Analyst Tim Bradley said Ryan Garcia fought like he had a “chip on his shoulder” following his upset of WBC light welterweight champion Devin Haney in New York last Saturday night. said.
Bradley made himself look bad by saying that picking Haney as the winner seemed ridiculous and that there wasn't a level playing field because Ryan had lost a few pounds. He seemed like someone who couldn't admit he was wrong.
“C Level” Fighter’s Counterattack
So many people excluded Ryan and Haney (31-1, 15 KOs), calling him a “C-level fighter” and not worthy of being in the ring together, but he defeated the champion in 12 rounds. , a majority vote that proved everyone wrong.
Bradley feels the look in Ryan (25-1, 20 KOs)'s eyes after he was hit showed he wasn't going anywhere and was determined to win. It's more than that. Ryan had superior hand speed and power and was better suited to a brawling style of fighting than Haney.
I think he was a fish out of water when Haney tried to go to war with Ryan. It wasn't Haney's game. Because he's a Shakur Stevenson type of fighter who always fights on the outside, jabs, holds, and tries to avoid punches.
Haney's hustle may be over
Haney is not a puncher, so his father, Bill Haney, has carefully tailored him throughout his career. He distanced himself from powerful players and played against smaller opponents.
They have a good fight in which Haney fights three weight classes below his actual size, which has helped him beat guys he never would have been able to beat if he was the same size.
Against Ryan, Haney lacked a size advantage and was up against an opponent with far superior hand speed and punching ability. The only way for Haney to win is to use his size advantage, and he couldn't do that against Ryan.
“Ryan came into the ring with a hit in the shoulder. It wasn't a left hook from Ryan. What impressed me was his determination, because when Haney caught him and shook him, the look in his eyes 'I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to give you hell, I'm going to get you and knock you out,' Tim Bradley said on Probox TV's YouTube channel. Garcia talked about his win over Devin Haney.
