In a thrilling showdown at the Barclays Center, Ryan Garcia pulled off a stunning upset over Devin Haney, knocking him down three times on his way to a majority decision victory. However, Garcia’s victory came with a caveat as he had missed the light-welterweight limit by 3.2lbs, making him ineligible to win the WBC title.

Despite the controversy surrounding his weight, Garcia put on a masterful performance in the ring, flooring Haney in the seventh, 10th, and 11th rounds. The judges scored the fight 115-109 and 114-110 in favor of Garcia, with one judge seeing it as a draw at 112-112.

This victory marks Garcia’s 25th win in 26 bouts, showcasing his resilience and skill in the ring. On the other hand, Haney, the former undisputed world lightweight champion, suffered his first defeat in 32 fights.

In his post-fight interview, Garcia addressed the skepticism surrounding his behavior leading up to the fight, stating, “You guys overegg everything.” Haney expressed disappointment in his performance but called for a rematch, emphasizing that Garcia did not make weight and therefore, he is still the champion.

The intense showdown between Garcia and Haney has left fans eagerly anticipating a potential rematch. In the meantime, boxing enthusiasts can look forward to the upcoming Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk fight, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Box Office on May 18.
