I give Ryan credit for at least taking these big fights even though hes a major star and will probably lose. If only it was the norm we'd be having big fights in boxing every few weeks.
Ryan Garcia has a good chance of beating Devin Haney

Yeah I'm not really a fan of his personality but credit where it's due, he's willing to take risks. Same goes for Haney.Comment

I'd agree but I think Ryan's actually gotten worse. If the Ryan that showed up for his last fight v Duarte fights the Haney that took apart Prograis and was at least competitive with Loma, I wouldn't be shocked to see him quit in the corner.
But credit to both for making the big fights and taking the risk. What's boxing come to that Ryan Garcia seems to have more balls than Canelo Alvarez...Comment

Turned out to be a decent postRyan Garcia and Devin Haney fought 6 times in the amateurs splitting it with winning 3 each. Garcia has speed and 1 punch Ko power that Haney hasnt faced. Prograis didnt have Ryan Garcias athleticism and reach.
Ryan Garcia wont be weight drained like he was vs Gervonta Davis. He will be at 140 stronger.
Haney isnt this master boxer his fans like to make him out to be. Hes a lot more hittable than most people recognize.
Id still pick Haney to win cause Ryan Garcia is a mentally weak fickle human being who is technically flawed and keeps switching trainers but I wouldnt view this as such a big upset.Comment

Good call by the TC. I was also thinking Ryan had a good chance. The media just overrates the **** out of Haney's boxing ability. Not every black guy is "slick", Haney is sure not.
For real though, I knew should have put money on Ryan Garcia. He was +2000 to win by decision.Comment

I think it helped Ryan Garcia with punch resistance and leaning on Haney. As far as Ryan Garcia's speed advantage and massive power advantage I dont think it had any serious effect.
Hard to know how much the 3 pounds mattered but I dont think thats what decided the fight.
Haney defense is very much about pulling straight back. This works against smaller slow footed fighters like Kambosos, Jo Jo Diaz and Prograis. Ryan Garcia is a bad style matchup for Haney.
Haney doesnt counter punch and Ryan Garcia swings wildly with no fear and is there to be countered.
Haney even caught Ryan Garcia clean a few times and got Ryan Garcias attention but could never drop him which Luke Campball did and Gervonta Davis did twice.Comment
