Ryan Garcia Defeats Devin Haney in Dramatic Showdown in Brooklyn

In a thrilling and dramatic night of boxing in Brooklyn, New York, American Ryan Garcia shocked the world by defeating his compatriot Devin Haney in a majority points win. Garcia, known for his lightning-fast left hook, floored the previously unbeaten world champion three times in the seventh, 10th, and 11th rounds, ultimately securing the victory with scorecards of 112-112, 114-110, and 115-109 in his favor.

Despite the impressive win, Garcia was unable to claim Haney’s WBC light-welterweight title as he missed weight for the contest. The 25-year-old fighter, who has faced criticism for his behavior leading up to the fight, addressed his detractors in a post-fight interview, stating, “You really thought I was crazy? You all lost your own minds.”

Garcia, who extended his record to 25 wins and one defeat, revealed that he had been struggling with personal issues, including a recent divorce, and admitted to “drinking every night” in the lead-up to the bout. Despite his unconventional approach, Garcia’s performance in the ring was undeniable as he handed Haney his first professional defeat in 32 fights.

In the undercard, Belfast’s Sean McComb suffered a controversial defeat to Arnold Barboza Jr. in a world-title eliminator, despite showcasing impressive footwork and timing throughout the bout.

With his underdog victory over Haney, Garcia has solidified his status as a rising star in the boxing world, leaving fans eagerly anticipating his next move in the ring.
