Devin Haney Haunted by Lawsuit Woes as Rolly Romero Clears Stance on Ryan Garcia Ostarine Debacle

Nearly a year after the Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney fight, the pair is on a collision course with each other. According to recent updates, both Garcia and Haney are slated to fight on a May 2nd card in New York. ‘King Ry’ will go toe-to-toe with Rolly Romero and Devin Haney will square off against Jose Ramirez.

In the meantime, former lightweight champion Romero has shared his thoughts on the aftermath of the Garcia-Haney fight. After defeating Haney last April, Garcia tested positive for Ostarine in both his A and B samples, which resulted in the New York State Athletic Commission suspending him from the sport for a year.

His purse for the fight was taken away, and to add insult to injury, Haney sued the Victorville native, alleging fraud, battery, and breach of contract. Now, both fighters have to secure a win over their opponents this May to get their rematch on the road, which is being planned for October later this year.

the promoter for Ryan Garcia, has stated that a rematch will only be possible if Devin Haney withdraws his lawsuit against Garcia and his promotional company. Regardless, while appearing in an interview with Fight Hype recently, Romero dismissed any worries about Garcia’s ostarine debacle, while putting the blame squarely on Haney.

“No,” said Romero when asked whether he was worried about Garcia’s previous positive doping results. “The thing is, nobody’s gonna take some s**t the week of their fight.” He speculated that “they take it throughout their camp or like early camp. They don’t take it the week of the fight, it doesn’t make sense.”

As far as Romero is concerned, “None of that s**t matters.” From Romero’s point of view, “Devin got his a** whooped because Devin f**king can’t take a shot and Ryan walked his a** down [by] landing left hooks.” He blamed the entire game plan the Haneys had to knock out Garcia, which resulted in Devin’s downfall. “It was just a s**t game plan,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, Rolly Romero has shared his thoughts on Garcia’s abilities since their sparring.

Rolly Romero promises to beat up Ryan Garcia

Romero and Garcia aren’t strangers, the pair have sparred each other at least twice during the early days of their career. With their fight announced for May, Rolly was asked about his thoughts on the improvements Garcia has made over the years. While Romero praised Garcia’s advanced skills, he promised a knockout finish.

Ryan became a way better fighter,” Romero told Fight Hype during the same interview. “He works the body more, he’s always had that left hook. He’s like I said, he’s a tremendous fighter, he has so much experience. I’m still gonna whoop that a** though.” Romero has even suggested that he would destroy Garcia so bad, he wouldn’t want the rematch with Haney.

That said, it appears Rolly Romero isn’t worried about Garcia’s prior ostarine test results, as he prepares to fight the Victorville native. However, the question is, does he have what it takes to put Garcia down?
