Claressa Shields Goes Off on Ryan Garcia After Rolly Romero Knockout Claim
Shields was not happy with Garcia's claim that she would get knocked out by Rolly Romero.
Claressa Shields has reacted strongly to Ryan Garcia's remark about her potential loss to Rolando Rolly Romero. During an episode of Club Shay Shay, Garcia expressed disbelief when Shannon Sharpe mentioned Shields' claim of outpointing Romero. In response, Garcia said, "And then she’s knocked out," before laughing. This was followed by a statement where he clarified, "It’s just different.
Obviously, she’s a great fighter and great woman fighter and we respect that. But when she start talking like that, it’s getting a little crazy now. Somebody needs to pull the brakes a little bit." Following Garcia's comments on September 9, Shields took to X to express her frustration, writing, "You s a bitch. Rolly bent you over & had you crying like a h03."
This came after Romero's victory over Garcia in May 2025, and Shields had previously claimed she could defeat Romero in a fight.
