Ideally, the initial plan was for Ryan Garcia as well as Devin Haney to emerge victorious in their respective matches and meet for a highly hyped rematch later in the year.

Few gave him a chance heading into Times Square's first-ever fight card, but Rolly Romero shocked the world, knocking Ryan Garcia to the canvas en route to a career-best victory in the main event on May 2.

American welterweight Ryan Garcia was unexpectedly beaten at Times Square in his long-awaited return to the ring. Garcia was banned by boxing authorities after testing positive for a prohibited substance last year but lost to Rolly Romero by unanimous decision after a knockdown in the second round of their bout.
