Henry Garcia says he charges light-weight contender Oscar Duarte as a greater fighter than Devin Haney and would beat him. Henry’s son, Ryan Garcia, knocked out Duarte (27-2-1, 22 KOs) within the eighth spherical final 12 months on December 2nd in a battle that noticed each fighters touchdown bombs.
Henry says he doubts Haney will select to battle a giant puncher like Duarte when he makes his comeback, which is an affordable assumption to make.
The way in which that Ryan repeatedly harm Haney in his 12-round majority determination loss on April twentieth, there’s no likelihood that he’ll face a giant puncher when he returns to the ring. Devin’s dad, Invoice Haney, will fastidiously select his subsequent opponent and ensure the man can’t begin the place Ryan left off.
Duarte, 28, appeared spectacular in his final battle, knocking out former IBF tremendous featherweight champion Joseph ‘Jojo’ Diaz within the ninth spherical on April twenty seventh. Duarte will likely be preventing Botirzhon Akhmedov this month in a 12-round contest on November sixteenth on Latino Night time at The Venue in Riyadh.
“I believe Oscar Duarte is best than Devin Haney. If Oscar Duarte fights Haney, he’ll knock him down; possibly knock him out too,” mentioned Henry Garcia to Fighthype, speaking about Ryan Garcia’s heavy-handed previous opponent Oscar Duarte.
It could be fascinating if Haney had been to decide on Duarte for his subsequent battle simply to indicate the boxing world that he’s courageous sufficient to take a robust fighter after what he went via towards Kingry. Haney has made himself look weak by selecting to sue Ryan for battery over his loss as a result of that compounds the scenario.
“Ryan advised me, and Ryan doesn’t actually reveal issues to me. He mentioned, ‘Hey, Dad. That Oscar Duarte had some punches that I didn’t really feel with these different guys. So, when he tells me that, he’s opening as much as me,” mentioned Henry.
“Mark my phrases. When Devin comes again, there’s no approach he’s going to battle somebody with energy. There’s no approach,” mentioned Henry.
There positively is zero likelihood that Haney would dare battle somebody with energy when he comes again as a result of the likelihood of him being harm can be excessive. Even earlier than the battle with Ryan, Haney can be at risk.
