After seeing the press conference, I’m 100 percent convinced that Ryan is not taking this fight seriously. He’s here for a pay day.
Not only that, he's making it plainly obvious. It's possible he is taking it seriously and this is just a hedge .....if/when he loses, he can claim he didn't take it seriously
Yup…the way he ran away after the face of the boy needs to stop doing drugs. Sad really because RY hand speed & punching power to beat Haney or at least rock his world. His ring IQ, footwork and that shit defense he show in the last fight will do him in….he will be a passive little bitch and walk into Haney punches all night.
Ryan is running game imo. He's trying to trick team Haney into thinking he's getting stoned every day in the hopes that it makes Dev underestimate him. I'm pretty sure that's what he's doing. The Haney's might be assholes, but I dont think they're dumb enough to fall for that. Bill himself said that he didn't believe Ryan was really getting high.
I said this on another thread, but look at this crop we have at 135-140: Tank, Haney, Ryan, Teo, Shakur, and Rolly. Not a single likable MF out that lot. My God the sport has gotten bad.
All cunts. At least Devin and Teo have shown willingness to fight legit guys. The rest of those guys are clout chasing clowns, though. All pussies worried more about protecting their O and making easy bucks versus fighting the best.
The good news is that this fight is getting a lot of mainstream attention. I'm all for any fight getting mainstream attention, as long as it involves two pros, and not streamers like Jake Paul or KSI. Haney-Garcia is gonna do well on PPV I think. No way it touches the buys Davis-Garcia did last year, but it should do fairly well. A lot of casuals will be ordering.
When it turns out to be a one sided fight it wont benefit boxing. The Abdul Wahid - Garcia fight sold great but wasnt some stellar battle to lure in casual viewers. mismatches dont help the cause
I somewhat disagree. No, mismatches aren't good, but in this particular case, most people are tuning in to see Ryan get his ass whupped. If that's what happens (and that is what will happen), then they'll be satisfied. I'm sure there's some delusional people who will order it thinking it's a 50-50 fight, but most people out there understand that Haney is the big favorite.

Also, there's a better chance of this fight being competitive than Davis-Garcia. I said numerous times before Davis-Garcia that I saw ZERO path for Ryan winning. There is a path for Ryan beating Haney. It's not the most likely path, but at least it exists.
I'm sure he' s getting high from time to time., but not on a regular basis where it could really hurt his performance. However, there's definitely a ''cash out'' vibe coming out of Garcia so I wouldn't be totally shocked if he s not taking this seriously.
Plenty of athletes smoke weed after working out to cool down. Not an issue. In other news Raymond Ford just stopped some fella from uzBeckyStan with 7 seconds left in a chavez taylor type come from behind fight
Ryan is completely losing his shit on social media. Acting erratic as Hell. It might get an act to divert Haney; or the kid might having some sort of mental break.
Ryan probably has bipolar disorder mixed with anxiety and depression. He seems to be on a high right now and then it’ll be followed by a low of lows.
He’s definitely suffering from mental disorder. Seriously, I can’t even comprehend what this latest tweet from him is supposed to be about. https://twitter.com/RyanGarcia/status/1764342801490116756?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1764342801490116756|twgr^|twcon^s1_&ref_url=
Yeah but since they're fighting in NY he can't. Will get him DQ'd or changed to NC if he were to win.
Post fight? I guess he could be stuck with a NC if he KOd haney and then pissed dirty after. Wouldn't hurt his brand at all, in that unlikely outcome That would only matter if he gave a fuck about whatever belt haney has
Seems like he's trying too hard more than anything. As for his father, Nappy hair aint the worst racial slur, but you have to be a total idiot and clown to say it in public
As a BLACK Man, REED Had No Issues w/the Nappy Hair Comment of Ryan’s Father… Dollar Bill Haney GASLIT the Entire Situation By Referring to Garcia’s Toupee, Not Once But Twice…Dollar Bill Initiated the Exchange, So Ryan’s Father Dug Even LOWER to End the Exchange… Can’t Be Antagonist AND the Victim, Simultaneously… In and Of Itself, Calling Someone’s Hair “Nappy” Isn’t Racist…Unwise to Say, in the Loooong Run, But Not Racist… REED
oh. didnt watch the whole altercation, but yeah, if bill was making fun of Ryan father hair, It was a pretty much fairgame
