    He's 5'9" to Haney's 5'8", and lanky build. Haney is much broader across the shoulders now. We already know that Haney was 165 on fight night vs Prograis. And Ryan was 160 vs Duarte on fight night. You can tell yourself whatever stories you want, but Haney has been a weight bully his whole career and finally fought someone his own size. It is what it is.

      Oh, well, hats off to Ryan. If he had made weight, he would be the undisputed world champion.

        He's so unprofessional, but I did NOT see that coming. Garcia on points was what I thought was the least likely result. If the whole thing was a troll job, that's gotta be one of the biggest troll jobs in boxing. I fell for it, hook, line, and sinker.

        He wouldn't be undisputed though. Fight was at 140, where Haney only has the WBC, and he's still got to contend with Teo, Matías, and Cruz.

          Teo vs Ryan would have to be refereed by a shrink

            Boxing has become a business and not as sport.
            I wanted to pick Ryan by decision but I said to myself: Haney has the judges on his side, money is on his side, meh, I'll go Haney. Before the fight I asked : What if Cryan actually KD's Haney and some people jumped at me, LOL.

            Remember when I picked Mayer instead of the other one and then I found out mid fight that the fight was in the UK?
            Even when Mayer won, I would've had a perfect pick if I would have know the fight was in the UK, LOL.

            It is awesome to pick fights and have fun with you guys, you guys are all awesome!!!!
            I remember when Chocolatito was robbed of a win against Estrada in 2021. I lost something like a 200-point, x5 perfect pick there...

                  That fight still pisses me off. One of the biggest rob jobs in recent years. I remember being on a Utah trip feeling good watching the fight at a cabin until Gonzalez got fked. I dont even want to mention the money I lost lol.

                  Rubber match was shady too but Roman has nobody to blame but himself for losing the early rounds.

                      It’s only right. It’s the final matchup of the season and Barthlemey/Dulorme are not some bums.
