Hector Luis Garcia vs. Lamont Roach Jr. Match-up Ordered by WBA


The WBA sanctioning body has ordered Hector Luis Garcia to face mandatory challenger Lamont Roach Jr.. 

Garcia and Roach have until April 19th to come to terms. A purse bid would go 75/25 in Garcia's favor. 

After Garcia (16-1, 10 KO's) defeated Roger Gutierrez last August and also defeating Chris Colbert the previous February will make his title defense against Roach (23-1-1, 9 KO's). 

Roach bounced back from his 2019 defeat to Jamel Herring with a solid four-fight win streak, including decisions over Rene Alvarado and Angel Rodriguez. 

This bout between Hector Luis Garcia and Lamont Roach Jr. could happen in the summer of 2023 in the United States for the WBA Super Featheweight title.
