The Tank KO didn't do him any favors either. Absolutely shattered his confidence.

I've been following Garcia a bit, since he's from my hometown (Victorville). He's got athleticism, a good left hook, but his fundamentals are still terrible. Footwork, leaves his chin up when throwing.

I think Haney takes it by decision.

Yeah, the 7th was strange.

Garcia is doing better than I thought. He reminds me of Tyron Woodley in MMA, where he also has the neat one trick of a left (well, two with Tyron where he also has wrestling that he will do nothing with on the ground), but its a neat trick when it works

A true renaissance man


the only thing that this ref is penalizing is hitting in the clinch it's amazing. Either guy is just flagrantly ignoring instructions, even, or just committing every foul in the book, and he's like "at's fine np."

He was absolutely horrible. I usually have no complains about him but drat. Rd 7 should have had two knock downs, and he had no control over the clinch.

giving up an extra 600k and any chance at the belt just to keep the fight going seems like a worse deal than slicing a few pounds off in a day

Depends how far you are in the cutting journey, that.

3lbs at the start of it, yeah.
3lbs after you're fully dehydrated, have already dropped 15 or so and have been at it for hours? absolutely not.

hindsight and all of that but given he ended up winning, he'll get another crack at the belt and another paycheck anyway.

He’s only lost to tank, and he just dominated a lbs for lbs guy who was undisputed - giving him his first loss. I don’t know what more he’s supposed to be doing?

^ he should fix this stuff, op. he's tough but he takes too many punches; haney underestimated garcia because he's a Literal Crazy Person

i don't want to take too much from garcia because he completely and thoroughly dominated haney but he has serious holes defensively and he has to eat punches just to get in with his (admittedly fantastic) left hook. a more powerful boxer (or even a more prepared one) is going to be able to take advantage of that

he would have been punished heavily for that very bad philly shell against someone that wasn't shook by the first punch of the fight.

when asked what he was doing with it he said i have adhd and get bored.

ryan garcia with a canelo mindset is a 4 division champ.

I remember thinking Ryan was winning the tank fight until he lost it. I have no clue what the Philly shell thing he was doing was *supposed* to do, but I think it really confused Haney. I think it confused the ref too, because the ref told Haney to stop hitting Ryan in the back the first few times Ryan did it.

Haney might have underestimated Ryan, but I don’t think he came in unprepared. He’s too disciplined for that. I also think Haney took control after that first round, winning most of them until the 7th. I could definitely see this fight being a draw with Ryan’s point deduction - mostly because Ryan was either conserving energy or he just felt like loving around some rounds, and other rounds Haney really was in control.

I do think it’s funny how the announcers after the fight basically were like “well now you’ve won the fight you’ve proven you’re not insane. . .”

I was interested in tank v Haney, but now it’s much less likely that that fight ever happens. Ryan v boots could be really interesting. I’m not as high on boots as others, but have got to favor him over King Ry.

actually, yeah, I am a little mad

quote:

Heavyweight Ardi Ndembo, of Congo, has reportedly died after being put into an induced coma following a knockout in Team Combat League competition April 5 in Miami.

Ndemobo, a 27-year-old from Brazzaville, Congo, was a father of two who had been competing for the Miami Assassins of the TCL. He was knocked out by Nestor Santana of the Las Vegas Hustle and, according to Marca, remained unconscious on the canvas for “several agonizing minutes.”

Jeff Mayweather, coach of the Las Vegas Hustle and uncle to Floyd Mayweather Jr., told SunSport: “Boxing’s a sport where you grow up watching it and loving it, but there’s so much risk involved.

“Anyone can lose their life from boxing. When something like this happens, it wakes up the whole entire world.”

Rumor that this video is of Ndembo getting KOed by Dewey Cooper in training only a week out
