“Ryan’s whole career a mess” – Moments after Ryan Garcia ditches Devin Haney for Rolly Romero, promoter Oscar De La Hoya throws curve ball at superstar

Ryan Garcia became the talk of the town since he decided against fighting Devin Haney. Instead, he asked for a fight against Rolly Romero. Fans have been in utter shock by the decision. The reason for this decision remains unknown, and fans have started to speculate.

Oscar De La Hoya is Ryan Garcia‘s promoter. He was engaging with Team Haney to book a fight for Garcia. However, De La Hoya somewhat threw Garcia’s new decision under the bus. This is what Oscar De La Hoya tweeted:

While lots of eyes will be on @VergilOrtiz tonight — and they should be — don’t miss the co-main with Golden Boy’s newest soon-to-be star , Ohara Davies. He wins tonight, he gets Rollies for the world title! Vamos, @OharaDavies

De La Hoya’s tweet suggests that Garcia will not get the fight that he wanted. Ryan Garcia has spent quite a bit of time with Oscar De La Hoya’s rival promoter Floyd Mayweather. This has led to a bit of bad blood between Garcia and De La Hoya. The latter even said that Mayweather would be put on notice if this had been done in his time. Fans also speculate that Floyd has a significant role in the change of decision by Garcia.

While lots of eyes will be on @VergilOrtiz tonight — and they should be — don’t miss the co-main with Golden Boy’s newest soon-to-be star , Ohara Davies. He wins tonight, he gets Rollies for the world title! Vamos, @OharaDavies

Now since both fights have been put on hold, only time will tell what Team Garcia has in store for us. Will he get the preferred fight against Rolly Romero? An answer will present itself in the coming weeks.

Fans react to Oscar De La Hoya pushing Ohara Davies for a fight with Rolly Romero, not Ryan Garcia

Fans had a field day on social media platform X after viewing De La Hoya’s tweet. Although De La Hoya hasn’t addressed the issue directly, he stated that Ohara Davies will fight Rolly Romero, the opponent that superstar boxer Ryan Garcia wants. Hence, fans speculated De La Hoya was taking revenge for Garcia sharing a bond with Mayweather.

Wait I had to come back to this post Oscar because i didn’t see the last part, I thought Ryan gets to fight Rollie’s next?

Rightfully stated by one of the fans as a “mess.” Ryan’s future with Golden Boy promotions looks bleak, as many speculate that T.M.T. will sign him after his contract period is done. Only time can tell what journey Ryan Garcia will embark upon.
