Transcripts
all right here we go ladies and
gentlemen Devon Haney taking on Ryan
Garcia it's the time it's finally now
let's see what
happens
oh oh
[ย __ย ] damn Garcia actually comes across
this and actually tries to hit him and
make it in a fight and then Hy each time
Garcia comes across he just grabs him so
I like this I like this style that
Garcia is applying to Haney you know try
to pot and
show oh oh dropped him he dropped him
this is when Ro Garcia does his best
work when he just picks it to the
opponent just take it to him and he's
going to knock him out because Ryan
Garcia is actually fighting Devon's
doing too much boxing oh he's going to
get on him just get back the up ref
that's not a knockdown are you kidding
me we we
oh dropped him again this what I'm
talking about if Ryan just fights he
beats him
easily dude they're they're holding
on let
go beautiful right
hand oh another drop anothering
drop dude the fight is over man he's
dropped the
guy they want Devon to stay in a fight I
have Garcia winning that fight there has
to come a point in time where boxing
comes down to who's actually hurting the
opponent and who's actually trying to
trying to end the fight and as I'm
watching it it was Garcia trying to end
the fight not Haney Haney was trying to
be too much of a tactician and try to
land certain shots and not play it safe
but he couldn't get to Ryan each time he
try to fight Ryan Ryan would put him on
his ass
w
fight welcome back ladies and gentlemen
in my oh my was that a fight or not okay
Le let's get let's get started first off
I had Devin Haney winning this fight
because if you look at all the Ryan
Garcia's Antics up leading up to this
fight everybody was like he's not taking
this fight seriously the guy comes in
three lbs overweight so he to pay Devin
Haney $1.5 million 500,000 $500,000 a
pound he comes in overweight drinks a
beer in a scale is acting all types of
crazy in New York City and he comes out
and he gives Devin his very first loss
of his pro boxing career now I'm not
gonna lie to you
guys I'm shocked how well Garcia did a
gutin
because when you look at Haney's fights
in the past Haney's very good about
slowing the fight down getting behind
his jab and making his opponent's Miss
but if you go back and look at his lenko
fight when lenko would jump on him and
actually do combinations he will win
those exchange and tonight that's what
we saw against Garcia versus Haney each
time Garcia went after Haney he would
always put him on his ass what do I mean
by
that Devon would never commit he would
he will get close he'll wait he'll wait
he wait he'll wait he'll wait and then
Ryan Garcia would turn his back and
he'll keep beating up the flank which is
illegal shot and then
eventually he will get there and throw a
hook and Ryan Garcia would block it
those don't count and boxing if I block
your shot it does not count actually get
points for blocking right now when
Garcia would get after Devin that's when
Devon had the worst time in the ring
because when Garcia would get at him he
would measure his jab he would throw his
his hand out there measure and then once
uh hany would try to do something he
will catch him that check left hook
couple times he'll go jab left hook
every single time and each time Garcia
will go after him with the onew or the
hook he's always putting the he's he's
hurting he's hurting Haney the thing
that was very frustrating about this
fight is that the referee kept Haney in
that fight I felt like I felt each time
Garcia would hurt Haney Han's hanging on
to him and then next you know he does a
double leg Tak down and then the ref's
like stop holding him stop holding him
stop holding him it's like time you stop
holding and you stop holding fight it's
like dude you just gave him like 15 20
seconds of of arrest you stop Ryan's uh
momentum to finish to finishing
him oh God that was probably the most
frustrating thing of watching the fight
is that you know in Garcia each time you
come with the onew or one in left hook
you know Hane will come in there and
lock him up and then he'll grab his head
and suck it down it's like I feel like
boxing has to start penalizing people
for turning their back it's not it it's
like you're I'm turning my back and I'm
stopping your progression as an athlete
or or a boxer once I turn my back you
have to stop it's like if I can stop him
by just turning my back then they need
make a rule where it's going to penalize
the the athlete for turning his back
because that's stopping my combination
if I come and go one two three and you
turn your back I'm like I have to stop
because I can't hit Your Flank and I
can't hit you the back of the head stop
[ย __ย ] turning it's pissing me off I'm
