Yes, back and forth to a certain extent, but IMO no way it was 112-112. Hope they do a rematch.

. Nothing wrong with that card it matched one of the analysts cards and it was obvious how one could come to that conclusion. The right man won all is well.

Your Haney fanboy opinion, that's all.
Besides the ref giving too much time for Haney to recover,
the 112-112 was a ridiculous score.

Do you know how knockdowns are scored?

Yes they are scored like single point deductions. If a fighter is winning a fight 9 rounds to 3. Then the final tabulation of the scorecard is 117-111.

However, when you factor in Fighter A knock down; Then you deduct a single point from him. For example in rounds; I had Devin winning eight rounds.

Which would make my scorecard 116-112. However, when I factor in the three knockdowns then I must deduct three points off his score.

Which now makes it 113-112. Then when I factor in the single point deduction from Ryan Garcia for hitting on the break Then I must deduct a single point off his score.

Which now makes my final tally 113-111 for Devin Haney . Which is how I unofficially scored it for Devin. It was a close fight but Devin still won it my opinion.

Yeah but what if Garcia had cut to 140 like Haney? Fight was not on an even playing field. And I don't even like Haney. Just trying to keep it real and fair

Haney didn't have to fight him. Unprofessional as hell from Ryan but the fact is they offered Haney a deal after the fact and he took it. Even said afterwards the weight wasn't the reason he lost.

Had Garcia by KO too. Can't believe didn't win after all those knockdown.. Garcia was smothering his punches when he had Haney hurt, Haney was hugging like a MF and ref gave gim extra time a couple of times.. I'm hurting

Yeah you right Ryan could of gave himself more distance instead of smothering his shots when haney was backed up. But the ref constantly letting Haney hold and calling time outs after the breaks was annoying AF. After the 3rd knockdown I thought yeah its over now but ref let Haney survive that round

Eat crow Bill Haney--your head was just getting too big. Talking about killing your opponent was DUMB. You're taking that religion too seriously.

Five rounds at the max if I am being generous. There is no damn way that Garcia won anywhere near seven or eight rounds in that fight.

Where he spent the majority of those rounds running, holding and turning his back on Haney in a poor variation of the Philly shell/Shoulder roll.

+3 lbs means nothing tonight i saw that devin is overrated.ryan’s only skill is left hook thats all. Ryan is still the same an instagrammer and Devin will never be an elite fighter because he lost to instagrammer. Matias would literally kill devin haney in the ring. Frank martin schools haney easily. Gary antuanne russell demolishes him.

Just curious, but isn't Haney normally outweighing his opponents by significant amounts? Not sure what fight you were watching but Devina lost that one...it does no good winning points when you are getting dropped regularly. Devin decided that this was going to be his Gatti-Mayweather moment, but turned out he was Gatti.

Only on fight night my friend but not on the scales; Where he is largely gaunt and dehydrated for cutting too much weight. He doesn’t cut corners or take short cuts like Ryan did.

It was gamesmanship on Garcia’s part. He tricked Haney into fighting him by saying it was for his 140 pound title.

Also, how many rounds did you score for Ryan Garcia again? I personally had him winning only four rounds to be honest.

Five rounds at the max if I am being generous. There is no damn way that Garcia won anywhere near seven or eight rounds in that fight.
