    Garcia is like a male version of Selene Gomez.

    I have no idea how or why he has such a huge amount of followers, other than kids on social media.

    I was unable to watch the card. Hence, I did not pay for it .... thank God. You guys make this whole card sound like it was a horrible watch and a truly dull night. After reading what you've written and without seeing the fights I have two comments.

    1. This is the second time that Ryan Garcia has been put on his butt and turned into a timid shell of his macho self. That sounds like a mentally weak man to me.
    2. I truly appreciate the interest and the money Turki Al-Sheikh is putting into the sport. It has produced some great fights and a lot of big name matchups. That being said, a result like this card may convince him that it takes more than famous names facing each other to make good fights. I'm not even sure if he has a good matchmaker in his employ but he definitely needs to get one.

    Nah.

    Haney mocking someones performance after what he pulled in there, against the level of opponent he pulled it against, is ridiculous to me and is clear signs of delusion.

    Saying 'well Haneys supposed to be boring" isnt valid at all in this context.

    But if you feel Haney fighting that terrified against someone so absolutely outclassed gives him a leg to mock Ryan 30 minutes later then to each their own I guess.

    Imo if Haney had any actual self awareness and an ounce of shame hed have realized his performance was almost as embarrassing as Ryans and kept his mouth shut.

    Eh...

    Haney was going be using his legs and doing his best to avoid engaging. It was up to JCR to make him engage and he wasn't able to do so. The fight sucked, but at the very least Haney managed to work through some early jitters and settle down enough to do his thing and coast to a wide decision like he usually does.

    But, what gives Haney the right to mock Garcia's performance is the fact that when they fought, Haney at least tried to fight back after getting hurt and dropped multiple times and getting his jaw broken. Won his fair share of rounds and never stopped trying to find ways to turn things around. In contrast, Garcia shut down entirely the moment Romero began to up the intensity in the closing rounds.

    If Haney were in the position that Garcia was, I have a feeling he would have tried a little harder to win the damned fight. Garica made no attempt to do so, and that's what makes it worse, imo.

    Agree to disagree, I guess.

    Ah thats a good point there, I do see that angle. Ryan didnt respond to his adversity at all.... Haney at least has. fair point on that.

    Thank the heavens that I did not stay up for this. I was genuinely looking forward to the card, but from the first fight one it was just a bore.

    Tsutsumi had his opponent hurt several times and failed to stop him. The theme of this card was lack of urgency, and IMO it even applies to Tsutsumi.

    Teo vs Barboza was a meh boxing match, but still an interesting one for me. I picked Barboza to spring the upset as Teo for the most part has not looked great at 140, but on this night he performed really well. Teo was the only one on this card taking any risks, and he took a lot of risks.

    I couldn´t believe that Haney would literally run for 12 rounds. I am still baffled by it. And I must admit, I skipped through most of the fight after the 3rd round. I caught only the first 3, and the last 2 in full. Every time I skipped forward, Haney was running or holding :lol:.

    Garcia vs Rolly turned dreadful after the 3rd round. I thought it was closer than the cards suggest, but the right man won. Others here have pointed out that Garcia fought scared after getting dropped, and I would agree.

    What a bizzare night, and a horrendous one at that. I think Turki will soon start re-evaluating if there is any point in making these type of fights and cards. Hopefully he learned the lesson of "marinating fights is a bad idea".

    Why not? Imagine a PED cheat who beat you gets beaten. You would be mocking him too. And Haney was always boring, so he did what he does. At least he got the W.
