I just looked into it and it is true that Turki has prepared some fights and Romero himself was previously the WBA junior welterweight title holder, but I think it is still too early to be able to beat Ryan Garcia, I don't know what Turki goals is for this fight he is planning and there must be certain goals and I sure it is not for money.
On the other hand, Haney who was rumored to fight Ryan Garcia also got fight against Jose Ramirez, from these two fights it seems that Haney vs Jose Ramirez will be much more interesting than Garcia vs Romero.
His goal is for this two to set up a huge fight, but first they will have to go to a tune fight, with Ryan fighting Rolly Romero and then it was reported that Haney will be fighting former champion Ramirez.

So it's a double header, and if they win their respective fight then it's all go for Haney vs Garcia II. Obviously there are big risk as Ryan will have to go against a very hard nose fighter in Pitbull and he is pure offense.

On Haney's side, he will have to fight it out against a former 2 belt champion in Ramirez. And he also has be battles the mental demons of losing to Ryan Garcia and going down in canvass several times.
There is just risk from this fight, if Haney or Garcia have problems like injuries then it will clearly be very detrimental even though both are unlikely to experience something like that, what is clear is that after this fight both will have more emotions to meet soon and we will see fairly heated hype between Haney vs Garcia in the future.
Turki really made crazy card and in the rematch later what do you think whether Haney or Garcia will get the victory but for their fight hopefully there will be no drama that will happen and in the fight against Romero Garcia can be used as warm-up after receiving one-year ban.

For all Keith Thurman fans, he will have his comeback fight but it's not what we expected though, I mean he will be fighting a Australian, and his name his Brock Jarvis.



So let's see if he still has it, he said that he has been out for 3 years, but he still have it as what he says. Obviously, he wants a less risk as his comeback fight. However, ring rust will definitely has a negative effect on him.

It's March 12, remember though that this fight is in Australia, and we all know that they have history of home cook decision.

You gonna love those big mouth of Keith Thurman though.

Yup, we all know how they play their game in terms of making decision, he needs to make sure that he got a big edge or if he can KO his opponents then it's much better to secure the win. Might be possible that the fight will be more interesting as Thurman needs that KO to secure the win though surely on his opponent's side it's a pride fighting in front of his own crowd he'll do his best to bring his name up.

Let see if what Thurman and Jarvis will offer to viewers and gamblers that will watch and bets on their upcoming fights..
I do agree that this somewhat is a very surprising fight for Thurman and I thought that he had retire for good as he was not the same in terms of mindset and his body is giving out already with multiple injuries if I'm not mistaken. Although we can give it up to him for running his mouth and really know how to promote the fight. We would forget how he describe Pacquiao back then, that Manny has short limbs and compare it to T-Rex, lol. But that short hand knock him down and defeated him. So I do not think that even if he wins here, he will suddenly be back in the action at this division. But I wouldn't be surprised if he is going to lose this one as again, he doesn't have the fire inside of him, and what will motivate him to go back again in the ring as his age?

I think Thurman is done already, not sure why he made a comeback after 3 years, maybe he still has a fight in his contract or whatever. But I think he doesn't have it anymore and being content behind the scene like being a boxing analyst because of knows how to talk. And probably one of the boxers that Pacquiao destroyed for good and took his soul after he beat him. Similar to Ricky Hatton or worst Antonio Margarito who is never the same again after Pacquiao humble them.

Probably a good payday for him to go to Australia and fight Brock Jarvis. But this could be his last fight if Brock will put up a show and destroy Thurman here. Keith might have that power, but if he is rusty because of his long layoff, I doubt that it will just suddenly came back to him.

And the landscape of 140 lbs has really change since Keith has left.

^^ I think it's a wise move by Turki himself to allow Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney to have a tune up fight first,



https://x.com/ESPNRingside/status/1881825337354420735

Although I also though that it will be Pitbull Isaac Cruz initially for Ryan Garcia. But I guess the risk is very high for him to fight a bigger puncher in Cruz and  that's why they settle for a punching bag like Rolly Romero. Who still I think can bring more in the fight as well as he loves to trash talk and it's going to be funny to see this two in the face off talking trash against each other.

Turki just announced that Ryan will be fighting Rolly Romero. I thought Pitbull would have been competitive against Ryan, but they have chosen a much easier opponent instead. I don’t know if it was because of the weight they would be fighting at or if they didn’t want Pitbull to derail Haney vs. Garcia, but they have switched opponent.

Rolly has never been a good fighter and I don’t expect him to be competitive, unless he can land a lucky punch with his reckless fighting style. Both fighters are mentally unstable so the build up will be interesting to follow. The card overall is very good with Haney fighting in the co-main against Jose Ramirez and Martin Bakole fighting Efe Ajagba in a heavyweight eliminator.

I just spoke of a possible Ryan Garcia vs Teo Lopez fight this year, however, it seems that Ryan will have rematch with Devin Haney,

Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney on the brink of a deal for trilogy series

Quote
The fighters have already signed off on a non-binding memo of deal points crafted by Saudi Arabia’s events company Sela.

