Ryan Garcia Defeats Devin Haney in Spectacular Performance: Pound-for-Pound Rankings Update

In a stunning turn of events, Ryan Garcia emerged victorious over Devin Haney in a thrilling boxing match on Saturday night. The 25-year-old Californian delivered a masterful performance, knocking down his old amateur rival three times en route to a 12-round majority decision win. With this victory, Garcia’s star has never shined brighter, and many are now hailing him as the new face of boxing.

Despite the controversy surrounding the build-up to the fight, Garcia’s impressive display in the ring has solidified his status as a rising star in the sport. His defeat of Haney, who was previously undefeated, has cemented his place among the elite players in the boxing world. However, there is a cloud hanging over Garcia’s victory.

Garcia’s failure to make weight, coming in over the 140-pound limit at Friday’s weigh-in, has raised questions about his commitment to the sport. While his victory over Haney is undoubtedly impressive, his inability to meet the weight requirement has cost him a spot on the pound-for-pound list. Haney, who did make weight, has dropped off the rankings as a result.

In light of Haney’s removal from the list, the rankings have seen a reshuffle, with unbeaten Japanese star Junto Nakatani making his debut at No. 12. Meanwhile, Terence Crawford retains his position as the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world. The three-weight world champion and future Hall of Famer has solidified his status as one of the greatest welterweights of all time with his recent victory over Errol Spence.

As the boxing world continues to buzz with excitement over Garcia’s victory and Crawford’s dominance, fans can look forward to more thrilling matchups and unforgettable moments in the ring. The sport of boxing is alive and well, with a new generation of stars ready to take center stage.
