Rolando “Rolly” Romero says it is not sure how much fans will be interested in the rematch of Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney 2 after what happened last Friday. Romero (17-2, 13 KO) could spoil the things for these two, beating Ryan to a 12-round unanimous decision last Friday evening at the Times Square event in Modern York.

Impact of the rematch
Romero claims that the low output power for both warriors will make it arduous to get “High adhesion” For the Garcia-Haney rematch. Ryan only threw 210 blows in his fight against Rolly. Haney threw 224 at his hopeless 12-round unanimous decision against Jose Ramirez in the factor.
Ryan did not rule out a rematch with Haney in October. He said he would leave it to fans. It is compelling that he does not support himself, trying to avenge his loss with Romero. This says that Garcia is not convinced that he can win.
This knocking out in the second round that Rolly suffered, he tried in him because he felt his power and did nothing for the rest of the fight. I think Kingry knows if he is fighting Rolando again, he would be beaten and his chances of fighting Haney would darken.
“I don’t think I broke my plans because they are still adamant in a rematch,” said Romero Warrior Asked if he thinks that Devin Haney vs. plans Ryan Garcia was broken by his victory over Kingry last Friday. “I don’t know how much adhesion it will achieve, considering that both fighters had the lowest output to hit.”
Turki Alalshikh did not say a word about whether he is still interested in the fight of Garcia vs. Haney 2. He will decide. If he still wants to see these two fights in October, Ryan will not say “no”. Haney still wants to fight because it is his biggest payment day. It is not built to compete with the best welterweight, such as Jaron “Boots” Ennis or Brian Norman Jr., so he wants this great day against Ryan. Whatever happens after his career breaks out, it doesn’t matter. He earns money in retirement.
“I think they should do it again. I helped them promote the fight. I kept saying that they should have a rematch,” Rolly said about Ryan and Devin. “I just went there to whip Ryan ** and get a belt. [Garcia-Haney 2] And completely forget who is in the fight. “
It was a bad way to promote Garcia vs. Romero, talking about a rematch with Haney during construction. They treated Rolly, as if he were simply a prop of Garcia to knock out on the way to a rematch with Haney.
Paycheck Fighters?
“Look at it. Everyone fought for another payment,” Rolls said about the Times Square card with Ryan, Devin and Teofimo Lopez, who move in, putting a minimal effort. “Ryan tried to win for a while. He was broken. He changed.” I will fight for another payment. ” They all fight for another payment.
It looked as if Ryan, Haney and Teofimo just fought for their gigantic bags and think about the next day of payment. Lopez showed the whole fight, landing almost nothing and trying not to be hit. His fight was as lifeless as Haney, and it was obvious that he was only there for money.
“I’m not fighting for money. You can’t buy me,” said Romero. “Do you think Shakur is worth something he is asking for?
Canelo Alvarez was another of the fighters who did not make any effort. He looked like he was fighting in the fight against William Scull on May 3.
“I know that Benavidez defeats his **. I know that Benavidez is not fighting for a check. He is fighting because he wants to win. This is the difference. This is the destruction of this sport. People are overpaid for what they do not deserve,” said Rolls, “said Rolly

Devin Haney still on Keyshawn Davis’ radar after victory

Keyshawn Davis says he still doesn’t know why a fight never broke out with Devin Haney after talks between both camps earlier this year.
Davis was talking about Haney after he dominated Nahir Albright for 12 rounds on Saturday night in Norfolk. Although Keyshawn won a wide unanimous decision over Albright, he later admitted that he had been in bigger fights before the rematch was finalized.
“I went up to Bill in January and he told me to keep my word after the fight,” Keyshawn later told the media. “Why it didn’t happen, I don’t know.”
Davis also revealed that he tried to secure fights with Lamont Roach Jr. and Oscar Duarte before returning to fight Albright.
“I was on the phone with Lamont Roach trying to make this happen,” Davis said. “I also tried to contact Oscar Duarte.”
The Norfolk native made it clear after the fight that he viewed a rematch with Albright as an inferior option compared to the opponents he originally wanted.
“I wanted to fight a better opponent,” Davis said. “He’s actually a decent player. He’s just not at the highest level.”
Davis dominated most of the rematch despite a two-point deduction after Albright hit the clinch in the seventh round. He controlled the action with faster hands, cleaner combinations and stronger work towards the end of the fight.
After the victory, Davis reiterated that he is open to more fights with bigger names.
“Whoever wants to fight the businessman, let them do it,” Davis said.