The top priority to move things forward now is for Garcia to enroll in a more than year-long comprehensive drug testing program supervised by an agency he has often criticized, the Nevada-based Voluntary Anti-Doping Association.

Believing that Garcia will do so, Haney had his attorney move Wednesday to put a 90-day hold on Haney’s multi-million-dollar lawsuit against Garcia that alleged battery, among other claims, connected to the dispute over their prior bout.

So not just for the rematch, but they are talking about a possible third fight.

There is a condition though, but if they really wanted to settle their differences inside the ring and at the same time makes a lot of money because again, the powerful Saudi broker will be in the middle, then this fight is going to be made this year.


Ryan Garcia is expected to return this May, but it will be against Pitbull Cruz,



https://x.com/RyanGarcia/status/1880355301653991498

And if everything goes as play, then him and Haney will be setup in October. Also reported is Haney going to fight Ramirez.

So it's going to be big for this two, a Garcia vs Haney rematch and possible trilogy if Haney wins the second fight.

I very much like this fight and King Ry also knows what type of opponent to choose heheheh. I reckon this fight will be on a catchweight? We have witnessed already that King Ry has much difficulties on reducing his weight to 135 and 140 pounds.

In any case, Pitbull's tactic is very much similar to Mike Tyson, however, this is without the footwork and Mike Tyson's head movement. We can be quite certain that the left hook of King Ry will punch Pitbull's jaw and give him a knock out heheheh.

I don't know if this is going to be in catch weight or not, but as you have said, Ryan Garcia has shows that he has problems making 140 lbs, so let's see. Who knows, there could be rehydration clause and what's not on this fight. But still a good fight, we all know that style makes fight and so I think Pitbull head movement could pose a problem on Ryan early.

Yeah, it will really be a challenge for Ryan here, but Pitbull is small so that might be Ryan's advantage as he will target a smaller but moving boxer. An sooner or later he will caught him, and maybe we can see a knockout or stoppage win for Ryan if he timed Pitbull's in and out movement.

I am very much quite certain that King Ry will not agree to another rehydration clause again after his experience on the fight against the scammer Tank Davis. This will be on 140 pounds without rehydration clause or a catchweight also without a rehydration clause. King Ry after his victory against Devin Haney will be on the higher side of the negotiation table.

On Pitbull, he is not small. He is only short, however, his body has much muscles that are bigger that King Ry's muscles. Pitbull will be very certainly appear similar to Mike Tyson on catchweight. I speculate that King Ry is also having an expectation that Pitbull will be slower on catchweight. This will be easier to punch his jaw with King Ry's left hook.

Yeah, he could be the A-side on every fight moving forward, although he has no belt around him, he usually has a lot of fans that can go and willing to purchase expensive tickets or buy his PPV just to watch Ryan fight.

Pitbull body frame is very much different, but I think he can still squeeze that 140 lbs on his body. And it will be like a target practice for Ryan here, or we might see a display of his hand speed once again. So probably the strategy is to let Pitbull come inside and then Ryan will time him going and catch with that left hook of his. That is the main weapon of Ryan. Although he might have to be very careful of the overhand right of Pitbull as he might be caught by surprise by the power of Isaac Cruz.

And there should be no catchweight, 140 lbs it is.

The championship is very much needed for those boxers who do not have a big name to collect a bigger purse than what they will be receiving without a championship. There are also those boxers who need an undefeated record to collect a bigger purse very much similar to the scammer Tank Davis. If this boxer is knocked out by King Ry and thrown on a stretcher, we can very much be certain that his purse will go down.

On King Ry, he has become a boxer who does not need a belt or an undefeated record to receive a bigger purse. He has certainly become someone similar to Conor Gregor.

As much as I want to believed that they are chasing greatness, sure enough this boxers are really looking for their biggest paycheck. Canelo is called a cash cow because of that, he used to have a huge contract with DAZN and then going on changing promoters from promoters and try to get the most of us his contract. Crawford is good but he is not a cash cow as he can't draw crowd.

So for me, he is looking for this fight because he wanted to get more money. Even his previous promoter says that they've lost money on him because as much as he is good, something is missing from him. There is this charisma, the likes of Floyd and Manny and then Canelo only have to draw fans to watch their fight even if the tickets is expensive. As for the case of Manny and Canelo they have their whole country behind them.

I will agree to that assessment as both are aging and surely their respective camps understand the needs of larger paychecks, and like what you mentioned, Canelo knows how to play the game and understand what's behind it, money matter, both camps will gain decent as fans and gamblers will take it both for gambling and entertainment.

Let see if how Canelo will carry their fights and bring money to the promoters who knows, maybe they'll be able to hook fans and allow rematch or more..

I don't remember if we have discussed a fight between Darren Till vs Tom Fury. However, Tom Fury pulled out of the fight and Anthony Taylor replace him.



