Was Devin Haney robbed?

Here are the official scorecards.

The judge that scored it a draw had Haney winning the 6th, had the 7th 9-8 Garcia. I have no issue with Haney winning 6 rounds (2-5 + 8 and 9) as I gave him all those rounds too but giving him the 6th as well was curious. The 6th was a relatively close round, but I thought Garcia did enough and just landed the better shots.

I mean, the only difference between Max DeLuca's card and my own card is the scoring of the 6th and the scoring of two of the knockdown rounds. And I would expect all the judges to score the knockdown rounds as he did. I gave an additional point in the 7th and the 10th to Garcia, due to his level of domination, and due to the fact that there were arguably more knockdowns that the ref saved Haney from, but that's me. Official judges are trained to score 1 knockdown rounds 10-8 so that's expected.

So the only thing really causing it to be a draw was his scoring of the 6th round.

 

Haney wa awful, it was clear that Garcia was the better boxer, Haney was helped by the ref and would have been stopped if not for all his excessive holding.

 

Ryan was robbed of a round 7 KO lmao

 

If he wouldn't have blatantly hit Devin on the break he may have gotten it. But he made a mistake, causing the ref to deduct a point and give Haney a breather.

 

If you got points for hugging on for dear life then Haney would have won every round!

 

Nobody who knows the sport can make a case for Haney winning that fight. That’s just ludicrous. Haney had success in rounds 2-5 but that was it. Three knockdowns, which arguably could have been five, is hard to overcome without winning every other round where there wasn’t one. Garcia beat him up and broke his jaw. The ref couldn’t save Haney although he did his best to try.

 

yes but there was one or two knockdowns that weren’t counted in that round

 

Yeah, Garcia robbed his soul & spirit

 

Haney was definitely robbed.... of a knockout loss. Replace Harvey Dock with a competent referee and Haney doesn't see the 12th.

 

''And down goes Devin Haney!''

 

I recall Haney saying he would never lose to a white boy
