On the heels of their controversial bout, boxing superstar Ryan Garcia has stepped up for a verbal jab at rival Devin Haney, boldly proclaiming him ‘damaged’ and predicting a dire fate for him if a much-speculated rematch materializes. Garcia’s assertion has added an electrifying twist to the rivalry that has been simmering between the two, igniting a heated debate among boxing enthusiasts around the globe.
“Haney is already damaged goods,”, Garcia declared in a recent podcast, “and in a rematch, it will be much worse for him“. Garcia’s bitter comment and his blatant disregard for his contemporary might appear harsh to some, but it reflects the unyielding competition between the two fighters, both of whom are known for their fiery personas both inside and outside the ring.
Since his withdrawal from his mandatory title shot against Javier Fortuna due to health concerns, Garcia has been nursing a hand injury. Meanwhile, Haney has been in the limelight for his victorious performance against Jorge Linares, continuing to hold the WBC title. However, Garcia believes that the hard-fought battle with Linares has shown signs of Haney’s vulnerability.
Garcia and Haney hold a long history of rivalry. As amateurs, they had clashed six times, with Garcia securing four victories. Their most recent match in February 2020, when Garcia’s boxing prowess was adjudged superior by the judges, has ignited a desire for a rematch in both camps.
However, as per Garcia’s recent revelations, he doesn’t seem to be bothered by the prospect of a rematch and is already expressing confidence in his winning prospects. As a matter of fact, Garcia’s narrative has been backed up by many boxing experts who feel that Garcia’s aggressive boxing style will dominate Haney’s calculated yet conservative approach. The rematch, if it happens, promises to be an epic event in the world of boxing.
“There’s not much left to say other than this fight needs to happen”, added Garcia. He went on to say that the boxing world needs answers, and the only way to clear things out is by staging a rematch. For the fans who have been eagerly anticipating this bout, Garcia’s recent comments have only added to their excitement and curiosity.
Devin Haney, should he agree to be part of this rematch, will need to draw upon his experience and technical abilities to prove his worth. His supporters are unwavering in their conviction that, far from being “damaged goods”, Haney is just as skilled and worthy a contender as his more vocal opponent. In their eyes, Haney has already displayed plenty of boxing prowess in his fights till date, and they see him besting Garcia if given the chance again.
While the call for a rematch heats up, it remains intriguing to see how Haney responds to the comments coming from the Garcia camp. Meanwhile, the boxing fraternity awaits with bated breath for this potential rematch, which, as per Garcia, could serve as a merciless epitome of his boxing supremacy.
In conclusion, whether it’s the strength and aggression of Ryan Garcia or the acumen and consistency of Devin Haney, this rematch is expected to break all previous records. The boxing world is waiting for the fire to spark, anticipating an epic duel that will add another exciting chapter to the sport’s illustrious history.
