Speaking to MillCity Boxing, Prograis said:

Rolly and Ryan, I saw the sparring footage. I think that’s actually not a predictable fight because both of them are so wild and both can land punches. Ryan can land big punches and Rolly can land big punches. I would say Ryan, but I don’t know if you saw the sparring. Rolly was beating the s--- out of Ryan in the gym. Rolly is wild and sometimes it’s hard to time and fight somebody like that.

Further sharing his insight to the fight, Prograis said:

So I would go with Ryan but I’m not counting Rolly out until I hit him with something. I favor Ryan because he has more big-fight experience and stuff like that. He's a bigger star, has that hook but at the same time, Rolly is wild and could catch him with something. It'll be an interesting fight for sure.

Ryan Garcia is 24-1-0 with 20 knockouts under his belt. Romero, meanwhile, is 16-2-0 and has 13 knockout wins. He beat Manuel James via decision in his last fight.