Filip Hrgovic sends a direct warning to Moses Itauma after stopping Dave Allen in 3 rounds

Filip Hrgovic made it basic for Dave Allen and took advantage of the moments after the fight to send a chilling message to rising star Moses Itauma.
Doncaster fans were unable to lift hometown hero Allen to the level of Hrgovic, who dominated from the opening bell until coach Jamie Moore threw in the towel to spare his players another day.
Croatian Hrgovic quickly apologized to the fans in the stadium.
“I’m sorry guys. I know I’m not the favorite guy here. That’s the way it is, that’s boxing. Thank you to Dave Allen, his team, Queensberry and DAZN for this event. I’m pushing forward to become the heavyweight champion of the world.
“I started quickly because I saw all my punches connecting. He was very awkward from the beginning, so I wanted to finish him quickly to make a statement.”
Hrgovic then immediately focused on what would come after three dominant rounds and weighed in on the matter there are rumors that he will soon have the opportunity to face Itauma in August.
“I want to fight anyone in the division. Moses, anyone. I just have to sit down with the manager and the team, see if there are any injuries or cuts. Give me a mirror, I’ll sign a contract now… I never run away from any opponent… Listen, if I’m fit, there’s no problem for me. We have to see what’s going on. I need to rest. Moses will never make it to the promised land. Do you know what I mean?”
Promoter George Warren has made it clear that Itauma-Hrgovic is the target, but he is aware that the next few days will be crucial to see if the schedule is right for the Croatian, who had a miniature cut on his skin before going to the towel.
“Yes, we can… This fight is already here. Finished. Filip, when he re-signed with Queensberry, was left on the contract on the basis that this fight was one of the options we could offer him. As he said, he has a slight scratch in his eye and he needs to go and make sure everything is OK.
“Moses is booked for August. As soon as we get back to the office next week, that’s my job. To finish and announce this fight. This guy is a world-class operator and if Moses wants to be world champion, Filip wants to be world champion; they’re going to have to deal with it at some point, so let’s deal with it now.”

Kelvin Davis escapes by split decision over Peter Dobson

Welterweight Kelvin Davis (16-1, 8 KO) escaped with a split decision victory over Peter Dobson (17-4, 10 KO) after a hard-fought 10-round fight that drew noisy boos from the crowd after the result was announced. The judges scored it 99-91 and 97-93 for Davis, while the third judge scored it 98-92 for Dobson.
Davis boxed effectively early on, using his jab, foot movement and reach to keep Dobson out and gain the advantage in the early rounds. Dobson had difficulty getting close enough to land consistently in the first half of the fight as Davis remained disciplined and chose areas with cleaner strikes.
Dobson had more success in the second half of the fight, getting inside and landing to the body. As the action became increasingly brutal and physical, Davis spent more time on the ropes and in clinches.
Dobson’s aggression and work in the middle helped put an end to the fight, and a few delayed rounds proved challenging to score. Davis continued to land enough pointed counters and straight shots to convince the two judges that he had done enough to secure the victory.
Many fans online and in the arena reacted negatively to the decision, especially due to the wide score of 99-91 in favor of Davis. Several unofficial scorecards indicated that the fight was much closer together, and some viewers felt that Dobson did enough to force a draw or provide an advantage in the decision.
