Lightweight “Ruthless” Romero Duno (21-1, 16 KOs) offered to fight Ryan “Kingry” Garcia (18-0, 15 KOs) last month in Carson, California, after Garcia’s opponent Avery Sparrow was taken off the card at the last minute. Kingry didn’t accept that offer, but now Duno and Garcia will get it on in Saturday’s Canelo-Kovalev co-feature.
“I am 100% ready for Garcia,” said Duno. “I’m just four pounds above my weight limit and will have no problem shedding the extra pounds. I had an excellent training camp and have never felt this good. I will get Ryan Garcia with everything I have. This is my biggest fight. My biggest break. I will not put it to waste. I know what Garcia is made of. He’s strong, but I have my own game plan. As long as I follow it I know I will take home the win.”

Hope he KO’s Garcia.
Be careful with Romero Duno, he is a hard dude, a spoiler of first class that was brought from Filipina as a “sacrifice lamb” to California to face a hot prospect named Christian “chimpa” Gonzalez. He knocked him out Gonzalez in two rounds, in fact, Gonzalez was done in the first, but the inept referee (Thomas Taylor) allowed him to continue after a brutal knockdown.
Duno is a real test for Garcia, the one that will define if he is for good or just hype.
Duno is in a 12 winnings streak since his only loss, a 8 round decision in Russia, back in 2016.
I hope he drops that self centered primadonna Garcia…
There’s no way that you can beat a fighter named Kingry!!
Interesting match up. I think that most boxing fans would want Duno to win because they are annoyed by Garcia, but Garcia is the stronger fighter. Duno will have to execute a brilliant game plan and have the day of his life to beat Garcia.
As always, I just hope that its a clean fight and no corrupt or inept judges.
Agreed Stonefree: unfortunately, we have seen alot of bad judging recently with a bunch of different fighters such as the last fight with GGG vs D’Chenko. Even the last Mall Charlo fight. Until these judges are held accountable, it will continue to happen n it really sux for these fighters bustin their ass only to have it taken away by judges. Only cure is accountability for judges OR 15 round fights again
No matter how we want to turn it, boxing is unfortunately the most corrupt sport of all and there is no indication that this will change any time soon. In fact its the opposite: the way the game is played today is to groom phony super stars and create mega fights with mega profits. Those who run the industry have realized that 1 big fight is worth more than 100 regular fights. But to stage such a big fight, you need a superstar – fake or real doesn’t matter. Look at Canelo: mediocre boxer but juiced up to his eye balls and constantly benefiting from bad (corrupt) judging. What’s worse: there are millions of “fans” who willingly pay for this.
I got Ryan García for the win by KO
I’m tired of the hate toward Kingry ; let this kid and his self confidence prove he’s for real before even judging him ! The guy’s who are talking shit about him are the same who were praising Mayweather who was 10 time more arrogant.. Fuck you to all the haters and you will be all surprised with the outcome of the fight.. Garcia is better than Gonzalez..
Regis: why so angry?
I think most boxing aficionados know that Garcia is very talented and he also goes into this fight as the favorite. His personality is a mess, but as you rightfully point out, that’s often the case with celebrities/sports stars….as well as common people.
I think there is legitimacy to people’s favoring someone with a sane and pleasant personality. I don’t see any reason why anyone would get angry about all of this…
