Devin Haney is not a great athlete

[Eff Pandas]

Was anyone hyping him as a great athlete? Hes been more of a hardwork & dedication guy to me. Hes the hard worker not the athlete or natural talent guy.

Idek that I think of Devin having some high level ring IQ or whatever. I just think they get the ideal strategy that they put into their training for camp to be able to implement it on fight night. Which was why I was surprised he kept getting hit & hurt by Ryan's left hook. I figured if they were prepared for anything going into fight night it was the left hook.

Devin trying to come to Ryan, being the guy forcing the fight and knock out Ryan was his downfall. Pretty similar when Teo was trying to put away Kambosos early and we all know what happned there

He is a good athlete, he did get up every time he got knocked down and was trying to win. His technic failed him, he squared himself in the pocket like he always does and this time the other fighter was fast enough to catch him.

They say don't chase a puncher. I think Devin let ego get in the way of his optimal strategy vs Ryan.

He’s a fine athlete, he’s just not a highly skilled boxer.

Aren't some of these takes a little reactionary? People always complain about fighters protecting the "0", and yet here we have a significant proportion of the forum writing off a former undisputed champion because of one decision loss.

He made some tactical errors, one of which possibly came before they set foot in the ring. He's still going to be a difficult fight for people in his division.

2 welterweights boiled down and one decided 'the hell with it'. Ryan is taller, more athletic, and has faster hands with power. Devin did the opposite of what Shakur did with De La Santos by coming force vs using his 2-inch reach advantage off the back foot even after he got rocked. I Don't think anyone saw this coming. Easy to play Monday morning QB on this one. Maybe people should have dug up those 3-3 amateur fights.

It was surprising that Haney got hit with a big left hook the early into the fight. 30 seconds in.

Devin Haney only started to try to come towards Ryan Garcia once Garcia caught him and Haney realized he couldn't keep Ryan Garcia off of him like he does with most of his opponents.
