Ryan Garcia's strange behavior outside the ring has worried Devin Haney's promoter Eddie Hearn, and trainer Oscar De La Hoya and his parents are working to determine whether he is fit for the April 20 fight. I hope you will give it to me. Ryan's actions are a dumpster fire.
Hearn said his opponent, WBC light welterweight champion Haney (31-0, 15 KOs), is “not very happy” with Ryan's current situation. Considering the practice time Ryan spent preparing for this match could be wasted if he were to be pulled.
Haney pays the price for risky choices
Hearn and Devin should have opened their eyes before choosing Ryan. It's not like they didn't know about Ryan's past mental problems. They chose him over the fighter anyway.
- Subriel Mathias
- arnold barboza jr.
- Shakur Stevenson
This decision could hurt their collective backside if Ryan needs to be pulled out of the fight to get psychological help. Hearn feels that if Ryan was sacked now, he could have been sacked four weeks ago. The problem has been visible for weeks.
Hearn sounds the alarm
“I saw Ryan Garcia sprinting and sparring this morning. We only see what's posted on social media,” promoter Eddie Hearn told WBC on April 20. Ryan Garcia spoke to iFL TV about his actions ahead of his fight with light welterweight champion Devin Haney.
“Does his behavior bother you? Probably so, but how is he doing in the gym? Derrick James is a very respectable trainer. If he's not 100 percent, he's Ryan “I don't think we'll let Garcia go to the fight,” Hearn continued.
Haney took a chance on the troubled fighter, eyeing the fame and money he could get. This could have been avoided if Devin and Hearn had avoided Ryan and selected another fighter.
“Oscar De La Hoya shouldn't have Ryan Garcia in this fight if he's not 100 percent physically and mentally,” Hearn said. “Families shouldn't do that. Therefore, he needs to trust those around him to make the right decisions.
“Given the fact that he's still in the game with four weeks left, you'd probably have to think he'll be in the game. I don't think Devin will be very happy. Devin is training. The other day. That night, I said to him, “Just do what you have to do.''
Hahn tries to sound diplomatic.
“Devin is the ultimate professional. He never cuts corners. He's always mentally pushed. The only fear we have is that this fight gets canceled. Devin “We've spent all of that money and energy on camps for guys who weren't able to fight and weren't meant to be in the ring in the first place,” Hearn said.
In other words, Hearn is concerned that Ryan might flake at the last minute, leaving Haney hanging and having to bring in Barboza Jr. as his replacement. This means another disaster on PPV for Haney, who is not a pay-per-view attraction, and Barboza as well.
“If he was pulled between now and the fight, he should have been pulled four weeks ago. So, hopefully he gets in the ring,” Hearn said of Ryan. “He's got good people around him who are knowledgeable about the sport. Let's hope they make the right decision, and if it's the right decision for him to fight, great.”
