Rolando “Rolly” Romero isn’t holding back one bit, flat out declaring that a unification fight with Devin Haney is *never* going to happen. During a recent chat with Fight Hub TV, where he even fielded questions from his old elementary school, Romero dropped a bomb that’ll surely have the boxing world buzzing.
Ryan Garcia: “Clout-Chasing Fool”?
Dude didn’t mince words when asked about stepping back into the ring with Ryan Garcia. Romero blasted Garcia, asking, “Didn’t he duck me twice? He ducked me after our direct rematch clause and then he ducked me after he fought Barrios.” He ain’t buying Garcia’s talk either, straight up saying, “You’re going to tell me this dude wants to fight? He’s just chasing whatever clout he can get right now. Same way he calls out everybody in the world and doesn’t fight anybody. Don’t bring up Ryan Garcia, he’s a clout-chasing fool.” Talk about a mic drop! He clearly thinks Garcia’s all talk and no action.
Is Devin Haney Really Scared, Or Is It His Promoter?
The real fireworks started when the topic of Devin Haney came up. Romero didn’t hesitate, saying, “No. We sent him an offer, a great lucrative offer. He decided not to take the fight because Devin Haney Promotions isn’t a real promotion company, as we see he can’t bid in own purse bids because he’s not a real promotion company. On top of that, they’re always fighting for a going out of business sale.” But then he hit us with the real kicker, the five words that sum it all up: “me and Devin are never going to fight because Devin is scared of me, and I’m not going to waste my time.” That’s a pretty bold claim to throw out there, right?
So, what’s next after statements like these? It looks like any hopes for a Romero vs. Garcia rematch or a Haney unification bout are dead in the water, at least according to Rolly. He’s made his stance crystal clear, leaving fans to wonder who both these guys will step into the ring with next, because it sure doesn’t sound like it’ll be each other.
