“This will actually be the 7th fight between us,” Ryan Garcia said on social media Thursday. “It’s only right it’s on the professional stage. Thank you Lord Jesus. It’s time to RUMBLE.” These phrases have been accompanied by what gave the impression to be a poster for a combat between Garcia and WBC junior welterweight king Devin Haney. “See u soon pal,” Haney responded to the publish. Neither of those posts emerged from nowhere. Earlier within the day, Garcia posted the next: “I’m sorry Rollies you and your team work way to slow and you were way to indecisive i didn’t know if you wanted to box or vacation. Devin Haney and I are in negotiations respect that. I’m not entertaining anything. Thanks” [sic].
Sure sufficient, it had been indicated that Garcia, one of the crucial in style fighters on the earth regardless of his loss final yr to Gervonta Davis, could be combating the thrilling, if restricted, WBA junior welterweight titlist Rollie Romero. That thought now seems to be one thing from the previous. Indeed, Garcia has addressed the opportunity of dealing with Haney no less than since Haney defeated Regis Prograis in impression style again on December ninth. “Haney is Good no doubt,” Garcia posted on the time, “but I know him all to well and I will beat him. Good stuff tonight congrats but this year we are going to run it!!!”
In reality, few will seemingly favor Garcia if he and Haney are capable of come to phrases for a combat. Haney is extremely exact and easy. Plus, towards Prograis, he confirmed he had some energy at the next weight (he had beforehand dominated the light-weight division). Garcia, alternatively, was knocked out by Davis final spring and, although arduous hitting, has by no means regarded as spectacular than Haney has within the skilled ranks. With that being stated, Garcia beat Haney thrice within the amateurs. And whereas it’s true Haney beat Garcia thrice within the amateurs, as effectively, their cut up pre-professional document towards one another exhibits that Garcia on the very least is aware of what it’s wish to finest the proficient San Francisco native.
There’s additionally the truth that Garcia is an enormously in style fighter. Haney may enter the ring the heavy favourite, ought to he and Garcia find yourself signing a contract, however Garcia, a contemporary fighter if ever there was one, has an enormous social media presence. Such issues matter for fighters who realistically goal to earn large pay days. In quick: Haney might earn a boatload of cash and a focus if he and Garcia sq. off. Another good cause for a Haney-Garcia combat to me made? Garcia has that knockout energy, the type that makes him a must-see attraction. No one is aware of what is going to occur if and when the younger Californian lands clear.
