    Yes, this kid has my full pledged support. One can easily tell that he was raised both properly and correctly.

    He even got on Ryan's case about being a positive role model for the kids coming up. He thought that Garcia's open drug use across all of his social media platforms were both shameful and repugnant as a professional boxer.

    His father Bill should be very proud of him. He reared Devin well with some of the most exceptional values and it shows.

      I was never a Haney fan and now I'm not a Garcia fan after he may have won me over slightly from the Haney fight. Both of these turds need to go away. Boxing is dissolving into a puddle of puke.

        https://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/24/sports/24boxing.html

        Pacquiao has agreed to have his blood tested three times: in early January, when the fight was expected to be announced, 30 days before the fight and immediately after it. He also agreed to random urine testing.

        “That kind of window is totally unacceptable,” Tygart said. “It would provide a huge loophole for a cheater to step through and get away with cheating.”

        Pacquiao’s camp said he had a problem with giving blood. Ellerbe then wondered why Pacquiao had tattoos if he has an aversion to needles. Arum said the issue was with the blood, not the needles.
        It's not semantics because Pacquaio never said he was scared of needles or adverse to needles, or blood. So you can't use that particular thing against him.

        In regards to tattoos, again it's just totally different. Just because someone's got tattoo's and is fine with a tattoo needle doesn't necessarily mean they'd be fine with a needle used to inject PEDs. But it's irrelevant anyway because Pacquaio's never said that.

                Let’s be real here, he cherrypicked Ryan Garcia and it backfired.

                It’s okay, he’s not the first fighter to have that happen to him.

                  Yeah, still a fan, he's taking on good fighters and just had a poor gameplan against a guy who cheated the scales and possibly with PEDs.

                      The fight happened because Haney is a warrior, he didn't want to ruin or rob us of a eventful prize fight. Also the 1.5 million means nothing right now, risking his health against being remunerated, I would choose the health is wealth take. Not saying I would refuse the fight if I was Haney, but honestly, his desire for greatness should be rewarded with positive feedback. We all talk about John Ruiz holding and this and that, but yet he's on every single mythical h2h matchup in the classic section. Why is that that Devon gets disrespected a whole bunch because he holds? Dammit man, the kid is the goods, nothing but class, just because he's a big dude that makes weight doesn't make him a PED abuser or user. I see a lot of positives with the kid. A good heart, and very mature and respectful for his age. I have nothing against bill Haney either. Were acting like bill and Devon are club fighters and a yes man who threw a towel over his shoulder, c'mon! These 2 guys made it to the TOP echelon of boxing, and their pockets are done swole fat, tell that to the fool azz earth dudes, lol.

                      I respect every fighter from clubroom amateurs to top ten prizefighters. It takes a lot of guts to climb through those ropes. I have a feeling people won't take this comment too well. I'm not about hate, I love positivity, and I wish nothing but fairness to Garcia, whether he gets banned, loses the w, suspended, whatever. Either way he is redeemable. You have to understand that I'm coming from the notion that you don't play this, boxing is real. And we're talking about peds that can kill a man. However I understand that not all peds are able to create a superhuman power. I have no knowledge on ostarine.
                      I’m not a fan of boxers. I leave that up to the teenage girls in here’s
