Former two-weight champ Devin Haney is again within the gymnasium, or, because the attachment to the social media message informs us, Haney is again within the lab. Not seen in a hoop since his vastly controversial April combat with Ryan Garcia (and it’s an understatement to name the April combat that was held in New York vastly contentious, what with all of the aspect tales that went together with an over-the-weight Garcia’s broad determination win), Haney wants to indicate us all in 2025 that he nonetheless has rather a lot to supply the game.
Whether or not which means a repeat or revenge second combat with Garcia – Garcia suspended till the center of April as a result of sizzling check that sadly tarnished “King Ry’s” knockdown-filled win, later a no-contest – we will solely guess. However this specific sequel, if promoted and hyped proper, may very well be large. Briefly, if each fighters can come to an settlement on what weight a second combat takes place at, maybe the largest hurdle, this rematch looks as if an apparent one to make.
Haney was mad as hell even earlier than the combat, as Garcia did not make weight, and he was even angrier after dropping, seeking to take authorized motion in opposition to Garcia. Nevertheless, as a result of change in the results of the April combat, Haney, nonetheless the WBC champ at 140, determined to ditch the belt anyway. We are able to solely surmise at what weight Haney will field when he returns his ring.
Garcia, who noticed a deliberate December exhibition in Japan disintegrate, is weighing who is aware of what proper now. Nevertheless, upon returning to motion, Garcia might select the welterweight division. Possibly Haney will likely be prepared to fulfill Garcia at 147.
There are another huge combat potentialities on the market for Haney, who continues to be solely 26 years of age and is at present unbeaten at 31-0-1 no contest (15), however Haney has to indicate us that he’s not broken items. A tune-up, rust-remover of a comeback combat wouldn’t be a nasty thought right here. But when Haney isn’t a executed fighter, if he can relocate the form of kind that noticed him rating huge wins over the likes of George Kambosos Jr (twice), Vasilily Lomachenko (this an in depth, debatable determination win) and Regis Prograis, who is aware of, perhaps he can show to us all that “The Dream” isn’t but over.
Some individuals imagine that Garcia’s return combat completely should occur. At this level, it appears to be the largest combat for each males.
Who wins, and the way can Garcia and Haney agree on phrases and combat once more someday subsequent yr?
