The recent dominating victory of Ryan Garcia over Devin Haney has caught the attention of many in the boxing world, including Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez. Canelo, who has trained with Garcia in the past, showed his respect for Garcia’s impressive performance during their fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
The fight between Garcia and Haney was such a one-sided affair that Garcia even stopped fighting for a moment to plead with Devin’s father, Bill Haney, to throw in the towel and save his son from further punishment. Unfortunately, Bill did not heed this request, leading to Devin enduring a full 12-round beating.
In a recent media interview, Canelo expressed his lack of surprise at Garcia’s victory, stating, “Nothing surprised me. I think Ryan has a lot of talent and I’m really happy for him.” Canelo, having trained with Garcia under Eddy Reynoso, has witnessed first-hand the skills and potential that Garcia possesses.
With his victory over Haney, Garcia has now positioned himself to take on any opponent in the sport and participate in big-money fights. Despite Ryan’s desire for a rematch with Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, it is unlikely to happen due to potential weight stipulations, which Garcia is not willing to accommodate.
As Ryan Garcia continues to rack up wins in his career, he is quickly becoming a significant figure in the boxing world. With the potential to surpass Canelo as the ‘Face of Boxing’ in terms of money-making, Garcia’s future is indeed bright. tank Davis may view himself as the face, but it wasn’t until his fight with Ryan that he was involved in a PPV fight that brought in substantial numbers.
Ryan Garcia’s victory over Devin Haney has solidified his position as a rising star in the boxing world. With the support and respect of industry veterans like Canelo Alvarez, Garcia’s future looks promising as he continues to climb the ranks and take on new challenges in the sport.
