Tale of the tape
The Ryan Garcia vs Rolando Romero live stream from Times Square, New York City, is a welterweight contest that could catch fire at any moment.
It's King Ry's first fight since serving his year-long drugs ban after the controversial outcome his fight with Devin Haney, also on the undercard, in April 2024. Romero, though, has an upset in his sights — and you can watch Garcia vs Romero live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

Garcia wants this bad. The 26-year-old has now served the 12-month ban he received for testing positive for banned supplement Ostarine after his last fight, a victory over Haney that was ruled a no-contest as a result. King Ry, who denies intentionally doping, had missed weight ahead of that super lightweight title bout — so all eyes will be on how he tips the scales in his return to the ring. Known for his quick hands and underrated power, his only career loss came against Gervonta Davis.
'Rolly' Romero is no slouch, though. The 29-year-old is a former super lightweight world champion, who counts defeats only to Davis and Isaac Cruz on his resume. The Las Vegas native responded with a unanimous points win against Manuel Jaimes last September and must get on the inside and use his power shots to make life difficult for Garcia.
Haney, in spiky form at the pre-fight press conferences, is on an impressive undercard at Times Square in the heart of New York City, along with Teofimo Lopez, who defends his WBO super lightweight world title.
Check out all the need-to-know information on how to watch Garcia vs Romero live streams below, plus a stacked undercard – in the U.S. or abroad.

Garcia vs Romero fight card
There are two massive names on the Garcia vs Romero undercard, giving you all the more reason to watch the PPV fight.
Devin Haney makes his welterweight debut against fellow former super lightweight world champions Jose Ramirez. Haney is rumored to be fighting Garcia in a rematch, but the Dream must take care of business against a well-schooled, technical boxer first.
Also on the card live from Times Square, New York City, Teofimo Lopez defends his WBO super lightweight title against Arnold Barboza Jr, who beat Ramirez last time out. The Takeover has rebuilt impressively since a shock 2021 loss to George Kambosos Jr.
