Today is Ryan Garcia's B Sample Day, and fans are wondering if the young superstar has tested positive for PEDs for his one-sided beating of young phenom Devin Haney in Brooklyn, New York last April. You will know.
Haney's future is in jeopardy
If Ryan's B sample tests negative for PEDs, it will vindicate him and show fans and the boxing world that it was a testing error. He could then take the next step and set up a megafight with Errol Spence or a lucrative rematch with Haney (31-1, 15 KOs), both of which would bring in huge paydays. .
Haney and promoter Eddie Hearn will be rooting for Ryan's B sample to be negative, as it could be Devin's last chance to cash in before his career takes a turn for the worse.
Haney won't make the money he made against Ryan Garcia against anyone other than Gervonta Davis, and that fight isn't likely to happen anytime soon unless Devin truly redeems himself rather than having the loss overturned by the commission and being awarded a win for his loss to Ryan last April.
That would look pathetic in the eyes of the fans. Haney will have to avenge his loss to Ryan, but that won't happen with a one- to two-year suspension or a lifetime ban, as Hearn hopes.
If Hearn threw Haney against any talented fighter at 140, he would get knocked out and that would be the end of it. He won't get the big money he made against Ryan, and he won't be able to return to 135 to use his size like he has in the past.
Ryan Garcia pleads not guilty and claims no foul play
“I know Devin Haney was the poster boy for the next Floyd Mayweather, but I definitely debunked that,” Ryan Garcia told DAZN Boxing, adding that the fight will bring him closer to superstardom. After defeating him, he talked about how he believes he was framed for testing positive for PEDs.Rising Devin Haney reveals he's not the next Floyd Mayweather Jr.
“Why don't you just take credit for me and be like, 'Oh, he's the best?'” You literally told me in a press conference that he was invincible. Anyone could lose, idiot. I might lose. Muhammad Ali lost. Mayweather was supposed to lose to Castillo in the first fight. Everyone loses in life.
“You're having literal crooks convict me of fraud,” Ryan said.
