‼️ Ryan Garcia HURTS Devin Haney in the first minute.

— Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) April 21, 2024

Big opening round for Ryan Garcia. If anyone needed to establish himself in a fight early, it was Ryan after this build-up. Garcia lands some big shots in Round 1, including a counter left hoo that rocked Haney and forced him to tie up. 10-9, Garcia. #HaneyGarcia

How the hell Ryan buzz Devin like that first rd!

Haney’s jab i s landing hard now, and he’s not missing with it.

— Kevin Iole (@KevinI) April 21, 2024

Very good adjustments from Haney in R2 after being rocked to open the fight. He’s disciplining Garcia away from throwing left hook by using feints to set up clean rights. #HaneyGarcia

— Brian Campbell (@BCampbell) April 21, 2024

Another strong round for Haney. He’s shaken off the first round and sliding into a groove. 10-9 Haney (29-28 Haney)

— Andreas Hale (@AndreasHale) April 21, 2024

What is Garcia’s plan right now. He doesn’t appear to have one. Getting easily backed up by Haney, not throwing back.

This fight just feels like high-level ghetto. It just feels ratchet 🤣 🤷🏾‍♂️ #HaneyGarcia

Garcia unloading on Haney to open the 6th. A lot of punches get through. Haney applying pressure after weathering the storm. Referee getting involved a lot and warns Haney for hitting Garcia’s side when Garcia is turning away.

‼️ Ryan Garcia knocks Devin Haney DOWN in round seven.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug!

This referee is absolutely terrible. Ryan Garcia drops Haney. He’s hurt as hell, holding into Garcia for dear life, forcing Garcia to punch in the clinch. The ref pauses action to deduct point — no warning. Utter bullshit. Garcia drops Haney again twice — yet ref calls both a…

NOW we got some action! The point deduction was a bit mehh for me. #HaneyGarcia

What crazy nigga fight

— Paulo Costa ( Borrachinha ) (@BorrachinhaMMA) April 21, 2024

Haney with the high crotch

— Jorge Masvidal (@GamebredFighter) April 21, 2024

This is baffling. Garcia is looking for the perfect punch and not throwing. Haney going to the body and that wakes Garcia up. Too little, too late though. 10-9 Haney (85-84 Haney)

— Andreas Hale (@AndreasHale) April 21, 2024

‼️ Ryan Garcia knocks Devin Haney DOWN again in round ten.

— Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) April 21, 2024

No way Haney can win this . Hes been dropped 3 times . IDGAF what a score card says ! #GarciaHaney

‼️ Ryan Garcia knocks Devin Haney DOWN for a THIRD TIME in round 11.

— Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) April 21, 2024

This is the craziest fight I’ve ever seen

— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) April 21, 2024

Holy shit this has turned in to a crazy fight

— Matt Brown (@IamTheImmortal) April 21, 2024

Ryan Garcia! This is actually poetic comedy. Is he legit “off”? Or is it all a show? His Skills are different than typical boxers but it works for him. This is a pretty impressive showing against a fundamentally sound Haney. #HaneyGarcia

— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) April 21, 2024

Garcia had the fight of his life and won’t mean a thing since he decided to clown around and miss weight. #HaneyGarcia

— Matthew Wells (@MrMWells) April 21, 2024

Man what an amazing fight and so unexpected I seriously can’t breathe

Both are warriors and savages and never underestimate anyone #HaneyGarcia

— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) April 21, 2024

Give me Social media Ryan Garcia and Gervonta “TANK” Davis 2 ! If Ryan Garcia isn’t on social media at least 3 times a week saying crazy stuff , cancel the fight ! 😂😂😂 #GarciaHaney

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) April 21, 2024

Fuck yah boxing got it rt king ry what a performance 🫡

— Terrance McKinney (@twrecks155) April 21, 2024

I’m glad Garcia didn’t get a BS draw decision. He clearly was winning those later rounds, plus the KDs. That would’ve been criminal but it’s nice to see the proper decisions get made

— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) April 21, 2024

Ryan Garcia is a Superstar now 😳🔥

— Cub Swanson (@CubSwanson) April 21, 2024

Forget Devin.. WHERE BILL AT WHERE DIRT AT!!!!!!!!!

— Gervonta Davis (@Gervontaa) April 21, 2024

Ryan Garcia starts his presser by telling the media he drank every single day during camp, nobody can fuck with him or tell him what to do #BOXING

— Fight Ghost (@Fight_Ghost) April 21, 2024

Damn Devin has a broken Jaw Allegedly

The name of the game I suppose

What’s next?
