Ideally, the initial plan was for Ryan Garcia as well as Devin Haney to emerge victorious in their respective matches and meet for a highly hyped rematch later in the year.

Ryan Garcia suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Rolando “Rolly” Romero on Friday night in Times Square, losing on points in his first fight since returning from a one-year doping ban.
