Comments Thread For: Did Bigger Make Better? Ryan Garcia Overpowers Devin Haney in Shocker

[Smash]

devin got played by ryan & ryan agreed to the 1.5 mil simply because he knew that was his plan all along

dont feel sorry for devin tho, he has no issues being the big big dog in the ring himself, he just got a taste of his own medicine, even if ryan did it in an illegal boxing way or at least unfair against the rules but he got a pass on that with all his crazy talk people felt sorry for him and isnt he great for even attempting to fight, he knew all along he was training well and just didnt bother to make the weight because it didnt suit him to

What was Haney supposed to do, throw the event to the bin?

Yes. Hes perfectly fine & able to do that. Its a GBP problem at that point. But cuz he got an extra 1.5M he was cool to fight. If he hadn't been cool with 1.5M I assume GBP pays him enough to make it cool or the fight gets canceled.

Ppl act like this is crazy, but if you make weight & your opp doesn't you can always walk. Its just about when you walk. Most any boxer would walk if their opp was 155lbs for a 140lb fight. There is lil difference if a guy is 140 1/4lbs for a 140lb fight. The agreement is for an opp & a weight. Doesn't matter in principle if a guy is 1/4 lb off or 15lbs off.

If the opp or weight changes the money changes or the boxer walks are the choices you got. Devin gets pts for agreeing to fight at a weight disadvantage, but he loses more pts for losing the fight. If he didn't take that into account in his decision to not cancel the fight thats his own sh^t. Not unlike when Ryan agreed to fight at 136 & with a rehydration clause vs Tank.

Great win for Garcia. Now that puts him as the face of boxing

they guy hasnt even won a title and hes the face of boxing lol

Garcia missed weight by 3 lbs. He had a huge advantage. It's almost like Tank's rehydration clause.

These fights, while entertaining, are tainted.

Your general point is spot on. I think in this case there's some more intrigue. Devin tends to rehydrate he kind of got a taste of his own medicine lol. Garcia was definitely larger we don't know what Devin Weighed, do we, I'm curious. This fight is the best case I can think of to make for same day weigh-ins lol.

Im annoyed because I had a bet on Garcia by KO and the ref saved Devin so many times from getting stopped but still the power was the difference. Haney was the better boxer but everytime Ryan landed clean on him he was hurt. Ryan proved alot of people wrong with that win

Ref saved Vegas lol.

Triangle theory is generally chit but it sure does make Tank look good right about now... As the smaller man Tank out boxed Garcia, dropped him twice and knocked him out with relative ease. Tank vs Garcia rematch at 140lbs is the one to make

imagine what tank would do to haney wow

he would knock him out twice easy and the rest, they would need stretchers for devins whole team after it

I don't like that "face of boxing ****" It is disrespectful for other boxers as good or better than any fool called TFOB and it tends to lock out all the good fights out there and makes a fool call himself number 1 and start making demands on fight that are not leveled or in fair ground.

We as fans need to stop that s h I t

[eco1]

Yeah he's so frustrating to watch because there's power, speed and talent there but there's also so many flaws. I mean he just beat an undefeated former undisputed and current champion even with all the flaws so imagine if he actually improved on them and took it seriously.

Undefeated my a s s. Loma won their fight, F Haney the nose.

Obviously the extra 3lbs didn't hurt Ryan. At the end of the day Devin allowed it tho so it is what it is regardless if it helped Ryan or not.

What was Haney supposed to do, throw the event to the bin?

That's not fair, it would have been an even playing field if Haney also only had to cut to 143 lbs.

And I'm not an Haney fan at all.

UFC is doing better as usual.I remember Chimaev didn't make weight and they made him fight a guy from the division above.

Boxing is the only sport where fighters pick their opponents and rules.
