Let’s throw some Jabs the fight starts now all right Sergio we have another big fight on Doone and this one is going to be a grudge match Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia have agreed to terms the fight on April 20th for Haney’s version of the 140 lb title these two have been going

Back and forth since the amateur days they went three and three against each other in the amateur ranks now they can test their skills in the Pro rank Sergio we heard for weeks that Ryan Garcia was targeting a fight with Ry Romero he quickly pivots to a fight against Devin

Haney is this the right move for Ryan Garcia yes it’s the right move and you got to give this kid a lot of credit because he went straight from making one of the biggest fights of the year with tank Davis taking on a very tough opponent in Duarte and now going back to

A big Mega fight with Haney Haney who has been fighting the absolute best for some time now I mean he has a championship resume but you got to give it to Ryan Garcia on this one I give him a lot of credit is the smart move yes

Because he’s going to get paid a lot of money and we’re in this sport to make a lot of money win some titles and and fight the best Ryan Garcia is doing two out of three of those and now he’s going to be fighting for a world championship

With Haney once again smart move man when lose a draw we got to give him credit for making the big fights and this is what fans want we want the best fight and the best and these are two of the best at 140 yeah I believe that Roy

Romero was the best fight for Ryan because it was a marketable fight and it presented probably the easiest path for Ryan to get a world title with AI off the table though this is the next best fight we don’t want to see Ryan Garcia in another midlevel low-level tuneup

Type fight we want to see him in big fights and Devin Haney is a big fight Devon Haney coming off an event where he sold out the chase Center in San Francisco Ryan Garcia two fights removed from under the BET where he did more than a million pay-per-view Buys so

These are two guys that are in their primes and two of the biggest names in boxing right now so it is going to be a challenging fight for Ryan Garcia but I think it is the right one for him to be taking right now so we know that Devin

Haney is coming into this fight as the favorite DraftKings already established him as a big favorite going into this fight so is there a path to victory for Ryan Garcia when you have speed and power of course you have a pth to Victory and Ryan Garcia already has fought uh Devon

Haney so there’s familiarity as well so you know the PO the pros and the amateur game are two different you know Sciences I get that but when you know each other that well six times you already felt the power you already felt the speed but I

Think range is going to be a big thing here uh with Ryan Garcia in his last fight uh he showed that he can go forward and he showed he can go back you know he was moving a little bit too much against that fight with d but in

Hindsight looking back that was the right strategy he was setting up dwte with something big with Haney’s going to have to go forward Haney’s not going to be fighting on the front foot that much it’s going to be you know testy with the Jabs but the range is going to be the

Main thing how does Ryan Garcia break that range and footwork you know gar uh Ryan Garcia has been flat footed in the past but in his last fight there’s a little bit more movement lateral movement backing up going forward he’s going to need all that he’s going to

Need all that with Haney is there a pass to Victory yes because Haney has been hurt we’ve seen him hurt with smaller Fighters I mean LMA hurt him with the right hand that’s going to be a big key I mean he’s been hit hurt by a right

Hand uh several times I just think that right hand is going to be the factor so if Ryan Garcia can actually break that range smart use good footwork and set up that right hand because Ryan Garcia throws away the right hand just to throw that check left hook it’s predictable

Now that’s how he got caught with tank Davis you can bet David Hane is gonna be looking for the same thing so straight right hands throw it downstairs mix up the Jabs I think there’s a pth to Victory there and he has the better chin

I think he has a better chin than with Devon Haney so those are the pass to Victory if you’re Garcia yeah I understand why the odds heavily favor Devon Haney right now Devon Haney is peing as a fighter he’s coming off a fighter of the Year caliber 2023 where

He beat the great vasil lomachenko and then he completely shut out Regis PR in his first fight at 140 before that he was over in Australia being the breaks off of George camposa so Devin Haney is hitting his stride as a fighter whereas Ryan Garcia is still trying to find

Himself I think as a fighter this will just be his second fight with Derek James in his corner and there’s still some adjusting in that fight against Oscar darte Ryan tried a whole bunch of different things including a shoulder roll defense that I think you and I both

Hope we never actually see Ryan Garcia try again so I understand why the odds are as high as they are but let me make the case that this can be a winnable fight for Ryan Garcia one you mentioned the familiarity even though these two guys have never fought in the pros and I

