Rolando Romero Brushes Off Ryan Garcia's Criticism Ahead of Isaac Cruz Showdown
In the lead-up to his upcoming bout against Isaac Cruz, Rolando Romero finds himself once again entangled in discussions revolving around Ryan Garcia. Set to defend his WBA junior welterweight title against Cruz on March 30, Romero's attention has frequently been drawn to Garcia, despite their fight never coming to fruition. Garcia's critical remarks about Romero's fighting skills on social media were brought up during a virtual press conference, prompting Romero's response. "As far as Ryan Garcia, I am fighting a much more exciting fighter now," Romero remarked, alluding to Cruz. "Why do we even care what he has to say?" Romero's return to the ring follows a controversial victory over Ismael Barroso last May, which led to a world title shot. Cruz, transitioning from lightweight to junior welterweight for their upcoming bout, represents a significant challenge for Romero. In addressing Garcia's comments, Romero pointed to Garcia's erratic behavior online. "I mean, at the end of it, he is going through stuff," Romero noted. "He doesn’t know who is with him and who is against him. That’s on him." With a focus on his upcoming fight against Cruz, Romero emphasized the magnitude of the event. "We have a massive fight that we are going to do March 30," he stated. "And [Garcia] is still butt-hurt that I didn’t fight him and I decided to give 'Pitbull' the opportunity to fight. He can go fuck off." Romero's statements reflect his determination to concentrate on the task at hand and dismiss distractions, including lingering comments from Garcia. #RolandoRomero #IsaacCruz #RyanGarcia #Boxing #WBA #JuniorWelterweight
