A fight between Ryan Garcia and Rolando Romero has been brewing for years.
Ultimately, this will not be the first time these two have met face-to-face. In 2018, Garcia and Romero had an intense sparring session that is currently available on YouTube for free.
In the video, Garcia couldn't take Romero at range, which made him look super uncomfortable. Romero spoke about that fight and suggested he beat the s*** out of Garcia both days they sparred. He got some bragging rights, but a lot has changed since then.
That was eight years ago.
Meanwhile, in 2023, Garcia called out Romero after he defeated Oscar Duarte, but neither boxer took on the challenge of fighting the other. Of course, Garcia was suspended for a year due to using performance enhancing drugs, but he's back and will try to establish himself as a top-tier boxer again.
On May 3, when Pitbull Cruz pulled out of his fight against Garcia, Romero decided to step in and fight Garcia. Ultimately, these two boxers don't have an insane amount of hatred anymore. But this boxing bout should be super enjoyable between two boxers who have been incredible throughout their careers.
Currently, Ryan Garcia is -1200 on the moneyline. Over the last 24 hours, the probability for Garcia to win continues to rise.

Ryan Garcia vs. Rolly Romero Prediction
Ryan Garcia, who turned 26 in January, has already become the face of boxing. He's 24-1 and has earned 20 knockouts in his professional career.
Tonight, he'll battle Rolando Romero, who has gone 16-2 with 13 knockouts. Romero is three years old, but Garcia has a two-inch height and reach advantage.
Romero is more aggressive, and his connections are usually dangerous. However, Garcia has super quick hands and a left hook that can do absolute damage.
While Romoero has vicious power, he also has some defensive vulnerabilities that Garcia can maximize. Garcia's speed and timing can certainly take advantage of Romoero's defensive mistakes.
Therefore, it's more likely that Garcia will add a knockout in the mid-to-late rounds, when Romero finally gives in and makes an aggressive mistake, which Garcia can capitalize on.
At FanDuel, you can find Garcia to win by KO/TKO at -350 odds. This is a much better price than the -1200 price for Garcia to win outright. Garcia has 24 wins, and 20 are by knockout.
