion that Ryan would easily win.
“Terrified all the time”
The failure could deraise the rematch plans between Garcia and Haney. Turki Alalshikh did not say if he would go to the fight for October. As for only mindless junk entertainment, it may as well go on the fight.
Nothing changes. This fight would always be a duel at the level of celebrities between warriors who are not able to win world titles at level 147. Only a few fighters were well suited by the whole career and sold by promoters.
“Ryan was terrified all the time, especially after he was caught. After he returned, he still informed Rolly,” I’m still here, but I’m not going to do too much, “said coach Greg Hackett to do it Sports media YSM About Ryan Garcia in his defeat with Rolando Romero last Friday evening at Times Square. “He [Garcia] He was not sure, because every time he fired to the right, Rolly went beyond the reach and did not let him remove this right hand. “
Garcia looked very afraid of throwing blows after he was knocked down with a double left hook from Rolando in the second round. This knocking down weakened the whole fight with Ryan, leaving a terrifying warrior, whose fans saw for the rest of the 12-round competition. He looked like he saw the ghost. The point is that Rolly did not start to be sure until the second half of the fight. When he saw that Ryan did not throw, he began to walk, loading individual arrows and stabs.
“You can say that Rolly is sturdy as a hell mother. Stay. I’m moving too rapid,” said Hackett. “Ostarina, Honey. He wasn’t there… it was the same behavior of Ryan of his entire camp [for Devin Haney fight]Hackett said, comparing the furious, demolished behavior of Ryan Garcia in leading to the fight with Haney with the film figure of a footballer who was on Ped and acting Berserk.
Ryana beds and the level of aggression were different in the case of Rolly fight compared to the Haney fight last year. He looked more muscular against Devin, and that night he was like a cage, a furious tiger in the ring. Garcia followed Haney, not showing respect for his blows and shot with a 100% full power. Haney was as afraid of Ryan as Rolly.
“Go there with Devin Haney, he tried to take off his head. He did not care what his path is coming. His level of certainty was through the roof. Where was another night? We did not see it,” said Hackett about Ryan Garcia, who did not have the same aggression against Rolly that in the fight with Haney.
Even in the first round, Ryan did not look aggressive and seemed to worry about Romero’s power. A few Rolls landed in a round, Garcia warned him about mixing him with him. He felt his power and realized that he was a different animal than what he fought in the past at the age of 135.
“Natural self” exposed?
“The same guy we saw with the frame and everyone. We didn’t see it,” said Hackett. “Do you have so much respect for the roll? No. [Kingry] Natural I is home. He is. His natural self is not a guy who says: “What the fuck. What the fuck is he thinking? Let me take me away. [Trainer] Derek James is on his fingers, shouting. “Come, honey. Lift it. You have to give me something. We’re in the last three rounds. You have to do it. He said,” Find something. ” He wouldn’t do it because we have too many businessmen and insufficient number of fighters. “
The Ryan version, which we saw against Haney, may never exist again. It was a occasional one -time performance because he never looked so impressive in any of his fights. Garcia was like Superman tonight. Now he returned to his ex -self and is not prepared to deal with a welterweight with power.
Unless something changes with Ryan, his career is over. He should fight for payment in Haney and consider retiring if he loses. If the victory, direct the rematch from Gervont Davis to get another gigantic payment day that will lend a hand relieve his retirement years.
“As long as these [boxers] They are tested and stay away from drugs that improve performance, we will have such fights. We will start to see who is a real dog, ‘said Hackett.
Naoya Inoue is eyeing up a move into the featherweight division, with each of the reigning 126lb champions seemingly keen to secure a lucrative shot at the pound-for-pound king. Now, after scoring a fifth consecutive win inside of the distance, one featherweight ruler has publicly called for a clash with the Japanese sensation.
Inoue has issued a March deadline to Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez as hype around their potential match-up continues to first build and then be dampened by a possible collapse, as Rodriguez toys with the idea of remaining at bantamweight or challenging for the undisputed super-bantamweight throne.
Regardless, it is believed that Inoue will make his move into the featherweight division next year, with current world champions; Angelo Leo (IBF), Bruce Carrington (WBC), Brandon Figueroa (WBA) and Rafael Espinoza (WBO), each jostling to be selected as the man that Inoue wishes to challenge.
On Saturday, Espinoza managed a fifth straight knockout win in as many outings since becoming a world champion and during the aftermath of his victory over Ricardo Blandon, ‘Divino’ unveiled his plans to either unify or take on Inoue, on the DAZN broadcast.
