Garcia (24-1, 20 Kos) says Bill tries to strengthen his son’s self-comparison because he lost it in the way he was beaten last April. But he also has the feeling that Bill is trying to start an early start of interest on October resemble.
Ryan faces Rolando this Friday evening in the headliner in the headliner, while Haney (31-0, 15 Kos) fights against Jose Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOS) in the 12-round KO feature. The event is shown live on dazn PPV, from 6:00 p.m. ET on May 2.
“It is only that ‘you look thin.’ He tried to prove that I did peds. Fight Hub TV When asked what his argument with Devin Haney at today’s last press conference.
Haney’s motifs
- Financial incentives – most important.
- Restore his reputation
- repayment
- Prove that it was a coincidence
“It will always be difficult. I fought for all my fights at 143. I never fought with 140,” said Ryan that it was difficult for him to make weight. “So, no matter whatever, even in the 140s, everything will be difficult.”
At that time in Garcia’s career, he has to be at 147 because, as he said, he never fought at 140. Even if he tries to make a catch weight of 143, it is difficult for him. The Light Welterweight Division is dead anyway. Ryan is better off to fight in the world weight, and he is ready to take over the division after Jaron Ennis has moved to 154.
“I did it right this time. I don’t cut it in the last second. As you can see, I’m already thin. I am already too weight. The last time I waited until the last day to lose 13 pound what is crazy, and only 10,” said Ryan about the weight of his last fight against Haney on April 20.
The attempt to lose 13 pound in one day explains why Garcia was overweight for his last fight against Haney. His discipline was missing in the preparation for this mega battle. This is surprising, but it shows how confused Ryan’s life was back then.
Thin remarks
“So if he (Devin) says: ‘You look thinly,’ yes, I cut. They try to butter and make themselves more confident. That is what it is. Again he (Bill Haney) is just trying to build up the fight.
“His son has no faith in himself. This is exactly what he tries to do. He tries to find an edge.
