Ryan Garcia says he will take the WBC lightweight title from champion Devin Haney this Saturday, April 20. DAZN PPV in Brooklyn, New York.
Get ready to get rough
He's ready to make things worse on Saturday by doing whatever he can to wrest that strap from the defensive-minded Haney, and that could mean getting rough.
Ryan may have to because Haney will be moving around the ring as usual trying to get the decision. I don't think Haney is too worried about pleasing the fans.
He just wants to win, get a big paycheck and buy one of those mansions in the Hamptons, New York, like he and his dad, Bill, were talking about. As they say, 'Just win, baby.'
Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) will have to follow the blueprint created by Gervonta Davis on how to crush Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) if he wants to win as he will make every move. damage during the match. book to resolve his crime.
Devin is not the most exciting fighter and this Saturday he is not required to make it an exciting fight. He'll focus on not getting hit, because he can't afford Ryan tagging him with any of his power shots. He hits too hard and the fight will be over when he lands.
Tricks of the trade: Haney's survival kit
Hold? Check. Run? Check. Shoving, stiff-arming and stabbing? Absolute. Haney has the boring stuff ready and he's not afraid to use it. That's his play. If you're someone who likes excitement, it can be a little frustrating not to get your money's worth.
“That belt is MINE”
“I'm better now thanks to him. Devin is going to find out in the ring that this is a war,” Ryan Garcia growled at DAZN Boxing about his argument with Devin Haney on Saturday night. “Somehow, he'll get it.”
“We are fighting for the WBC world title, and I will strip Devin Haney of the blue belt if necessary, and I will sacrifice everything I have in that ring. I have to send him this message. Ryan said.
Torture time?
“Ryan, I had a lot of respect for him for a while, but all the respect I had for this fight, I lost,” Haney said. “We don't know if people will follow the circus or not. Would they like to see a lion jump through a hoop? Maybe.
“Maybe they wanted to see Ryan tortured. I've been doing it for so long that it's become second nature to me,” Haney said.
We're scared now, Haney. Normally, I'd think Haney was preparing to argue with Ryan, but that didn't happen.
