American ‘King Ryan’ was floored in the second round by a left hook. Garcia, 26, went to the ring for the first time after serving a one-year doping ban. 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.

While Haney beat Ramírez by unanimous decision, Garcia fell to Romero, which calls into question whether a rematch is still in the cards. Per ESPN's Andreas Hale, it remains possible that Garcia vs. Haney II could happen due to reports that a contract was signed for the fight prior to Friday's results.

The Times Square card failed to live up to lofty expectations, with Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney's disappointing performances being at the center of it.
