Tim Bradley needs former two-division world champion Devin Haney to return to Mexico, the place he began his skilled profession in 2015. Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) fought 10 instances towards low-level opposition in Tijuana, Mexico, earlier than coming to the U.S.
Haney misplaced to Ryan Garcia by a 12-round majority resolution on April twentieth, and he seemed weak within the chin division. His energy was weak as effectively. Sadly, these items gained’t change when Devin, 26, returns to Mexico to struggle second and third-tier opposition.
Humble Pie In Tijuana?
Bradley fails to notice that Haney needs large cash for his fights now, as he and his dad, Invoice, really feel they’ve arrived. They need the larger paydays from combating within the U.S. towards top-tier opposition. They gained’t need to take a dramatic pay minimize by combating in Mexico. I don’t see that as lifelike.
As soon as fighters begin making thousands and thousands from their fights, they don’t need to return to creating chump change, like they did once they started their careers. Apart from, they punch laborious in Mexico, too, and people fighters will goal Haney’s glass chin from the bounce, seeking to exploit what Ryan Garcia uncovered.
“Devin Haney, you need to get again? Return to your roots, bro,” mentioned Tim Bradley on X, giving some pearls of knowledge to the just lately overwhelmed Devin Haney. “Return to the place you began. The place did you begin? You began in Mexico. Return and get a kind of guys out of there, man.
“Return there and begin there. Get a few of that humble pie. Return to the place you began. When you return to the place you began, I’m telling you. You’re coming to return again on prime,” mentioned Bradley.
Haney’s chin isn’t robust sufficient to take large pictures from fighters within the sport. Going again to Mexico gained’t magically repair that downside. One can solely think about what a Mexican slugger like Oscar Duarte would do to Devin if he obtained the chance to struggle him.
If it have been that simple for fighters to restore their careers by combating in Mexico, everybody would do it. That’s not the way it works. The one factor Haney will accomplish by returning to Tijuana, Mexico, is padding his resume the way in which he’d finished earlier than.
