I have NEVER seen a performance like that. Haney was the undefeated p4p next fake Mayweather type. He was a 10-1 favorite. Everyone thought Ryan was insane and that the fight should be called off. When Ryan starts WINNING he still doesn't give a ****. Some highlights: Huggy Haney clinching him for a full minute and the ref breaks it up, Ryan pops him in the mouth on the break and is unbothered by the absurd instant point deduction Haney recovers and starts doing well, Ryan starts talking **** and making fun of Haney Ryan scores a third knockdown in a fight that could be close and starts celebrating on the ropes, totally unconcerned about finishing Haney off even with biased judges As Haney is stumbling in front of Ryan clearly out on his feet, Ryan laughs and tells Bill Haney he should stop the fight After the 11th Ryan starts waving to people in the crowd and having conversations and his coach has to push him onto the stool Ryan is seemingly gassed in the 12th in a fight they might try to rob him in and instead of closing the show he starts doing TikTok dances Ryan wins and gives another unhinged interview, proving that he does indeed have a screw loose This is up there with Broner-Maidana, except this time Ryan is both the clown and the victor. He's a walking meme and doesn't give a ****. Some of his technique is sloppy, we all knew that, but his speed and power are legit. I wasn't that interested in this fight when it looked like another boring huggy UD over a name fighter who was having a breakdown, but now it's an instant classic.
I was impressed with Garcias composure. I thought he would melt down before our eyes and quit once the fire got too big. This was a big upset, too bad he couldn't win a title, there will most likely be a rematch with a bigger penalty if they fight again.
Agreed with most of the take besides him not giving a ****. Dude definitely cares and is an emotional wreck.
Haney was a +800 in the bookies. That's 8 to 1 odds , I hope Garcia bet his purse to win, cuz if he did he's raking in millions on top of his pct for the PPV.
A showman that doesn't know how to finish an opponent off. Tank would have went for the kill once he smells blood.
Maidana beating Broner was big, but was Broner ever as dominant and rated as highly as Haney has been? Instant classic no doubt, Ryan really impressed. Disorder beat Discipline.
