Ryan Garcia opens up on his performance against Devin Haney

Ryan Garcia was last seen in action in April 2024 when he faced off against Devin Haney. 'KingRy' outclassed his opponent that night and scored a majority decision victory. But the result was later changed to a no-contest as Garcia tested positive for a banned substance.

Ahead of his clash against Rolando Romero, Garcia spoke to Ring Magazine where he discussed his last fight and the controversy around it.

"The crazy thing is they kept on saying, 'Oh it's because of the PEDs...'. PED don't help you block a left hook. He didn't block any of it and he got his a** handed to him."
