Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando Romero: Boxing record, age, height, weight, reach, and knockout ratio

With the fight just a day away, a Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando Romero is well overdue. The two men compete over the vacant WBA (Regular) welterweight title. However, there's more than a championship belt on the line. For Garcia, it is a return from disgrace, and his chance to redeem himself.

Meanwhile, Romero has been on a spotty run of form after being undefeated for most of his career. He is 2-2 in his last four fights, and will be chasing his first win streak since 2021. Although both men are known for their power, they're wildly different fighters.

So, exactly how different are they?

Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando Romero fight analysis and prediction

The Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando Romero fight is likely to end in only one way: a stoppage. To 'Rolly's' misfortune, he'll be on the receiving end of it. He has a tendency to lunge into range with his power punches, leading with his chin as he never moved his head off the center-line.

Garcia, who is far too quick and powerful, will eventually catch Romero with a dynamite left hook for a late knockout.
