One of the most exciting young talents in the boxing world, Ryan Garcia, gave his prediction on the upcoming match between Devin Haney and Regis Prograis. Not only did he toss the gauntlet for the victor, but he also hinted at a potential return to the ring in March.
Many fans and pundits are keenly looking forward to the Prograis vs. Haney bout, where the latter will defend his WBC Lightweight title against the former WBA Light-Welterweight champion. Even more intriguing to some is the possibility of Ryan Garcia going toe-to-toe with the eventual winner.
Highlighting his sharp and analytical mind, Garcia offered a detailed breakdown of the prospective fight. “I think it’s going to be a great fight. Both fighters are highly skilled, and they’ve been doin’ big things in boxing. But if I had to make a prediction, I think Haney has the edge. He is more disciplined, and his reach could give Prograis some serious problems,” Garcia commented.
However, his game-read just doesn’t stop at predicting the potential winner. The ‘Flash,’ as Garcia is popularly known in the boxing world, expressed his eagerness to fight the winner of the looming bout. “I want the winner next. I am always up for a challenge, and this is a battle that I believe the fans would love to see,” Garcia threw down the challenge.
The prospect of a fight between Garcia and the winner of the Haney-Prograis match can be intriguing for boxing enthusiasts. As a professional, Garcia boasts an unbeaten run of 20-0 (17 KO). He became the interim WBC Lightweight champion after beating Luke Campbell in January 2021.
Garcia’s potential opponents also bring impressive records to the table with Haney having a perfect run of 26-0 (15 KO), and Prograis holding a 26-1 (22 KO) record, his only loss coming against Josh Taylor.
Adding more excitement to this scenario, Garcia not only predicted the upcoming bout but also hinted at a possible return to professional boxing in March. The 23-year-old has been out of action since January due to several personal reasons. “I’m looking forward to returning to the ring next year, preferably in March,” expressed the eager-to-return Garcia.
If all goes according to plan, fans could be in for a treat with mouth-watering bouts featuring these boxing prodigies in 2022. Both Haney and Prograis have yet to respond to Garcia’s challenge but judging by their career arcs and fighting styles, the confrontations promise to be thrilling.
With Garcia, Haney, and Prograis at the pinnacle of their game, the lightweight division currently has a plethora of young talents. These three boxer’s potential showdowns serve as a testament to the exciting phase the sport is going through. 2022 could indeed shape up to be a memorable year for boxing fans.
To sum up, Garcia’s involvement in potential future bouts and his anticipated return make for an intriguing boxing narrative. Would his predictions come to fruition? Will the knockout artist defend his interim WBC Lightweight title against the winner of the Progais-Haney fight? Can he make a triumphant return in March? Only time will tell!
