Ryan Garcia dominated Devin Haney, sending him to the canvas three times and marking Haney’s first professional defeat. Garcia’s left-hand power proved decisive, altering Haney’s strategy and forcing him into a defensive clinch. Despite his victory, Garcia exceeded the weight limit, prompting scrutiny and controversy. Garcia later revealed that boxing legend Floyd Mayweather advised him to come in overweight as part of a strategy. Garcia agreed to pay Haney $500k for each pound he weighed in overweight, resulting in a $1.5 million payment. However, Garcia’s weight manipulation raised questions about the integrity of the fight and sparked a heated exchange between Bill Haney, Devin Haney’s father, and Mayweather, highlighting the ongoing drama in the boxing world.
