Bradley cited the reason for Haney's defeat of Garcia

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.
