Once more, it was a nasty night time for Devin Haney. Everybody has a nasty night time’s typically, nonetheless, even dominant boxers.
The 15-0 Haney shall be again within the ring on Could 2nd. As soon as once more, he’ll be combating in New York. This time, nonetheless he wont be going through Garcia, for Garcia shall be battling Rolando Romero in the principle occasion that night because the centerpiece of a pay per view broadcast. Haney, nonetheless, can’t afford to be bitter, for he’ll be needing to focus his consideration on the expert Juan Carlos Ramirez. Though he’s anticipated to win, it have to be saved in thoughts that Haney was beforehand anticipated to finest Garcia, as properly. Not that the Garcia bout was a complete fiasco.

Couple all this with the actual fact Garcia confirmed as much as combat that night time with a weight benefit and it’s comprehensible why no less than some individuals would increase their eyebrows.
Nonetheless, when all is claimed and accomplished, Haney should depart the ring at Occasions’ Sq. the victor on Could 2nd.
