Alright, boxing fans, tonight’s the night you’ve all been waiting for – or, you know, pretending to care about. Fatal Fury in Times Square, New York, and it’s bound to be a thriller… if by “thriller,” you mean a complete test of chin, skill, and stamina – and who doesn’t love that?
First, we’ve got Ryan Garcia stepping into the ring to face the hard-hitting Rolando “Rolly” Romero. Garcia, the so-called favorite, has a tall, flashy fighting style. Sounds great, right? Except that it’s basically tailor-made for Rolly to chop him down like a tree. Rolly has been in the best shape of his life – and from what we saw at the weigh-in yesterday, he looks ready to make Ryan eat his words (and maybe some punches too). The PPV costs you $59.99 – don’t worry, it’ll be worth it if you’re into seeing Garcia’s chin tested in ways we’ve only seen in sparring footage.
Then, we’ve got Devin Haney coming out of his hibernation mode to fight Jose Ramirez, who’s looking like he’s going to bring the heat. Some people are calling this a 50-50 fight – but Haney’s weakness to left hooks? Yeah, that’s a real concern. Ramirez could be the one to finally take advantage of that. If Haney doesn’t figure out how to cover up those gaps, this could be the most exciting fight on the card… or, you know, maybe not.
And don’t forget about Teofimo Lopez defending his WBO 140-lb title against Arnold Barboza Jr.. If you’re a fan of technical boxing and not watching people swing wildly, this might be the fight for you. Barboza Jr. has a jab that’ll keep Lopez running around like a headless chicken. It’s going to be super entertaining – or not, depending on how much you love watching Lopez chase Barboza in circles.

…so we paying $60 to maybe see some jabs and runnin? maybe garcia gets KO’d or maybe haney naps again – thrilling stuff guys 🙄 put me in I’ll fight for free.
@James Amber fr bro you’d prob last longer than Garcia with that chin lmao 😅
#DidYouKnow Jose Ramirez has landed more body shots per round than any top-10 light welterweight since 2020? If Haney don’t guard better, them ribs gonna feel that stat 😬📊
‘garcia’s chin be tested’ bro his chin already got tested by life remember when he got dropped last year 😂🥴 rolly finna turn him into yoga mat again
‘Haney outta hibernation’ lol wut they mean dude been trainin not sleepin 😆 i swear this writer try to be smart but sound like my cousin who thinks UFC is wrestling 😂
Historically speaking, Lopez’s style contrast starkly with Barboza’s rangy jab-focused defense – this creates a dynamic reminiscent of Leonard vs Benitez in ’79. Casual fans might overlook the nuance here, but it’s textbook strategy.
this fightcard is joke honestly. $59.99 for a maybe okay punch-fest? no thanks. they hype it up so big, then u watch and its just sweaty dudes hugging and missing shots.
yeah agree, money grab and they kno it. haney sleepin half da fight n lopez all bark no swing 💤🛏️
yea i likd the ryan gacia match he look fast but rolly he hit hard like a truck… but the ref was like not doin much i think… 🤔 but still garcia got moves wowzers!!!
