Ryan Garcia took to social media to taunt Rolando 'Rolly' Romero, who lost his WBA light welterweight title to Isaac 'Pitbull' Cruz last Saturday night with an eighth-round TKO.
Garcia said Lowry's jaw at this point in his career is “toast” and he can't take punches anymore. First, a 6th round knockout loss to Gervonta “Tank” Davis in 2022, and then a video of Lowry being knocked out by his sparring partner was leaked.
Now, Lowry has been knocked out by Cruz, a much smaller 5-foot-4 pit bull who has moved up from lightweight to challenge him. Ryan believes that Rory is finished as a fighter because his jaw is damaged and he can no longer take punches.
What's really sad is that Lowry walked away from negotiations to fight Ryan, and instead of defending against Pitbull Cruz on the undercard of Tim Tzu vs. Sebastian Fundora, he decided to fight Ryan in the main event for more money. I could have earned it.
This is Lowry's gut-wrenching move this year, and he should be mad at whoever convinced him to step away from competing against Ryan and take part in a small-stakes match against Pitbull.
A question mark on Romero's chin.
“He's inexperienced and now his jaw is busted and his body can't shoot. That wasn't even a hard shot,” Ryan Garcia said on social media last Saturday night. Rolando “Laurie” Romero talks about his loss to Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz. “That guy can't take a punch. That's the truth.”
Rory wasn't originally a great fighter. The only reason he got this far is due to careful strategy by his promoters at Mayweather Promotions and a controversial stoppage victory over Ismael Barroso last May in a fight he almost lost. is.
“When I was playing my comeback game, I was feeling pressured by that game.” [against Rolly] It was tough and after a year and a half layoff, he didn't want it,'' Ryan said of trying to fight Lowry in the past. “He didn't want it. He didn't want it after I beat Tagoe, and he didn't want it after I beat Fortuna.
“Then I called him a number of times. The WBC also ordered us to fight and obviously they got away with it. It doesn't really matter. It's all mandatory.

After “putting Haney to sleep” on April 20, Ryan was told that he should fight WBA light welterweight champion Pitbull Crews next. “I hope that happens, but it's not going to happen. I'll tell you why now. ” he said.
Pitbull said after last Saturday's win that he would like to fight Ryan, but it may be pointless if PBC management is not interested in making that fight.
Cruz also said he would like to fight IBF light welterweight champion Sabriel Matias, who is represented by Matchroom Boxing, and WBO champion Teofimo Lopez, who is promoted by Top Rank. If PBC is going to give Pitbull the green light to fight one of them, it stands to reason that they would also agree to fight Ryan.
“Politics. PBC won't let anyone fight me unless I fight them. I'm just telling you the truth. Unless it's a big fight like with a tank. That's not going to happen. They don't want that fight to happen. Believe me,” Ryan said.