“The truth is, I want to unify. I want a unification fight. I want to be able to say I’m the best featherweight, and also wait for that big fight with Inoue. That would be a dream. My biggest dream is to become one of the pound-for-pound best. That’s what I want, and that’s what I’m going to pursue.”
Inoue’s move to featherweight hinges on Rodriguez’s next move, but it is expected that the pair will collide in Marchbefore the Japanese superstar ventures up to what he has declared will be the highest and final weight-class of his career.
Canelo Alvarez got his hands on the WBC super-middleweight title once again as he dethroned Christian Mbilli on Saturday night, and now the reigning WBC Interim champion has revealed his keenness to take on the Mexican superstar.
Alvarez lost his undisputed title to Terence Crawford last September, whilst Christian Mbilli defended his WBC Interim title in a draw against Lester Martinez in the co-main event.
When Crawford retired from the sport and relinquished his titles, Mbilli was elevated to full world champion and an immediate target was placed on his back, with Canelo eager to regain his title – which he did with a unanimous decision win on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Martinez – who is trained by Crawford coach Brian McIntyre and has sparred the pound-for-pound great on many occasions – has since been named as the WBC Interim champion and has defended that belt with triumphs over Immanuwel Aleem and Luka Plantic during 2026.
Following Canelo’s win over Mbilli, Martinez told Izquierdazo Boxeo that it is his ‘dream’ to take on the four-division world champion in a bid for the full WBC super-middleweight crown.
“My dream now is to fight Canelo because he is the champion.”
Alvarez is believed to have one fight left on his deal with Riyadh Season and is already being linked to a return to action in the spring.
Whilst Martinez will hope to soon be mandated as Alvarez’s opponent, David Benavidez famously had no such luck when pursuing a showdown with Canelo whilst he reigned as the WBC Interim titleholder.
Instead, Canelo is hoping to secure a mammoth rematch with Crawforddespite the American’s retirement.
On Halloween night, Canelo Alvarez defeated Christian Mbilli to become a three-time super-middleweight world champion, and now the question is: outside of Terence Crawford, can any other boxer defeat Canelo at 168?
When Christian Mbilli entered the ring to face Canelo Alvarez, a reasonable number of boxing pundits thought Mbilli was going to pull off the upset. Alvarez has a history of stamina issues, and many assumed Mbilli could take advantage.
The idea was for Mbilli to overwhelm Canelo with his high-volume punching, wear him down, take over in the later rounds, and win a close decision. Unfortunately for Mbilli, the bout didn’t go that way.
Canelo Alvarez was able to dictate the range and the pace of the fight. Canelo’s defense was sharp, his stamina was good, and on offense he dominated the action with skillful counterpunching and pinpoint accuracy.
Mbilli fought the wrong type of fight, as most of the bout took place at mid-range as opposed to close quarters. Mbilli gave Canelo too much respect, and on multiple occasions he looked confused.
Christian Mbilli was severely outclassed, and because of that, the fight looked like a glorified sparring session. As a result of the bout, Canelo Alvarez (64-3-2, 39 KOs) is the new WBC super-middleweight world champion.
The sport of boxing is based on levels, and on the night of October 31st, Canelo Alvarez proved he was levels above Christian Mbilli. Now fight fans are wondering: are any of the current top super-middleweights close to being on Canelo’s level?
Terence “Bud” Crawford defeated Canelo Alvarez with his skill set and his ring IQ. None of the top super-middleweights have a skill set compatible with Crawford’s, and none of them come close to Crawford when it comes to ring intelligence.
With that being said, one would ask, outside of a rematch with Crawford, what would be the ideal fight for Canelo at 168? If Terence Crawford can’t be convinced to come out of retirement, then Hamzah Sheeraz is probably the best candidate.
The former WBO world champion Hamzah Sheeraz is a 6-foot-3-inch super-middleweight who is skilled, and he can effectively fight from long range. On Halloween night, Sheeraz was ringside analyzing the fight.
Back in July 2025, Hamzah Sheeraz looked sharp as he stopped Edgar Berlanga in the 5th round. A year later, Sheeraz had a lackluster performance, as he scored a majority decision victory over Simon Zachenhuber.
Now Hamzah Sheeraz (24-0-1, 19 KOs) appears to be the frontrunner in regards to facing Canelo in 2027. If Sheeraz doesn’t get the match, then Canelo may choose to fight one of the other champions at 168.
