Devin and his dad, Invoice Haney, need the rematch with Kingry to avenge their loss from final April. Additionally, it’s one of many best-paying fights for Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) in 2025. Nonetheless, if he loses the rematch with Garcia, his profession is completed. He’d be regretting taking that struggle for the remainder of his life.

Andrade Critiques Haney
“At first, I assumed Devin Haney for a very long time as a result of I assumed he was going to develop right into a Sugar Ray Leonard fashion man, nevertheless it simply hasn’t been lately going that means,” stated Demetrius Andrade to MillCity Boxing about him initially believing that Devin Haney can be the man to defeat Gervonta Davis.
“I don’t know if he [Haney] obtained too complacent or not. He’s nonetheless younger as a result of they make some good cash, after which they cease working. I’m not saying he doesn’t work onerous. I assumed he can be the man to beat Tank sooner or later. Beat lots of them guys, actually.
“I believe he has the talents to beat everyone, however that Ryan Garcia factor. No matter that little substance that he took, he didn’t present no expertise of dominance versus Ryan, and Ryan regarded like s*** at moments. He was drained,” stated Andrade.
If Andrade significantly thought Haney would grow to be changing into the subsequent Sugar Ray Leonard, it means he wasn’t round when he was preventing. Haney fights nothing like Leonard did. Even an older model of Sugar Ray in 1997 was ranges above Devin talent-wise.
“There have been many rounds in that struggle the place Devin ought to have pressed and pushed, and he didn’t,” stated Andrade. “He simply let it stick with it, and he was throwing them Caleb Plant jabs. It wasn’t doing nothing, and Ryan simply boop-boop. That was a tough one,” stated Andrade about Haney’s loss to Garcia.
Haney was attempting to neutralize Ryan’s left hook by clinching excessively, however he stored getting nailed whereas trying to seize him. He’d gotten away with preventing that means in his two fights in opposition to George Kambosos Jr. and his conflict in opposition to Vasily Lomachenkp. That tactic didn’t work in opposition to Garcia.
