Former undisputed lightweight champion and current WBC super lightweight champion Devin “The Dream” Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) is more than an 8:1 favorite for his upcoming PPV title defense against “King” Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) on Saturday in Brooklyn.

Haney opened as a -550 favorite, but has been bet up to a -850 favorite in the final days before the fight.

  • Unless Garcia is producing the greatest acting performance of the year, he should rather be getting psychological assistance than stepping into the ring against one of the best fighters in the sport.

      • Uh, did you read those tweets? It’s not a baseless judgment. It’s a general concern for his safety.

    • I saw him playing poker about three months ago and he looked like was 190…

    • The number of people who disliked this shows the stupidity and danger of such in boxing fans. Boxing damages the brain. Brain damage often shows itself in irrational/paranoid thoughts, mood swings, or things that, at the time, seem like psychiatric disorders but are the byproduct of physiological damage.

      These weren’t just “some tweets.” If one is at all capable of decent judgment, they should be concerned for him. If a family member started saying this stuff to you, would you be so cavalier? If it were just gamesmanship, I understand, but it really didn’t seem like it.

  • That’s about right. Ryan’s mental state (even before the crazy posts) is the weakness. At this level, the mental component is extremely important. Garcia is highly skilled, quick hands, great power mainly in the left hook which Haney will negate. Haney wins comfortable decision or possibly late knock out. But I’d like to see Garcia win if only to humble Haney and shut his father up.

    • Weakness is an oversimplified, myopic way of describing this. He could very well have a neurological issue.

  • Props to Ryan Garcia for only wanting to fight the best of the best. Not like Canela who is terrified of Benavidez, Ryan steps up for the tough fights. I believe the one who will win is the one with the best chin. My gut says Haney wins this one.

  • my boxing brain is with haney, my fan’s heart is with garcia . haney should win this one but ryan has a punchers chance . congrats to both for fighting . hopefully tank and stevenson get motivated to fight better opposition.

  • Haney all day! I’m going with the Race Baiter on this one, although, his hair texture was the product of a racist sentiment from the Garcia contingent, but I digress. Fights like this used to be on HBO or Showtime, not PPV worthy.

    • You would go with the baiter, DMV. He follows the same script as you do. Like I said, waste of time fight.

  • Garcia, shock flash knockout in the 6th. Left comes in after crowd boo’s the fight for Haney running around, he comes in and night night. You heard it hear boys and girls…..

  • If Haney makes Garcia come to him and stays at angles, especially away from Ryan’s hook, while picking his spots to score, he should win.

    If Ryan can hurt Haney early to the body and gain his respect, he can force Haney to be on the defence, opening up the body for more opportunities upstairs.

    This will come down to stamina. Who can bring it the whole fight? I see Haney frustrating Garcia through boxing. It’s not the first time they have fought. I think they fought 5 or 6 times, so they’re not strangers to each other. It will be a better fight than expected with both of their stocks being raised.

  • Yea Ryan has mental problems and that worries me because if does not cobtrol his emotions he might do the wrong fight

    Ryan should be patient and wait for Haney to attack him and the same thing Haney should do against Ryan

    They fought in amateur but there is a world diference in professional boxing , Miguel coto beat in the professional all the the guys he lost in amateur

    Haney has endurance and is good out boxer but Ryan got the power

    If Ryan connect Haney early on the fight Ryan might take the control of the fight

    If Ryan does not connect Haney Ryan might get frustrated while Haney might be comfortable in the fight

    Is 50/50 fight but I trust on Ryan left hand

    I don’t like Ryan as a person but I like him as a boxer he got skills

  • Ryan promise to ko tank Davis in 2 rounds and when he was in that round he went crazy attacking tank Davis thinking on ko him out and what happened??? Tank give him a cold ice bucket of water

    That’s why he should control his emotions and fight patiently otherwise if he lies his mind he might lose the fight

    Ryan has skills but he has no brain

  • Of course bettors are banking on Haney and why wouldn’t they. We all knew Ryan wasn’t going to win as soon as the fight was announce. He and his team keep talking about their amateurs fights not realizing Haney has grown as a fighter and Ryan is the same.

  • haney wins this one garcia loses for the 2nd time haney better skills

  • EASY fight for Haney as much as I hate to say it. He’ll outbox Ryan all night and make it look easy. Would love to see Ryan land a massive hook and KO Haney just to shake up things in the sport but it’s highly unlikely. Haney by fairly easy decision

  • at +180 i took Haney by ko, tko etc…., not a big puncher but getting better pop as he has moved up in weight, plus look what’s in front of him, i think Ryan will shell up when Haney puts his foot on the gas, 6 or 7 rds. and back to twitter paradise.

  • Congratulations to Ryan Garica with Austalian porn star Savannah Bond it represents Australia’s news site hopefully it hasn’t his training and mind set

    • Wow, what a catch. A garden tool that’s on television for everyone to see. Now that’s family values!

  • I just have this feeling but for whatever it’s worth, look for an upset.
