Though the New York Fee overturned Haney’s 12-round majority resolution defeat, altering it to a no-contest, he nonetheless took a beating from Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs). The world noticed what occurred, and so they nonetheless view Devin as having misplaced.
Ryan’s Punches Inflicted Vital Harm
Hearn feels that Haney was technically poor, making errors left and proper on the night time, beginning along with his leaky protection. However his resolution to slug with Ryan was Haney’s undoing as a result of he didn’t possess the punch resistance or the facility to win that form of a battle.
“He had the flexibility to harm Devin with each shot he landed. The left hook was a robust punch,” stated Eddie Hearn to All The Smoke channel about Devin Haney’s loss to Ryan Garcia.”The primary spherical was a serious drawback, and it took Devin some time to recover from that. I’m considering, ‘He’ll [Ryan] gasoline,’ however tactically, Devin was actually poor. His protection was leaky. His ft weren’t actually there.”
Ryan light in every spherical however recovered shortly and continued to harm Haney. When Ryan rested, Haney didn’t have sufficient energy to reap the benefits of the lulls.
Haney’s Weight Struggles and Fatigue
“Then I began considering, ‘How properly did you [Haney] make the burden?’ You went by the coaching camp with doubts in your thoughts about whether or not this battle was even going to occur,” stated Hearn. “He’s at all times tight on the weight. How he made 135 for therefore lengthy, after which he bought harm [by Ryan] and knocked down.”
Haney appeared drained in the course of the weigh-in, which can have affected him on the night time of the battle. We’d seen in Haney’s final battle that he didn’t belong at 140 lbs, with him rehydrating to 165 lbs for his battle in opposition to Regis Prograis final December.
That’s an absurd quantity of weight, and it was shocking that Prograis didn’t reap the benefits of it. Maybe he was too outdated at 35. Nevertheless, Ryan was capable of capitalize on a weakened Haney and harm from the primary spherical.
A Battered and Exhausted Haney
“I don’t assume folks really give him credit score for what he went by that night time,” stated Hearn about Haney. “He took a beating in that battle. His [Haney] face after the battle, his jaw was out right here. He confirmed large coronary heart. So think about going by that ache. One, the man [Ryan] is very large on the night time. You’ll be able to really feel it, and you already know it, after which discovering out the man was popped for his pre-fight check and post-fight check.”
Haney went by loads, getting knocked down thrice, and the referee helped him loads by taking some extent off Ryan for hitting on the break within the seventh spherical after he’d been harm.
“‘He was large.’ Devin rehydrates heavy, however Ryan was big that night time,” stated Hearn.
