Was justice effectively served in the New York State Athletic Commission's suspension, fine and erasing of victory for Ryan Garcia?

They are blaming the low bid on Haney’s next fight on the “loss” to Garcia, but the real problem is the terrible quality of opponent.

It’s tough to sell fights with technical boxers against a non-competitive opponent. You’re not going to see a knockout, you’re not going to see a close fight, so why watch? The purists and hardcore fans might tune in and enjoy a one sided clinic, but definitely not on ppv.

Does this mean the side bet (weigh) between Ryan and Devin will also now be considered null and void?

Maybe he should have used the nursery rhyme ........hmmm "there was a crooked man" -- that told a crooked lie--and eveytime he told a lie he had a crooked smile...........

The beating stays with Haney FOREVER! He was trashed, bashed and beaten by King Ry! Amen!

Haney SHOULD sue Garcia for damages. Everything Garcia did appears to have been deliberate - both taking the PED and coming in overweight.

The problem is both Haney and his dad had those PPV dollar signs in their eyes and let the fight go on once Garcia was 3 pounds overweight when they should have either said no fight or insisted Barboza be moved up to the main event (and taken the hit as far as lower PPV buys on the night). Garcia would have been the villain getting all the negative publicity and Haney’s popularity wouldn’t have been hurt a bit.

Now, even with the reversal and fine, Haney has taken a massive physical toll from being in a fight with someone who came in overweight and doped up in order to cause maximum damage on him - and his popularity will never be as high because people still have the image of him being manhandled.

if only the Haneys really were the shrewd operators they’d like to portray themselves to be.

I'm not sure Haney vs Martin would be a one sided clinic. Martin beat Teo in my book. Haney can make excuses about the pay, but it's a duck.

It’s interesting they’re sueing for damages. But I wonder if they’d sue for endangering his life due to PED use? It would be a risky one to do that with Conte on your team. I’d love to see all the dirty stuff come out in court though.
