Ryan Garcia vs Rolly Romero prediction

Ryan Garcia vs Rolly Romero is arguably a firefight between two power punchers.

Romero has tremendous power in his shots and can put anyone down. For Garcia, it's a combination of speed and power. His left hook is one of the best in the game and if he can land it clean, it's hard for any fighter to stand up to it.

Garcia is arguably more technical and has shown he can take big shots and bounce back. Romero, on the other hand, can be staggered when hit clean.

It will be about which fighter can land their own blows while avoiding the others. Garcia is more elusive and defensively sound. Even if he gets caught, he might just be better at adjusting and planning his approach for the rest of the fight.

'KingRy' and Romero might turn the heat on early with Garcia walking out of the contest with a knockout win.

Winner: Ryan Garcia by knockout
