Next fight of Ryan Garcia is not determined yet.
Ryan Garcia defeated WBC super-lightweight champion Devin Haney in a recent weekend match, aided by unexpected advice from boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. Their meeting months ago impacted Garcia's strategic approach to his boxing career heavily influencing his decision on which opponents to face.
Former world champion Timothy Bradley believes a lack of concentration cost Devin Haney a win in his fight against Ryan Garcia.
"I don't know if Haney had a mental gap. I think he hinted at it in the interview when he said he lost his guard. You can't do that at the highest level. I thought he had mastered superior concentration. But I didn't see that. I saw it in the Prograis fight. I saw it a little bit in the Lomachenko fight. I thought he was starting to develop concentration. In the Garcia fight, Haney didn't have the concentration. That may have played a big part in him getting staggered in the first round and falling.
When you go down, you want to respond right away, you try to be a puncher. Haney started coming forward and it was the wrong plan for the fight. He wasn't ready for Ryan's left hook," Bradley said.
Recall that on April 20, Garcia defeated Haney by majority decision, knocking him down three times.
At the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Ryan Garcia won a closely contested boxing match against Devin Haney by majority decision. The fight, fraught with controversy due to Garcia's weight issue, ended with no rematch in sight as per promoter Oscar De La Hoya.
Devin Haney, WBC bantamweight champion of the world, commented on his loss to Ryan Garcia.
"Allah has the perfect plan, I trust him. I'm unlucky right now, but I remain a true fighter. I always want to get in the ring against the best of the best. Ryan won that night. I think weight played a part in that outcome. I would like to have a rematch and show the fans a fair fight within the agreed limit", - wrote Haney in social networks.
Recall, Haney lost to Garcia by majority decision of the judges. At the same time, Devin retained his championship belt, because Garcia failed the weigh-in before the fight.
Former World Heavyweight Champion Andy Ruiz commented on Ryan Garcia's win against Devin Haney.
"I think it was an amazing fight. I was surprised, I was shocked because Garcia had everyone fooled by saying he wasn't training, drinking and smoking. I was very shocked.
I assumed Devin Haney would outbox him. In reality he was aggressive with his punches. I believe he shouldn't have done that. I think if Haney had boxed more, it would have been better for him. But I'm glad Garcia won and did what he had to do," Ruiz said in an interview with YouTube channel Fight Hub TV.
Recall that on April 20, Garcia defeated Haney by majority decision of the judges, sending him to knockdown three times.
