Early Saturday, Rolando Romero defeated Ryan Garcia in an open-air boxing show in New York's Times Square.
Romero put Garcia down in the second round, his left setting up a heavy left hook that bowled Garcia over.
Romero continued his dominating performance, winning a clear unanimous decision over 12 rounds by scores of 118-109 and 115-112 twice.
This was Garcia's first fight since he was suspended for a year after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs in a victory over Haney.
Garcia said, "I just think that whole year took a lot off my body physically and mentally."
The card of the event showcased several contests.
In the co-main event, Devin Haney faced Jose Ramirez. Haney secured a unanimous decision victory (119-109, 119-109, 118-110).
The undercard featured a strong performance from Teofimo Lopez, who retained his WBO and Ring Magazine super lightweight titles with a convincing unanimous decision victory over Arnold Barboza Jr.
