Chris Algieri says Devin Haney’s picture is being torn aside on X over his resolution to sue Ryan Garcia for battery, fraud, and unjust enrichment within the aftermath of their struggle on April twentieth.
Haney’s resolution to provoke a lawsuit in response to his defeat in opposition to Ryan and his optimistic PED take a look at for Ostarine has induced lots of criticism from followers on social media.
Algieri feels that till Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) will get again within the ring and will get some good wins beneath his belt, he’ll proceed to be ridiculed. It could have been higher for Haney to attend on the lawsuit till he received a few wins over elite-level fighters. Nevertheless, at this level, it’s a must to surprise who Haney is able to beating.
If Haney is combating at welterweight in opposition to fighters his personal measurement, it’s questionable whether or not he can be a strong favourite in opposition to any of the nice fighters in that division. Clearly, Haney would stand no probability in opposition to Jaron Ennis, however he can be up in opposition to it combating Brian Norman Jr. as properly. These two are in all probability one of the best fighters at 147.
“Devin Haney won’t ever have the ability to beat me. We are able to struggle 100 instances, and I’ll beat him 100 instances,” stated Ryan Garcia on social media. “He got here in heavier than me, which is loopy like he does in each struggle. He simply couldn’t take the left hook.”
The way in which the struggle performed out between Ryan and Haney final April, it might require the proper sport plan for Devin to win the rematch. Even then, Haney’s punch resistance and his incapability to cease Ryan’s left hook will proceed to be an issue.
“I’ll see you guys within the ring quickly, and once I do, it’s going to be spectacular like I all the time do,” stated Garcia.
“The picture of Devin Haney is getting ripped by means of. When you’re watching Twitter, it’s getting dragged by means of the mud, Haney’s picture. This isn’t actually serving to his picture, however the struggle did damage his incomes potential,” stated Chris Algieri to Probox TV.
I feel Haney and his dad, Invoice, might have misjudged the followers’ response to their resolution to sue Ryan. Possibly they thought followers would cheer them on with assist, however they received it incorrect as a result of they’re now seen as weak and unable to just accept a loss.
“We noticed that within the purse bid for his very subsequent struggle [Sandor Martin], the place actually no promoters wished it and went to a really low purse bid [$2.4 million] for what he was used to creating primarily based on the loss, which has now been stricken from the report.
“So, his incomes potential has been damage. His picture, I don’t suppose he’s getting that out of the gutter anytime quickly till he will get again within the ring and wins some large fights. I don’t suppose that is going to make a distinction when it comes to the game,” stated Algieri.
Haney ought to have already returned to the ring to proceed his profession as a result of he’s not suspended and lacking out. He had a chance to defend his former WBC gentle welterweight title in opposition to Sandor Martin however selected to not. Despite the fact that it might have been a giant pay minimize for Haney, a minimum of he might have gotten a win beneath his belt to indicate that he’s not the fighter that Ryan defeated.
“Till there’s a unified fee that truly has tooth that may make certain to miss it in the proper method, I feel that is going to proceed,” stated Algieri.
If there may be going to be a unified fee one in all today, they should deal with not solely PEDs but additionally fighters that rehydate big quantities of weight. That’s equally an issue, unfair and harmful.
