Image: "Throw Some Punches!": Rolly Romero Reveals Turki's Desperate Corner Plea to a Listless Ryan Garcia

Rolando “Rolly” Romero says that Turks Alalshikh went to the corner of Ryan Garcia during their fight last Friday, trying to motivate him, telling him “Throw a few blows.“Ryan (24-2, 20 KO) did not try to win. Romero (17-2, 13 KO) won the 12-round unanimous decision at Times Square in Recent York.

Garcia’s defeat destroyed Turk’s plans regarding the rematch with Devin Haney in October. According to the promoter Eddie, Hearna intended to meet in the ring after the fight for the rematch. When Ryan lost, these plans were broken.

Turki’s corner accusation

“Turks went to him in the corner and said,” What are you doing? “Tell a blow,” Romero said to Danza project About how he says that Turks Alalshikh went to the corner of Ryan Garcia during their fight to encourage him to fight harder last Friday evening at Times Square. “You can’t, ancient.”

It sounds bad that Turki went to the corner of Ryan to speak him. It seems that he gave him one of them, typical speeches to undermine the back of Garcia.

“I will tell you this. Ryan defeats Devina again. Ryan goes to the winning run. You can simply say that Ryan goes to the winning run because Ryan is an amazing warrior. They were two terrible,” Rolls said about Devin Haney’s fight with Jose Ramiez last Friday

Garcia will probably defeat Haney again because he has power and size to knock him out. He would just have to come up with a way to get to Haney for landing because he would move all the time.

“I couldn’t even watch Devin’s fight. I warmed up on the back. I didn’t want to sleep on the way to the arena. These guys don’t have a free win because they already have another fights,” Rolly said.

Turki made a mistake, including Haney’s card, where a lot of fans would see him. It would be better to put him on a smaller card and bury his fight below, where a huge number of fans would not see him. The only way to put it on the card last Friday is that he would be adapted to the killer in the fight against fastening or breaking.

Haney and Canelo hit

“Yes, when you overpay the fighters, telling them that” no matter what happens, whether you win or lose, you will still fight. ” You just won all your will.

Haney looked like Jose Ramirez last Friday. It had nothing to do with Devin looking at the next control. He looked shaken and 100% nervously hit, because it seemed that he lost his confidence in his ability to make a demanding shot.

“All these people are fighting, and Canelo is also included in it; they are fighting for the next control. They don’t fight for the master. They don’t fight for winning. They fight for the next control,” said Romero.

The penniless performances of Ryan, Haney and Canelo were not just because they fought for the next control. At the beginning, Garcia and Haney are not the most current fighters. So, to look faint, it should not be a shock because they are fighters like in the middle of the road.

They were look better than actually by fitting, and in case Haneya is doubtful. Canelo is simply ancient and washed. He was able to continue his career in preparing, avoiding unsafe warriors such as David Benavidez and David Morrell.

Shakur Stevenson Challenges Devin Haney to Step Up Against KO Champion: You Have No Other Option

"Shakur Stevenson Challenges Devin Haney to Step Up Against KO Champion: 'You Have No Other Option'"

Devin Haney is currently searching for his next opponent and Shakur Stevenson believes there is only one option for him.

Haney hasn’t fought since becoming a three-division world champion when he defeated Brian Norman Jr by unanimous decision to win the WBO welterweight title back in November.

He has been rumoured to face a number of opponents since then, including Stevenson himself, but it looked like ‘The Dream’ would finally settle on a mandatory showdown with Keyshawn Davis after Top Rank won the purse bid for the clash last week.

Those plans went up in smoke when Davis pulled out of the contest, and Stevenson has explained why he thinks Haney now must target a battle against unified super-welterweight champion Jaron Ennis.

“You said you’d fight Conor Benn? You said you’d find Xander. Why the f**k you don’t say you want to fight Boots now? Matter of fact, you’ve got no other option.

“There’s nobody else on the table. There’s no me, there’s no Key[shawn Davis]there’s no Rolly. Who do you go to? Boots is free. Go get him.”

Ennis previously became unified champion at welterweight before moving up to 154lbs, making an instant impact in the new division when he stopped Xander Zayas in June to win the WBA and WBO super-welterweight titles.

It remains to be seen whether Haney would have any interest in moving up in weight to take on Ennis, with ‘Boots’ also having been linked to fights against IBF champion Josh Kelly, and fellow unbeaten star Vergil Ortiz.

New World Champion Aims to Follow Canelo and Golovkin as Top Middleweight

"New World Champion Aims to Follow Canelo and Golovkin as Top Middleweight"

A newly-crowned world champion believes he has what it takes to follow in the footsteps of Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin by becoming the best middleweight fighter on the planet.

Canelo and Golovkin each ruled the 160lb division for a number of years, culminating in two middleweight battles between the pair and one at super-middleweight.

While ‘GGG’ may have last competed in 2022, Canelo remains active, but now fights at super-middleweight, opening the door for a fighter to step up and become the top dog in the middleweight division.

One man who believes he can do just that is Aaron McKenna, who won the vacant IBF middleweight title with a unanimous decision win over Etinosa Oliha in Dublin on Saturday.

Speaking to Sky Sports following that win, McKenna explained how he has ambitions to pick up where the likes of Canelo and Golovkin left off.

“It doesn’t matter [who’s next]whoever wants it. I’m easy to find now, I have a belt. There’s no hiding any more. I want to collect every single belt in boxing. I’m the best middleweight and super-middleweight in the world. I don’t mind jumping up.

“The middleweight division’s there to be took over. It’s been dying for years since GGG (Golovkin) and Canelo left it. I said it again, a year ago, I think I’m going to be the man to take it over.”

The other world champions at 160lbs may have a thing or two to say about McKenna’s plan, as Denzel Bentley is the current WBO champion, Carlos Adamas holds the WBC belt, and Erislandy Lara is the WBA titleholder.
