    He lost because his chin could not stand up to Garcia power. Haney has been a weight bully his entire career because I believe his team knows his chin is suspect. I don’t think he will rule the roost at 140. He certainly can’t move up for the same reason. He’s kinda stuck.

    WTF is a bow and arrow jab? Is that just like a lunging jab? If so then yeah, Haney kept lunging in with that sucker and bringing him into range to get clocked by Garcia's counter left hook. But it wasn't the only reason he lost. One of the factors for sure.

    He had the fight in the bag after 6 and blew it.

    Regardless of how anyone scored it he looked dumb. Credit to Ryan but he didn't even have to try to catch him in the end.

    i'm guessing it is that jab style that hopkins used to laugh at jermain taylor for.

    Haney’s chin is just too weak. Every time Garcia landed he was all over the place.

    He was getting hurt with grazing shots. The first two KDs weren't even all that clean.

    He kept lunging moving his shoulder towards Garcia pulling his othe shoulder back, his right hand was at the back of his jaw.

    I did. The first KD was clean, but Garcia didn't turn it over and it was more ghd side of the glove that landed. The second KD was a flurry in which Garcia was basically falling in to Haney as he was throwing.

    ...Floyd's speech seems off here, btw. Stammering, rambling, sporting a new lisp... etc.

    What is going on???

    I guess Haney doesn't see people hook off the jab that much or something. That's how Ryan scored the heavy round 7 KD.

    Should've watched a Vlad fight, he does it about 30 times every fight. Kronk fighters would always throw this combo.
