    Haney couldn't take those left hooks.. Those 3lbs added more pop to Garcia's already strong left hook.. Garcia knew what he was doing coming in overweight... Haters come now with the crybaby excuses responses.. Im ready.. Lol

    Yeah, it helped him compete with Haney's 30 extra.

    Zero difference. He will beat POS Haney all day long. The only difference in the fight was the corrupt blatantly paid off ref.

    Haney is the size of Marvin ****ing Hagler and he still lost to tiny old Loma a few fights ago. Someone gaming the system on him and him getting destroyed is karma

    so the belt still stays with haney. i thought it would be vacant since ryan missed weight, but apparently, the belts still stay with haney.

    No, those 3lb didn’t do anything for the outcome of the fight.

    Not much really. Haneys chin has always been questioned and it showed tonight. His chin isn't solid.

    The three pounds were meaningless as Haney, as noted above, typically rehydrates 20 plus pounds on fight night. Which means he probably weighed more than Garcia.

    Haney is far too big for the 140 division, you really think there was a three pound difference between them in the ring? Garcia always had far more power than Haney who only has a 50% KO rate.

    As ridiculous as it is what Haney did, look at Prograis as well coming in as a MW for a LWW fight ffs

    Ryan Garcia before the Twink fight

    “because I don’t like to gain that much weight anyways after the weigh-ins. I pretty much walk around in the ring at 148, so 146 won’t be too much different.”

    It don’t work like that lol

    One guy had to strip off 3 more pounds and boil down vs a guy who didn’t put his body through that stress
