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

[DClefthook]

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.

Damn missed this one. Good comparison!

Bwahahahha! What an ass whooping.

That was not an ass whipping. Those three knockdown were all Garcia had. He didn't do nothing special. I believe Haney was dehydrated at the weight.

Just imagine if Garcia could put it all together. I mean u could make a case he beat Haney fighting at 70% of his capability despite a lot of lapses in that fight. The boy is blessed especially with speed and power. Devins lack of power did him in tonight. Kudos to Ryan

No. He did not. Haney seems he's squeezing 147 frame into 140. His punch resistance is not good at the weight. He lost at the weigh-in. I told my peeps who are casuals that his chin will not hold up.

Haney is likely to have right orbital damage the way it sunk in and ballooned out, I don’t think you see Haney in a ring for an official match for at least 8 months. The fight won’t sit there and wait while Ryan has this kind of a buzz. Also, I just don’t see Bill interested in running that back either but we shall see.

Yea, he took a pretty good a-ss whippin but they will do it again. Probably December or beginning of next year. Ryan needs to also get his sheeit together. He needs to stay in the gym. He didn’t look all that good but he hit hard. He can be out boxed.

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.

You're a f$$$$** idiot that's why. Go watch UFC or WWE

Hney hugged so much, Garcia was falling in love with him. Mexican wins again. Haney is the typical black fighter, hugging and too defensive, Garcia forced him to attack by playing his game.

Let you go the first time, but why do you insist on bringing race into the fight? Do you have a problem with black people? All that happened is obvious for everyone to see. It is no conspiracy that Ryan came in overweight and overpowered Haney who looked weak during the weigh-in.

Ryan didn't do anything outside those three knockdowns. It is more of a Haney's loss than Ryan's win. Haney should have been more disciplined because he knew Ryan only had one left hand he likes to swing from time to time.

Go away!

You don't know what you are talking about. Tell me something Garcia did outside those three knockdowns?

Loma should have got the nod, George is domestic level Australian and Regis is getting old. Haney is now gonna have to beg for 20% in a boring fight against Shakira Stinkinson.

Haney didn't lose the belt. Ryan didn't make weight. He'll get champions side of cut if Shakur moves up to fight Devin.

Loma didn't score one KD & tons of close rds. Hes a future HOFer & couldn't do what the guy who stayed down vs Tank did. George beat Teo the #1 guy at 135 & now the #1 guy at 140. Regis is getting old, that one is fair but Devin doesn't have the 140 belt without Regis.

3 KDs is an asswhipping I think one could argue. Devin definitely looked like the loser. And I'm sure if he was asked in private by a trusted friend he'd have to cop to an asswhipping

That said with rbr scoring it I can see it 7-5 Haney & a draw with the 3 KDs & pt deduction added in. I'm surprised 2 ot the cards were as wide as they were towards Ryan. Ryan did a ton of running around doing nothing, showing his back outside of the KD rds. I didn't score it but giving him 4 & 5 of those other 9 no-KD rds seems hard, like 2 judges did, but I'll have to rewatch it to be more sure.
