Ryan Garcia confident Devin Haney will defeat Gervonta Davis in potential match-up
In a recent interview on the PBD Podcast, Ryan Garcia made a bold statement regarding a potential match-up between Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis. Despite suffering a loss to Davis last year and securing a victory over Haney just this past weekend, Garcia is adamant that Haney would come out on top if the two were to face off in the ring.
Garcia pointed out the circumstances surrounding his fights with both Haney and Davis, emphasizing that the weight restrictions and rehydration clauses played a significant role in his performances. He claimed that facing Davis at a catchweight of 136lbs with a rehydration clause weakened him, while coming in overweight for the Haney fight at 140lbs and rehydrating to over 160lbs actually worked in his favor.
The young lightweight star confidently stated, “Gervonta wasn’t a hard fight, I was just weak. That’s not a hard fight for me, I will beat Gervonta worse than I beat Haney. Haney’s a harder fight than Gervonta.”
Garcia also hinted at a potential boxing match against Sean O’Malley in the future, adding another layer of intrigue to the already buzzing lightweight division. Despite the skepticism from some in the boxing world, Garcia remains steadfast in his belief that Haney would emerge victorious against Davis.
As the debate continues to swirl around potential match-ups in the lightweight division, one thing is for certain – Ryan Garcia is not afraid to make bold predictions and back them up with his unwavering confidence.
