Tim Bradley destroyed Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia and Teofimo Lopez for the collective tender performances last Friday evening at the Fatal Fury Event at the Times Square in Fresh York. Bradley thinks that they just looked like a broken fighters after Turks Alalshikh paid them a huge money for the Dazn PPV party and did not show any passion, driving or hunger. “
Tim equals a lot of his criticism in Haney (32-0, 15 Kos), whom he feels that he fought, as if he suffers from “PTSD”, deciding to run around the ring all the fight with Jose Ramirez in battle. He said Haney looked like a former USAIN Bolt sprinter with a run he made. Bradley believed that Devin should have been on earth and a pressure fighter fought from him instead of moving.
“No real warrior”
“Ryan Garcia is not a real warrior at all. All year free? You had one that rehabilitates [Ryan]and the other that does not rehabilitate [Devin Haney]He also set up a *** program – said commentator Tim Bradley Fight Hub tvSpeaking of the terrible performances of Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney in his fights last Friday evening during the Fatal Fury Event at Times Square in Fresh York.
I completely agree with you, Tim. You tell him. Ryan showed that he is not a “real warrior” last Friday in the evening, folding a tent and withdrawing when he tried Rolly in the second round. It was one long, bitter retreat for Kingra for the rest of the evening after he was drained in the second round from the left hook by Romero.
“Haney was to return to the drawing board and improve. Do you think he was better? Absolutely not. Just because you will add Hall of Famer to your team [new coach Shane Mosley]Not better. I haven’t seen any improvement in Ryan. I haven’t seen any improvement in Haney.
“Ryan Garcia does not want to be a warrior. All Ryan Garcia wants is money. That’s all, and Ryan didn’t even want to fight Devin. It showed me. Not even entering gas and trying to throw one combination all night. Are you kidding me, man? Devin didn’t want to fight. He didn’t want to visit it again. “
Haney definitely worsened. You could see that the loss with Ryan in April last year influenced him mentally, deceiving his confidence, leaving him in a state similar to a veterinarian with a shell, which is jumped on every sound and is not able to get to the front line. Haney did not look like he belonged to the ring. He seemed to be afraid of hitting; That is why he ran around the ring throughout the 12-round fight, doing little more than a stab and hold.
The warning signs were already before the fight of ROLLY that it was only about money for Garcia’s career, because he fought in the fight with Gervont Davis in 2023, not fighting the fighting, which authorizes to prepare them for an elite warrior. He used his huge social media to fight Tank, which he did not deserve, and was not ready.
“PTSD is true”
“Devin, I felt he didn’t want to fight Ryan Garcia, with the way he fought, how he was afraid,” Bradley continued. “PTSD is a real thing in boxing. This is a real thing and that’s what I saw with Devin, watching him running around the ring. I thought: “Did this guy train with [former sprinter] USAIN BOLT? Who did he train with hell? He runs around the ring as if he were crazy. “
Haney lost his faith in his chin. It seems that he does not believe that he can do a demanding blow without falling again, like many times in the fight of Kingry. At the beginning of the fight last Friday, Devin froze for a second after Ramirez hit him with a pristine left hook on the head. It was as if he lost his senses for a moment. This is not a good sign. He was lucky that the elderly, gray veteran Ramirez was so washed in his game, because it would end bad if he had something.
“I am like:” Stop down and grow balls, elderly, “said Bradley about Haney. “Stand there and carry it and make sure you have returned to this guy [Jose Ramirez] Off you. I was so bad after watching it [Fatal Fury: City of Wolves event]. I wasted time for it. The whole program was rubbish. All fighters have no passion. They have no desire at all, brother. “
Haney could not “settle” his feet down because he was too worried about cutting. Even before he fought Ryan, he was a runner and clinker with Fossed Mayweather Combat style. This approach is poison for fans in this contemporary era, which is why Haney and Teofimo Lopez’s performances were so terrible last Friday. They do not match this era. You put them down at the beginning of 2000, when the antique dinosaur Floyd wandered around the world of boxing, they would be fine and would be perfect. They did not fit in this up-to-date era.
Ryan just looked like a chicken against roll, but he was never good. Garcia is only a one -dimensional warrior whose promoters carefully adapted. He is even less a warrior than Haney, and this says a lot, because Devin is a tender copy of Mayweather. He has the same movements, but he is slower and even more monotonous than Stary G.
Corrupted truth
“Nowadays, everyone is spoiled. All fighters are broken and all this for your man [Turki Alalshikh?] This love – said Bradley, talking about fighters, Haney, Teofimo and Ryan, spoiled with millions that Turks pay them. “By spoiling these guys. These guys earn too much money and I understand. To get it? To get this kind of performances? Come, elderly. Without passion, without driving, without hunger. Plain garbage. It was terrible to watch. I was so bad, elderly. And you can still see that I’m still enraged.”
Bradley gets good. Turki pays Haney, Ryan Garcia, and Teofimo Lopez caused them not to fight the intensity they did when they were still hungry, trying to make more themselves. When the boxers become sullied, most of the time, the negative disadvantage is that they lose their ambitions. They rarely fight, for example, like Terence Crawford and Charlos, or when they compete, put very little effort, looking inactive and uninformed. Why would they? They are already luxurious, they enjoy their residences, Ferraris and trophies’ wives, so they do not want to suffer pain associated with being in the war. They would prefer to make it good back in the base, a lot of sleep, not risking your skin.
Only entertainment?
“It was not a boxing event. It was, quoting Unsquote,” Entertainment “. It was the only thing that was attached to this. “It was not a real boxing event. Who, the fuck, appears in the car? Who does it? Because it was elastic. It was in a state of elastic in a state of Fresh York.” Look what we can do “. It wasn’t about fighters.
