Comments Thread For: Bill Haney: 'We Had a Plan' for 'Cheating' Ryan Garcia's Left Hook

[JonDP]

"we had a plan, we just didn't use it...". Ok, Bill...

It’s the old adage of everything going out the window when you get hit in the face.

Devin fought his heart out, just came up short. And thats that

Fight Sandor Martin, if you must, or Adrien Broner, if you wish, and then go from there! Stay far away from Subriel Matias, and Teofimo Lopez, for 2024, and don't even think about going to 147 anytime soon!

The weight was not an issue, they knew haney would rehydrate to over 160 pounds the night of the fight, and they figure garcia didn't trained properly. Hindsight is 20/20.

The weight is always an issue when one doesn’t make it, have you fought before and if so did you ever face a good fighter and you yourself barely make weight and your opponent didn’t and he was bigger and incredibly strong inside the ring, well I had that happen also facing a former champion not to mention names but it’s cheating especially when your opponent is the one under the big promoter. Ryan took advantage and it paid off, but Haney was at a disadvantage.

How is he right? Devin Haney consistently weighs 160-165 on fight night and his opponents aren’t even close to that. Tim Bradley didn’t mention that. Garcia weighed about 160 on fight night so where is this big advantage? I’m not condoning purposely coming in overweight BUT The Haneys don’t get to complain about it. It wasn’t a problem when he was winning those rounds it was only when he started taking those lefts. He’s not a big enough, nor does he have a corner that can navigate him through big fights

When you have a contact and weight limits they should be followed if you can’t make it move up in weight. Dammmm what Haney gets up to, he made weight which is a fact so stick to what’s fact.

That could happen, same day weight in, haney has 36hrs to hydrate back to his normal weight of smw and regain his strength, we all knew garcia can punch especially with the left hook, haney has no answer for that, it wasn't because he lifted him over his head with his extra 3 pounds super strength or was treated like a rag doll in the clinches. He didn't have any answers for the one thing they should have been prepared for, the left hook.

Not over 1.5m. Over the huge fight purse and PPV exposure he was set to receive. Taking the fight was the best option, honestly , even if he thought he would lose. You don’t pass up on 8 figure paydays over 3 lbs. Ryan played it smart. It’s def underhanded and unfair, but smart. Nobody forced Haney to proceed, but he would have been a DAMN FOOL to back out of that payday over weight. Especially knowing he keeps his belt in a loss.

So it was a foolish decision and they happen at times, never happened with Floyd! He lost more from losing the way in which he did than it’s worth had he forced them to play fair. His health and mental outlook is on the line now that he lost the way he did. I did this for a number of years and seen it all, I’m not just talking dammm that money., you got beat the hell up and can’t fight again for some time now and you’ll be on the rebound and can’t go into a mega fight, now go figure!

we had a plan but we were saving it for the streets!!

[hitmanjosh]

When Gayweather beat Marquez all you people kept saying was weight wasn't the issue, if it was, why did Marquez take the fight, now you people are crying foul and call it cheating. LOL dumb hypocrites.

yall hear this, you people! What are you the biggest racist MF’er calling yourself a fan of a diverse sport of all racist. Don’t ever comment on anything I write again you turd piece of sh__!

Well if you claim to be a ******, skip Ramadan, then accept a $1.5 million dollars, you should not cry about it afterwards, then claim you're going to "make up for Ramadan".