If was a dominant win by Till, he was the bigger and sharper between the two. He scored, three knockdowns before the referee wave off the fight as it was a complete mismatch. Although there were moments wherein it looks like Taylor is going to make a comeback but Till just eat all those shots.

https://www.boxingscene.com/with-errol-spence-jnr-out-sebastian-fundora-to-turn-to-others-and-likely-march-29-date--201308

So it's for health reasons, and it seems though that his defeat from the hands of Crawford really took everything from Spence. The mental damage that he suffered from that fight might still haunt him up to this day.

Spence will receive a lot of criticism but at the end of the day it was the right decision to make. It was always dangerous to return to the sport after suffering that car accident. He already suffered a retina injury and had cataract surgery last year. He has never fully recovered from that accident and his physical condition has deteriorated. We could see in the Crawford fight that he is not the same. He was also beaten very badly in that fight.

And sometimes you really have to think what Floyd said before, "health comes first", and that horrific car accident might really put a mental toll on him, and he said that he is very lucky to survived the crash and has been given second life.

Fundora has a lot of options as 154 lbs, although it make sense for him to chase Spence as this is where the money fight it. Maybe he can wait for the winner of Madrimov vs Vergil Ortiz. Or he himself takes a light and tune up fight. There is also a rising star in this weight category in Xander Zayas, so that will also be a great fight for any champion at this weight class.

If he is not ready now, the time away for the ring will also affect him. If he ever comes back, he should first take an easy tune up fight to see what level he is at. I really don’t believe he will be champion again and it would be better to retire, but fighters can be stubborn and still insist on fighting when they are in no condition to do so.

Let's talk about Spence, I thought that he will make a comeback fight and go after the unified 154 lbs in Fundora. And Fundora is very much interested to defend his belt, however, Spence back out on the last minute.

Quote
In an interview with BoxingScene’s Tris Dixon in June, Spence laid bare the struggles he has endured from both the Crawford loss and a harrowing crash of his Ferrari in 2019.

“I definitely worry about [brain trauma], have checkups all the time and always … get scans and all type of stuff just to make sure I’m on point,” Spence said. “Not too many people go high speed in a Ferrari and get thrown, land on solid concrete and still be here to talk today, still survive, still be coherent. That was traumatic and a brutal experience that I went through. It was definitely serious.”

So it's for health reasons, and it seems though that his defeat from the hands of Crawford really took everything from Spence. The mental damage that he suffered from that fight might still haunt him up to this day.

I just spoke of a possible Ryan Garcia vs Teo Lopez fight this year, however, it seems that Ryan will have rematch with Devin Haney,

Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney on the brink of a deal for trilogy series

Quote
The fighters have already signed off on a non-binding memo of deal points crafted by Saudi Arabia’s events company Sela.

The top priority to move things forward now is for Garcia to enroll in a more than year-long comprehensive drug testing program supervised by an agency he has often criticized, the Nevada-based Voluntary Anti-Doping Association.

Believing that Garcia will do so, Haney had his attorney move Wednesday to put a 90-day hold on Haney’s multi-million-dollar lawsuit against Garcia that alleged battery, among other claims, connected to the dispute over their prior bout.

So not just for the rematch, but they are talking about a possible third fight.

There is a condition though, but if they really wanted to settle their differences inside the ring and at the same time makes a lot of money because again, the powerful Saudi broker will be in the middle, then this fight is going to be made this year.


Ryan Garcia is expected to return this May, but it will be against Pitbull Cruz,

And if everything goes as play, then him and Haney will be setup in October. Also reported is Haney going to fight Ramirez.

So it's going to be big for this two, a Garcia vs Haney rematch and possible trilogy if Haney wins the second fight.

I very much like this fight and King Ry also knows what type of opponent to choose heheheh. I reckon this fight will be on a catchweight? We have witnessed already that King Ry has much difficulties on reducing his weight to 135 and 140 pounds.

In any case, Pitbull's tactic is very much similar to Mike Tyson, however, this is without the footwork and Mike Tyson's head movement. We can be quite certain that the left hook of King Ry will punch Pitbull's jaw and give him a knock out heheheh.

Yes, he really knows who to face to in his comeback, to make him good before getting Haney in the last quarter of the year. Depends though, Cruz has been campaigning at 140 lbs already and at one point a champion. I would like for Ryan to face him at the designated 140 lbs so that he will silent all his doubters specially on the allege PED used. And it will make him legit to face Haney at 140 lbs.

Tank said that Pitbull's head is very tough, so let's see if Ryan can crack that open and score a knockdown. He lost his belt to Valenzuela and won against Fierro. So he himself is on the comeback trail and so he needed this opportunity. But I'm not seeing him defeating Garcia, so Ryan for me in a unanimous decision and then set his eyes on Devin Haney.

I don't know if this is going to be in catch weight or not, but as you have said, Ryan Garcia has shows that he has problems making 140 lbs, so let's see. Who knows, there could be rehydration clause and what's not on this fight. But still a good fight, we all know that style makes fight and so I think Pitbull head movement could pose a problem on Ryan early.

Yeah, it will really be a challenge for Ryan here, but Pitbull is small so that might be Ryan's advantage as he will target a smaller but moving boxer. An sooner or later he will caught him, and maybe we can see a knockout or stoppage win for Ryan if he timed Pitbull's in and out movement.
