        Put him back in with tank at 140 with no rehydration clause and that would be a 50/50 fight aswell

        Can you imagine how much life that clause and the injury ****** out of him?

        Garcia is the real deal and has a chance of hurting any fighter he steps in the ring with
        Come on man , I looked at boxing journalist, ex fighter predictions and 99 percent of them were picking haney, most in a one sided win... the odd person said garcia might land a huge shot out of nowhere and end it but noone was picking garcia via decision, it was a huge shock garcia winning

            The win for Ryan Garcia definitely wasn’t a shock, it was a shock to those who believed he was spiraling out of control etc in the lead up to the fight, and with Haney still holding the belt it makes the rematch even more interesting and definitely more $$$$$$$$$$, but running it back will be the same result although I think it will end up either a UD or early KO and Garcia will be the new champion

              What you think of that
              Yes the big butt hooker last night was very much well worth it. I'm bout to go in again for some 5am type shut but.... yes I heard The Freaky Shieki came to talk to Al because he realized if he is to accomplish anything he needs to talk to the guy that controls not just 90% of US fighters but 90% of the major venues they fight in as well. Good move Mr Turki. Now only if Eddie Heran would've done that in 2018 instead of this ****** "American takeover" then maybe things would be a lot different.....I wonder......well I'm going back in. Wish my heart palpitations luck!

                Ryan proved me and many others wrong. I just hope he doesn’t become another Amir Khan (what could have been).

                Still rooting for Haney to put things right. Haney seemed too emotionally invested from opening bell - didnt seem to have agility - he needs to step back and not let Ryan get into his head and his Dad needs to calm down as puts way too much pressure on him.

                I believe Haney is a champion and will come back and prove doubters wrong. He is made of different mindset. This and Loma loss (that he should have run back) will define him.

                  Honestly, if he was about an inch closer to Haney, that left hook in the first round ends it. It still buzzed Haney but it never landed as solid as it could.

                  That was the punch that had most leverage but it only half caught Haney and he was still shaky.

                    Another Amir Khan?

                    I'd say Khan maximised his potential. He wasn't unprofessional, he lived the life and did as best as his talent allowed him to. He was a quick handed but vulnerable fighter, not the greatest ring IQ, hence poor foot positioning at times leaving himself exposed.

                    I think Khan did about as well as he was ever gonna do. Beat some good names, lost to some good names. Won a title.

                    I don't see any similarity between the two outside of the ring.

                      Credit to Garcia for proving so many of us wrong. Coming in overweight does take something away from it though. A lot of fights might have turned out differently if one guy was allowed an extra 3lbs.
