Haney-Garcia: Who wins and how?

Gary Lockett (Trainer)

I have a strong desire to witness Ryan Garcia in action. However, I am not fond of certain remarks made by Devin Haney, as he comes across as overconfident and arrogant. Nonetheless, I must admit that Haney is the fighter who closely resembles [Floyd] Mayweather in terms of his boxing style. He possesses a similar shoulder roll technique and, although not the most powerful puncher, he displays precision and efficiency in his shots. Consequently, I believe Haney will likely outmaneuver Ryan Garcia and secure victory through superior boxing skills.

Gary Logan (Trainer)

Devin Haney is undoubtedly the superior all-round boxer compared to Garcia’s displayed skills. While Garcia possesses considerable power, he lacks the ability to counter Haney’s exceptional skill and strong work ethic. While there exists a slim possibility for Garcia to land a significant punch against Haney, it is unlikely that he will be able to outsmart Haney with strategic traps. Haney’s level of cleverness in the ring surpasses Garcia’s, making it challenging for the latter to defeat him.

Devin Haney exhibits a brilliant performance, showcasing his exceptional boxing skills and outsmarting Ryan Garcia to secure a points decision victory. Towards the end of the fight, there might be a solitary knockdown. However, it appears that Garcia is not mentally prepared for this bout, as evidenced by his recent online behavior. Despite initially giving Garcia a fighting chance, it is evident that Haney’s superior footspeed and evasive tactics will be the determining factors in this matchup.

Andy Lee (Trainer)

Devin Haney possesses superior fundamentals, whereas Ryan Garcia seems dedicated to his craft, although it’s uncertain how committed he truly is based on his social media presence. Garcia’s remarkable speed could catch Haney off guard and potentially cause an upset. Garcia’s tall stature and adeptness in counter punching, particularly with the left hook, make him a formidable opponent. However, my inclination leans towards Haney due to his solid fundamentals and the current momentum he has on his side.
