Good interview, no BS, explains how Haney f-ed up, and how Ryan had a good game plan. Very honest assessment. He says his coner panicked. This content is protected
This is bull****. Haney has been a weight bully his entire career and finally met someone his own size who was faster and stronger.
That Ryan's 3 lbs played a factor wasn't the main thing he said. He also said that if it was up to him he would have stopped the fight. I thought his interview has been the most honest one so far. I liked how he was honest and said that the corner panicked. He also gave Ryan credit for his defense, and he's right, Ryan took very minimal punishment.
Did Ryan look 17lbs heavier than ever before? If so, lets see some evidence of this? I can concede he might have come in heavier than he has before but he weighs 148 at 140, rehydrating just 8lbs after the weigh in, and he would've had to rehydrate 17lbs more than that just to weigh the same as Haney. If he weighed 17lbs more than ever before it would be very noticeable for goodness sake Haney cannot beat Ryan. He just cannot take that power. The first prime young legit puncher closer to his size he's ever fought and he got bounced up a d down off the canvas like a yo-yo and he would've been laid out cold had the ref not been batting for Team Haney. As I said in the RBR thread, Ryan hurt Haney or dropped him everytime he strung an attack together with conviction and landed clean. Haney just cannot take that power. He just don't got the chin to withstand the power of a legit puncher closer to his size who has a comparable reach to land with their bombs.
In the Patrick Bet-David interview I just saw Ryan said he was about 160lbs in the ring, so take that as you wish. Still less than Haney was against Prograis though.
OK thanks. I was hoping someone was going to ask him how much he weighed. I knew he was heavier than before but I thought it would be about 155 given how much he usually comes in at (148). He says he was 155-160 and that he was like 142 for Twink. I even said during the Twink vs Ryan RBR that he looked sickly This content is protected But contrary to what many Haney fans will try and have you believe Haney was still significantly heavier, between 5-10lbs and I knew there was no way Ryan would even weigh the same as him, let alone more, significantly more or a lot more. And I don't even think it's natural weight as he looked a bit soft to me, whereas, Haney was ripped lean and very muscular around the back and shoulders. And Ryan admitted he does like to drink and had been drinking during camp and everyday on fight week
