The previous two-time mild welterweight champion Prograis want to see Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) take a tune-up first earlier than dealing with Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) in a rematch as a result of he wants to return again from that loss.
Shaken Confidence
If he goes straight into the rematch, he’ll be crushed once more as a result of Ryan dominated him so badly of their battle on April twentieth final 12 months. Regis sees Garcia beating Haney once more, identical to final time.
Many followers imagine that Haney’s resolution to take a seat out of the ring for a 12 months is being made to attend on the rematch as a result of he doesn’t wish to take the danger of shedding to somebody.
Additionally, Devin did take a stay-busy battle, he would anticipate to be paid some huge cash, and he’s not going to get that dealing with a tomato can. If Devin was a PPV attraction like Gervonta Davis, he may battle a scrub and make good cash.
“I’m not going to say he’s shot. I don’t suppose that, however I don’t suppose he’s going to beat Ryan. Mentally, he is aware of he received beat. He dropped 3 times and received his a** whipped by Ryan,” mentioned Regis Prograis to YSM Sports activities Media when requested if Devin Haney is “shot,” however doesn’t suppose he can win a rematch with Ryan Garcia.
“That’s all the time going to be there. It doesn’t matter what they put on the market, and it doesn’t matter what Invoice [Haney] says, that’s all the time going to be behind his thoughts. ‘Rattling, he actually beat me.’ It doesn’t matter what they are saying concerning the steroids and all that kind of s***.
“You’ll be able to say what you need, however he nonetheless misplaced. Yeah, he [Ryan] was flawed. He was utilizing one thing he shouldn’t have imagined to, however how a lot did that actually depend? I don’t suppose Devin will be capable of beat Ryan, but when he fights any person else, I don’t know.”
Clearly, Haney isn’t shot, however his self-confidence is so low proper now that he’s unwilling to take any dangers as he waits for Ryan’s one-year suspension to be over. If he believed in himself, he’d keep busy and battle somebody like IBF champion Richardson Hitchins, Teofimo Lopez, or Shakur Stevenson.
Cashing Out?
“We’ll see what occurs subsequent. I don’t suppose they’re, and I don’t suppose they need to battle Ryan once more subsequent,” mentioned Prograis. “I believe they need to take a tuneup, one thing simpler, and see how he [Haney] does and go from there. I don’t suppose they’ll try this. I believe they’re good.
“Except the one cause they do that’s they’re attempting to money out, get a giant, large loopy sum of money. I believe a rematch with Ryan could be a giant a** sum of money. So, they most likely will try this, however for his career-wise, I don’t suppose he ought to battle Ryan subsequent.
“I believe he ought to strive one thing else after which battle him. So, all of it depends upon the danger vs. reward kind of factor. We received to see how he appears in his subsequent battle, the place it’s with Ryan or not with Ryan. So, I do know it’s a giant battle with Ryan, so possibly.
