WBC super lightweight champion Devin “The Dream” Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) and super lightweight contender Ryan “KingRy” Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) did not face off at the final press conference for their PPV clash on Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. Promoter Oscar De La Hoya promised they would face off at tomorrow’s weigh-in.
Ryan Garcia: “I’m ready to kick ass. I’m going in there to f**k this man up. You don’t understand. I’m going to f**k him up. You don’t know what I’ve been training like. You don’t know the vision I have. I’m on fire!”
Devin Haney: “This is not an easy fight, but it is a fight that I will make look easy…all his antics and everything that he’s been doing will betray him.”
– Just shut up already and keep those General Admission nose-bleed ticket prices dropping.
– Currently at $150 and looking for less than $100…..
I seriously doubt this fight will produce fireworks. I think Haney gets on bike and picks apart Garcia. Haney is a good boxer, but not good enough for my dollars.
These type fights scream for a great undercard! Until the promoters understand this, they’ll continue to see their numbers fall.
Gets on bike and take apart Garcia ???
lol
I hope he win in that fashion so that I laugh at Haney fans lol
Great comment.
According to their last fight at 140, Haney was strong and aggressive and it was Ryan who was on his “bike” turning his back to his opponent. Don’t let biases affect your judgement. If weight was truly an issue at 135 and he remains strong at 140 he may be worth some dollars.
It makes sense to pick Haney, but oddly enough, I still have a strong feeling Garcia is going to cause major problems for Haney.
Garcia has the speed, pressure style and power to limit Haney’s confidence and approach(es). The referee will also play a big factor because this fight may involve many clinches and some heated verbal exchanges.
Dang, I remain in the “thinking position” about this scrap.
Hilarious that people actually think Garcia can win. This is all a show for him. He knows he can’t win like he did with Tank. García is not in it to win. He is only in it for the money. Saturday the same thing will happen like it did in the Tank fight. I think Ryan quits before the 8th rd.
I kind of agree with you. Though I think Ryan stylistically has a chance, I don’t think he’s confident. I think his behavior was to either get out of the fight and/or to have an excuse afterward. I also think that’s why excepted all the of Tank’s conditions so when he lost he could have an excuse to show that Tank didn’t beat the “real Ryan”. This time Ryan will say he had so many outside distractions and he wasn’t mentally there. I think Ryan has a confidence issue, and that’s why he has pulled out of tough fights several time before. Just my two cents.
Those are biased fans who have wishful thinking. They know Ryan isn’t committed and that he quits when it gets hard. They also say Haney will get on is “bike” and run from Ryan. They forget in Haney’s debut at 140 he looked strong and held his position. It was Ryan who was on his “bike” turning his back to his opponent.
Little fawn, Biased fans? Whatever. Why can’t they just be fans. Haney fought the naturally smaller man aggressive and held his position. Prograis although has always fought at 140 is smaller whereas Haney is coming up and in some cases as a middleweight by fight time. He will not have that luxury this fight because Garcia will be able to match that weight. I doubt he fights him like that. Two jabs and a right hand Haney is all that is coming then the hug. Boring, if you bought it prepare for a Shakur style of a fight.
Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit. I literally explained what makes them biased fan. This doesn’t surprise me coming from a guy that uses “killa” as his name. What’s the name of last book you read and how recent? Sports Illustrated doesn’t.
Haney puts on a masterful performance and you still don’t acknowledge his abilities without excuses. If Ryan would have performance like Haney you’d be singing his praises and if Haney would have performed like Ryan you’d be front row criticizing the performance.
Haney claims he was drained at 135 which could give an account to his past performances. He looked strong at 140 so he may have a point. You’re going to use the same low hanging fruit argument of the “naturally smaller man.” Marciano, Mike Tyson, Pernell Whitaker, Manny Pacquiao, Aaron Pryor, etc overcame size. If you were smart you would have noted that Prograis’ lack of experience is what did him in. Didn’t Prograis supposed have tremendous punching power? Its not like Haney has a granite chin. How is size suddenly a factor when Prograis was champ at 140? Sugar Ray Leonard overcame being put on the canvas by a larger man, got off the canvas and became Light HW champion of the world via TKO. He was the “naturally smaller man”.

Let’s get something straight, little fawn, I have never been a Garcia fan. Nor, am I a Haney fan either. To me Garcia is making a mockery of boxing. Missing weight, marijuana, talks too much, etc. The same way I feel about Garcia is the same way I feel about Haney. Weight bully, racist talk, talks too much, etc. He made weight though and don’t think he has ever missed weight to my knowledge. So, if you root or cheer for a fighter, you are biased? So, in the same breath are you biased because you sure seem pretty much sticking up for Haney. What makes you different? Or is that they narcissist coming out? You provided no explanation of a biased fans. Your words:those biased fans have wishful thinking. That’s an explanation? Then you need to learn how to write and use descriptive words to substantiate your argument. Haney fought prograis in a masterful performance, didn’t watch it and I heard it was just another jab and hug event, but I could be wrong I doubt it. Your argument that smaller fighters beat the larger fighter is not impressive. There are always exceptions, but what you failed to acknowledge is that all of the fighters mentioned had way more superior skills than their opponent. You use Leonard who fought lalonde, wow. Lalonde was way overmatched in that fight. Kinda like canelo fighting kovalev. Your hanging fruit argument works both ways too. A fighter that starves themselves or dehydrates themselves to a weight that is not safe is natural? Then turns around and puts on 20 to 30 pounds is ok? Goes both ways doesn’t it. Haney makes weight then puts on 25 pounds and Loma still beats him? If you are unbiased fan you would admit that. Your not, it’s like you are a hypocrite. I’ll say it. I think Loma lost or drew against Jermaine Ortiz. I’m for reality, you are something else. I hate fighters like Garcia and Haney, I responded to your comment because you talk out of your behind. Go back to your forest, little fawn.
Well Haney did not put dehydration clause like tank Davis did to Garcia
re-hydration
When can we stop pretending Ryan has a chance of winning. Training videos is one things but are we going to pretend we didn’t see what he was doing in his last fight? How exactly is James helping him? Its too late to learn new tricks against these elite fighters who have been testing themselves.
This fight may very well lack action. Haney will try to box to a decision to stay clear of Ryan’s power. At the end there could be some drama if he breaks him down and stops him late. Thinking it will have about the amount of action as De La Hoya v Trinidad without the controversy.
I’m curious to see how Charles Conwell looks. He’s been inactive and not sure why. But from what I’ve heard he’s a really fighter. He’s sparred Tszyu
I hope Ryan can pull it off
Hope is not going to be enough.
don’t care for either fighter. However, Haney being such an arrogant ah*** i hope the gets knocked out. btw: can’t stand his dad either. (loud mouth arrogant)
This.
Both fighters are idiots and full of themselves. Garcia weighed in 3.2lbs over 140lb limit so he cannot win the title.
