Devin Haney predicts that following his dominant win in the highly anticipated megafight on April 20 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Ryan Garcia will be humbled.
It’s interesting that WBC lightweight champion Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) is already envisioning Ryan Garcia’s apology for the harsh words he exchanged in the lead-up to their bout on DAZN PPV.
Some feel that Haney should apologize for not effectively promoting Garcia’s fight, as he seemed to rely on repetitive lines in interviews instead of creating fresh material.
Ryan Garcia, on the other hand, has actively engaged in promoting the fight through his unique antics and heavy presence on social media.
Haney Envisages a Forced Tribute
“Ryan Garcia will acknowledge, ‘I always knew you were a formidable opponent,’ recognizing my skills and what I bring to the ring,” said Devin Haney. A segment on DAZN Boxing speculates on Garcia’s potential post-fight comments after their clash on April 20th.
Haney seems fixated on portraying Ryan as obligated to shower him with praise post-match, bowing down to him as if he were royalty. Some may find this attitude disappointing and unbecoming.
“He’s aware of my fighting style. I’ll neutralize his strength just as I always do,” Haney added regarding Garcia. When asked about countering Garcia’s renowned left hook, Haney confidently stated, “If I don’t want to be hit, I simply won’t be.”
“I’ll Impose a Handicap” Remark
“I’ll handicap Ryan. He’ll have to fight with his hands tied behind his back,” Haney proclaimed. “Respect has vanished, and it’s turned personal. He’s crossed a line. Communication between Ryan Garcia and I may cease forever. Once defeated, I become the example he warns others about,” Haney continued.
Once more, Haney repeats his tired “handicap” narrative. It would benefit him to devise more original statements as this repetitive rhetoric is becoming tiresome.
It’s likely that at some point in the fight, Ryan will land his notorious left hook with full force. Therefore, Haney might just experience the power behind Garcia’s signature punches.
Haney lacks the knockout power to prevent Ryan from delivering his trademark hits, and behaving like Shakur Stevenson in the ring could jeopardize his career.
Ultimately, the outcome may hinge on Haney’s ability to withstand Ryan’s powerful blows. Failure to do so could mean a new WBC lightweight champion crowned on April 20th.