getting pissed off right now talking
about it so well let's get back on track
I Apologize I get emotional and I'm
passionate about Combat Sports okay now
that was that was the difference in this
fight The X Factor was Garcia actually
going out there to fight Devon was so
hesitant and and cautious from that very
first round Ryan Garcia jumped on him
like right on Rice hit him with that
blistering left H that nobody ever sees
and that put him on his butt and I think
that was the difference of the fight
because Haney would never actually get
after him and when he do is when Garcia
would take the round off what do I mean
by taking the round off you see Garcia
prancing around moving around doing X
and Y and Z just moving around you know
show building a little bit and then the
round would end the SEC then the next
round will come out Ryan will get right
on right back to work start doing
combinations and then when when Haney
would start to respond not by backing up
or he would respond by two ways either
ducking his head and coming in or try
and exchange with Garcia that's when he
got in trouble all the time each time he
tried to exchange with
Garcia Garcia he want a beautiful left
hook hang on it was right hand then the
left hook dropped him or he would come
in and Ryan Garcia would hit him with
that right hand all the time I'm shocked
they they didn't stop the fight sooner
because he kept getting Dro that one
round he was like hanging on to Garcia I
was like dude the fight's over like the
fight's over and here's another thing if
Ryan Garcia would have lost this fight I
would have said boxing his [ย __ย ]
reason why is that they have to stop
scoring the fight by all these punches
land and this or whatever they need to
start scoring the fight like who's
actually trying to finish the fight and
who's actually putting the most pressure
and damage on their opponent right if
you look at the Tyson Fury versus uh
Francis Francis Francis lost that fight
but Francis did way more damage than
Tyson Fury did and I felt the same way
in this fight iel like Ryan Garcia
wanted to end this fight I felt like he
wanted to put Haney's lights out where
Haney was staying true to a boxer hiding
behind his jab trying to you know look
good and be very technical get to him
and when Ryan Garcia would shut that
[ย __ย ] down by just over and Ryan Garcia
did make a lot of mistakes you never
want to go like this and hold your hand
out and and look for your opponent
because that's when you got caught with
the the the jump of left hook but he he
didn't get dropped so now what happens
next do I want to see rematch uh you
know what I wouldn't mind seeing a
rematch I hope ran Garcia comes in on
um I think he he missed a huge
opportunity to become a champion at the
division and get Devon Haney's belt but
the day when these guys are making 25
million $30 million who gives a [ย __ย ] who
the champion is they've already been
Champions now it's SP making as much
money as possible and and yeah making as
much money as possible especially when
he's okay to give away 1.5 million for
missing weight um but very very fun
fight to watch a lot of wrestling a lot
of holding in this boxing match even
though it's not a wrestling match but I
want to know what you guys think of this
fight were you guys surprised how Ryan
Garcia came out with all the Antics he
did leaning up to this fight him acting
all crazy him missing weight three
pounds overweight drinking a beer I'm
not going to lie to you guys I thought
Devon Haney was going to whoop his ass
but I was wrong and I'm I'm I'm happy
that uh Ryan Garcia came out Victorious
and I don't get it right all the time
but you know what I do get right you
know I do get right boys we did a little
you know little the mighty cast we we
did a little uh made some good picks
tonight good picks we made picks we
split it up that's one of the things I
love about priz picks is that you can go
with boxing or you can do a little NBA
we have the NBA playoffs going right now
LeBron James did very well today we went
with more LeBron James went more with
him 25 24 and a half points so he had to
score 25 points he did that and then we
went less with Devin Haney with him
Landing 125 and a half strikes so Devon
Haney had to land 126 strikes I didn't
think he is going to be able to land
that because Ryan Garcia is either going
to get knocked out or he's going to
knock you out and he D near almost did
that against Devon Haney so the mighty
cast we walked away with a good little
green tonight shout out to price pick
love playing a daily fantasy sports game
because it's it's fun it gets you a
little more invested in the game I
watched the NBA game earlier and now I'm