The fatal event of fury had the impression of WWE, but without theatrical entertainment of one of these events. At least it’s nice to watch with them. They give their best, even though it is false. The Great Trójka, Haney, Ryan and Teo, just went through the movements. They looked as if they were there only for payments. If I were Turks, I would be furious at the product that I received after paying these three Gazillions.
“I never want to see something like this. If you fighters are not passionate about being the best, don’t get up on the ring. Save my time,” said Bradley.
Shakur Stevenson gave a balanced assessment of why the fight between Canelo Alvarez and David Benavidez has not yet taken place.
Both multi-weight world champions seemed to be on a collision course at 168 pounds, with Canelo reigning as the undisputed king.
Meanwhile, Benavidez held the “interim” WBC title after becoming a two-time super middleweight world champion and awaited his mandatory shot at the full WBC title.
This opportunity, however, never materialized as Canelo continued to defend his undisputed crown against alternative opposition.
During that time, the Mexican had one-sided points victories over the likes of John Ryder and Jermell Charlo, but was widely criticized for failing to face his most formidable rival, Benavidez.
Benavidez has since won the WBC 175-pound title and now looks set to become a three-weight world champion against Gilberto Ramirez, whom he will face on May 2 for the WBO and WBA cruiserweight titles.
This may seem like a bold move, but the 29-year-old’s physique will enable him to develop into an effective 200-pound operator, while Canelo is clearly best suited at 168 pounds.
The natural size difference therefore made their clash even less likely, as Stevenson points out Joe Rogan that in his opinion this is the most significant factor.
“Benavidez is too large for Canelo. I see both sides. I love Benavidez and I’m a fan of his, so I see the ‘fight me, brother’ side.”
“But then I see Canelo’s attitude. He’s like, ‘Man, this guy regularly weighs 200 pounds. I don’t get anywhere near that weight, so I ask myself, ‘Why would I fight this guy?'”
Potential options include Christian Mbilli and Jose Armando Resendiz, the respective WBC and WBA champions, while the IBF and WBO super middleweight world titles remain vacant following Crawford’s retirement.
“If you ask me to immaculate your shoes, I will immaculate them,” Hearn told The Stomping Ground. “But basically the reference was that I said I wasn’t too proud to know my position and the opportunities open to me.”
Over the past two years, Saudi Arabia has financed a series of major boxing events, combining several championship fights that had been stalled in customary negotiations. Matchroom-promoted fighters have appeared on a number of Riyad’s season cards during this period, including major title fights and heavyweight events featuring some of the sport’s most recognizable names.
Hearn said his approach has always been elementary. When an opportunity arises that will benefit the players and the company, the priority is to take advantage of it rather than worrying about what the moment will look like in public.
“My senior man says if you walk past a fivepence coin on the floor you’ll pick it up,” Hearn said. “If a great opportunity comes along, we make money and I enjoy it, no problem.”
Hearn added that he expects to continue working with Turki on future boxing events, despite the occasional public exchange. Several promoters now partner with Saudi-backed events, and financing has become a regular feature of the sport’s biggest fight negotiations.
“I think he enjoys working with us,” Hearn said. “He will always do what suits him and we will continue to do what suits us and our players.”

Former heavyweight champion Oliver McCall still appears in the US heavyweight rankings at the age of 60, an unusual entry that immediately raises questions about how those rankings are calculated.
BoxRec currently ranks McCall 51st among American heavyweights and in the top 250 in the world, which puts the “Atomic Bull” ahead of several energetic fighters.
Below McCall are DeAndre Savage (No. 54), Josh Popper (No. 59), Curtis Harper (No. 61), Ed Latimore (No. 70) and Tyrrell Herndon (No. 83).
What stands out about these spots is that many of these players have been much more energetic in recent years, while McCall’s appearances have been constrained. Several of them also faced noticeably stronger opposition.
Oliver McCall’s ranking anomaly
McCall, whose professional career began in 1985, has a record of 61-14-1 with 40 knockouts and remains one of the most recognizable heavyweight champions of the 1990s.
The Chicago native defeated Lennox Lewis to win the WBC title before building one of boxing’s longest-lasting careers.
Despite turning 60, McCall still wrestles occasionally under the Country Box banner. His last appearances were in Nashville, Tennessee, where he recorded wins over Gary Cobia and Stacy Frazier and a draw with Carlos Reyes.
McCall fought just three times in six years and drew once. The level of his opponents doesn’t even register on any significant scale compared to some of the fighters listed around him, especially Tyrrell Herndon, who could reasonably be rated higher simply for surviving a seven-round loss to Deontay Wilder.
The anomaly raises a broader question. Is this just a quirk of the ranking system or something that requires further explanation?
It is known that BoxRec uses a points-based formula, but it is unclear whether the calculations are currently fully automated and whether human supervision still plays a role in determining the order.
Country box
Mike Tyson Rating
For context, Mike Tyson’s return to Jake Paul – when Tyson was two years younger than the current McCall – placed the former undisputed champion at No. 74 in the United States and No. 338 in the world.
That ranking was about a hundred places below McCall’s current global standing, even though Tyson’s return attracted much more attention and faced a much more vital opponent.
McCall turned professional at the age of 19, meaning the former heavyweight champion is still appearing in the rankings more than forty years after his debut.
On this basis, the existence of a plain nostalgia factor can probably be ruled out.
Instead, the situation indicates that algorithm-based rankings can sometimes produce results that do not reflect activity or opposition.
Whether the breakdown reflects a system working exactly as designed or an anomaly worthy of closer examination is a fair question.
