In a thrilling boxing match, Ryan Garcia came out on top against Devin Haney in a battle that had fans on the edge of their seats. The fight, held at the famous MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, was full of action and excitement, showcasing the talent and determination of both fighters.

Before the fight, Garcia had a record of 23-1 (20 by KO). His only loss came from Gervonta “Tank” Davis, where he was knocked out during the seventh round in April 2023. His opponent, Haney, had a record of 31-0 (15 by KO). Garcia showed up 3.2 pounds over the light-welterweight limit of 140, which would later cause Garcia not to win the championship belt.

Right from the start, Garcia and Haney traded punches, each trying to gain the upper hand. Garcia, known for his fast punches and powerful hits, made his presence felt early on, landing some solid combinations.

But Haney wasn’t about to back down. He showed off his defensive skills and fired back with his own shots, keeping the fight close and competitive.

As the rounds went on, the intensity only grew. Both fighters gave it their all, leaving everything they had in the ring. With every punch thrown, the crowd cheered louder, urging their favorite fighter on.

In the end, it was Garcia who emerged as the winner. He fought hard and landed enough punches to sway the judges in his favor, securing the victory and earning the respect of his opponent, but not winning the title due to his weight.

After the fight, Garcia and Haney showed sportsmanship, congratulating each other on a tough battle. With this win under his belt, Garcia looks ahead to future challenges, ready to continue making a name for himself in the world of boxing.

“Got up off the canvas and kept fighting. I am 100% ok and would love to do it again while we both make weight,” said Haney via X.

Garcia will most likely fight Errol Spence Jr. next, who has a record of 28-1 (22 by KO). They both have similar records and they are in the same weight class so it would be a fair fight.
