Ryan Garcia’s “Unrepired” camp: Shakur Stevenson breaks down the loss of Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero

Shakur Stevenson believes that Ryan Garcia did not “prepare” properly for his fight against Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero on May 2 in Times Square in New York. He thinks the training camp was not a “good” for Ryan (24-2, 20 ko), and maybe there was no “enough time” to prepare it for the Slugger Rolly (17-2, 13 kos).

Rolly Romero’s struggle analysis

The judges marked him 115-112, 118-109 and 115-112. Of these, 118-109 was the most accurate score of the three to describe what took place in the fight that night. Garcia was completely shy after being demolished in the second round and did almost nothing against a very limited roll for the last nine rounds of the contest.

It was a hard struggle to take Garcia, coming out of a 13 -month dismissal against a great punch like Rolly. It seemed like a younger average weight after rehydrating -and Garcia seemed much smaller. Party manufacturers may have overestimated what Ryan was able to do after his victory over Devin Haney in 2024.

“I was not too angry with Devin and Teo because it seemed that they really trained. It seemed like they went out there and they formed for this struggle,” said Shakur Stevenson a Dazn boxSpeaking of the Square Square Card of May 2, in which Devin Haney and Teophimo Lopez became boring performances.

Ryan Garcia’s bad preparation

“I don’t think Ryan Garcia gave the best version of Ryan Garcia. I don’t think he was formed. I don’t think he was preparing. I don’t think there was a training camp at the place that prepared him for the fight,” Stevenson said about Ryan’s headline against Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero. “If it were like that wasn’t good and it didn’t spend much time. I couldn’t have been.”

Garcia may have had a good camp, but he was unable to deal with the size and power of a fighter like Romero. This guy was like cryptonite for his style of struggle.