Don’t know anything about them sparring each other in the Pro ranks either they’ve been in the amateur in amateur fights six times that’s a lot and I get that the amateurs are different a lot of times we in headgear different type of situations but if you know who you’re

Getting in with and if you know what kind of power that fighter possesses and what kind of style that fighter is going to bring that’s going to make you I think a little more comfortable going into that fight the other thing is the power right like Devon Haney’s faced

Some good punchers reg’s PR gry very good punch puncher Devon Haney neutralized him throughout the fight he has never fought someone with that quick trigger speed that Ryan has Ryan’s power comes from his speed comes from hitting you with shots that you don’t see you know that remember go back to the dwarte

Fight dwarte first got buckled by a shot he didn’t see coming and that’s the kind of f those are the kind of punches that Ryan Garcia excels at throwing so I think Ryan if he prepares properly and he comes up with a couple of different

Game plans you know both a plan A and A Plan B um I think he’s got a shot of landing something big against Deon and if he does like he showed in that Duarte fight he can close the show one big punch can buckle you and then it’s the

Flurry of punches that can really beat you down this is the type of fight where Devon hayen can be controlling this fight but you’re right just one one good punch could actually shake the legs of Haney and if that happens early in the round you can bet Ryan Garcia is going

To go for the kill Haney is not the type of puncher that would punch in between the shots of Garcia so Garcia has him hurt I don’t see Haney uh throwing shots in between he’s going to cover up he’s going to move he’s going to do the smart

Thing he’s going to you know shake the cow webs but that’s the momentum that Ryan Garcia is going to need but and then that’s when the footwork comes in can he track down a fighter moving to the left moving to the right going backwards laterally you know we’ve seen

Him in the past have you you know issues doing that you know that fight with too he couldn’t track him down you know and too wasn’t really throwing anything uh back at him Haney you know he’s he’s at his best and yeah he’s peeking with his confidence heing fighting the best he is

The best pound-for-pound he’s one of the best so Devon hany has all that going for him so whether he’s hurt or in control I have him the favorite in this fight because of it he just knows how to deal with that type of pressure that type of uh magnitude and everything as

Far as the skills is on his part the speed and that quick twitch power is going to be on Ryan Garcia’s side the chin I think I’m going to favor Garcia the height I think the longer reach or the same reach but the Height’s going to

Be on Garcia so if you can utilize that and actually follow a game plan and switch up that game plan he’s going to give haey issues you know what I like about this fight too is that both these guys are great examples of why protecting your zero is bad for business

I mean Ryan Garcia uh was not afraid to go into a fight against tank Davis and just two fights after he got knocked out he’s going to step in the ring with a top five pound-for-pound guy in Devon Haney Deon Haney didn’t have to fight but lomachenko in his first real title

Defense after winning those belts against storge kosis he did it didn’t have to fight reg’s prog in his first fight at 140 he did it didn’t have to fight oryan Garcia though I completely understand why but he’s out there hunting the biggest fights regardless of the danger of them this is how boxing

Should be two top guys both in terms of skill power popularity going at it because I I just I don’t think there’s going to be a loser in this fight Sergio even if Ryan Garcia gets beat and two even if Devon Haney gets knocked out by

One big shot both these guys are going to be better for it because they’re going to come out of this with the experience of being another big fight yeah I mean it goes back to the prime of boxing in the 80s when Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns and all these Elite

Fighters were fighting all these guys mind you we in their early 20s to mid 20s that’s when the best that’s when you’re at your Peak not only you know as a man physically everything and popularity yeah these guys are both 25 years old they’re a Peak at the

Popularity and I just think that’s the reason we’re getting these Mega numbers just like tank did with Garcia I think we get similar numbers with Haney and we know Haney is a popular ticket seller Up Up in Southern California in the Bay Area so they’re both popular they’re

Both at their at their absolute you know popularity Peak let’s make it happen the the numbers are going to be there and you mentioned not risking the zero risking the zero that’s great because the risking the zero that undefeated record puts more zeros in your bank

Account like I like to say so it’s all great man everyone’s making out here and it’s great for the sport where are you at Peak as a man I’m I’m still trying to hit it man I’m still I’m still striving Chris manx how about you oh I’m years
