Garcia clearly unprofessional and cheated on the scales, who cares about how much Haney rehydrated?

    Yep.

    So true.

    Everybody is going around this morning saying, " Ryan beat Devon last night, destroyed him actually. But no worries....the fight was not legitimate."


    So, going back a few years, are you telling us now that lil Floyd's win over Marquez was not legitimate because Floyd cheated on the scales ?

    It can't be classed as a cherry pick for Haney imo.

    Any version of Floyd beats any version of Marquez. That was a complete and utter shut out, weight had absolutely nothing to do with it. Floyd was just better.

    That has absolutely nothing to do with the point being made.

    @MVC declared Garcia's win a illegitimate on account of Garcia "cheating on the scales" and coming in above the agreed weight.

    By that same reasoning used by MVC, Floyd's win over JMM is also not legitimate for the exact same reasons.


    To clarify, I, Cuchulain, see Floyd's win as legitimate, perhaps with an asterisk.

    It is MVC who is implicitly ruling Floyd's win over Marquez as illegitimate.

    Ain't that so @MVC ?

    We're waiting to learn how you're going to rule on this matter, MVC.

    Any version of Garcia beats any version of Haney.

    Pro boxing is not the same as am boxing.

    I mean that fight was far more competitive than Floyd vs Marquez. If Haney can keep his right hand up and nullify the left hook he definitely can beat Ryan. He was winning every round until he got knocked down besides the first round.

    I don’t disagree that the weight mattered tho. It didn’t imo.

    Agreed. We have weights for a reason. Wasn’t Tank vs Garcia at a 136 catchweight, with a 10lbs rehydration clause?

    That being said, Haney is an overrated, racist, historic weight bully, so it was nice to see him lose that 0 against Garcia.

    Haney could not overcome Garcia's physical superiority and was sent to the floor a couple of times, a deserved victory for Garcia...
