Tonight, one of the strangest events in boxing history will play out in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Three of the sport’s biggest Stateside stars will compete in Times Square, all in testing match-ups, as Ryan Garcia fights Rolly Romero, Devin Haney faces Jose Ramirez, and Teofimo Lopez takes on Arnold Barboza Jr.
It is an intriguing idea and an alluring event, yet while “heart” applies to the matter of location, that might be the extent of the soul involved (despite the fun late addition of a firefighter vs police officer match-up between James Gennari and Joel Allen).
