I had completely underrated Ryan Garcia.

The commentary was also extremely biased towards Haney.

It was weird, Garcia at times seemed like he could completely outbox Haney from range when he wanted to, whicj was unbelievable to me. I couldn't quite believe how easily Garcia could land the chopping right hand from range, almost at will.

Obviously 3 lbs overweight is certainly a big advantage.

It's funny because you could see Teofimo absolutely destroying these guys on a good day too...and then he could have a bad day. All very mercurial.

Everything about the fight was strange

Nobody thought he deserved it but Haney chose Garcia because he thought he was an easy touch

Garcia has a meltdown in training camp

Garcia misses weight but Haney says **** it and still fights

WBC says **** it & Haney will retain titles irrespective of result

Defensive specialist Haney made to look like a face first fighter

Now Haney is damaged goods but still champion

What's crazy is dominating the fight like that when half the time you're doing that stupid ineffectual shoulder roll and another 3rd of the fight you're dancing around the ring for fun. I mean really it felt like he could have stopped him at any time if he just stopped screwing around.

The commentary and referee were all clearly on Haney's side yet anyone with eyes could see that Garcia was pretty much toying with him.

One of the most shocking fights I've watched over the last 10 years in terms of my expectations going in.

Have only seen the highlights

Haney was wide open for the left hand for a long time before Garcia even threw it for the first knockdown

 

[hendrix]

Yeah.

Question is will any of these guys fight Subriel Matias?

There was a funny exchange between Garcia’s dad and Eddie Hearn caught on video

Garcia’s father was abusing Eddie for some reason until Hearn mentioned a fight with Boots

That fight ain’t happening

The co-main event was a bore, but an insane robbery imo.

I wonder did McComb do himself any favors with the Palestine shorts

Not much interest in watching Haney stroll to a UD sadly.

Ping @poorlyagedstuff

Monumental upset.
