Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia

J. HumzaRyan Garcia scored a stunning victory at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, defeating Devin Haney three times en route to an impressive majority decision win during the meet.
The build-up to the fight was bizarre to say the least, as Garcia exhibited several odd behaviors that led to him losing three pounds in weight, meaning he would be unable to capture Haney’s WBC super lightweight title that night. Haney reigned as the undisputed lightweight champion and in his last outing he moved up in weight, scoring a crushing points win over Regis Prograis last December.
Garcia (25-1, KO20) started well, troubling Haney (31-1, KO15) in the first round, but Haney responded well, landing a immaculate left hook in the third round, which Garcia took well. The highlight of Garcia’s fourth round was a powerful right hand, and after a serene fifth and sixth frames, which Haney overshadowed, the fight turned upside down in round seven. Garcia landed a left hand that hit Haney strenuous and he tried to take down the count. Garcia was now on top and troubled Haney with his power, making another breakthrough in round ten, and a two-fisted attack forced Haney to seek refuge on the canvas again. Haney again survived but seemed lucky not to lose a holding point as Garcia continually turned his back to the action and with the fight in the balance, Haney hit the deck for the third time in the penultimate session, prompting a counter left hook, knocking him down.

The fight was ultimately successful and one card resulted in a draw of 112-112, but the scores of 115-109 and 114-110 ensured “King Ry” notable victory.
On the undercard, Arnold Barboza Jr (30-0, KO11) failed to impress, but won a split decision over Sean McComb (18-2, KO5) over ten rounds at super lightweight to defend his WBO Intercontinental title. McComb was deemed the winner 98-92 by one judge, but was ruled out by a score of 97-93 and 96-94 for Barboza.
I want to address the fans. It wasn’t my best performance, but we won 30-0. I’m going back to the drawing board to continue working on the craft. I hope you liked it. Thank you all for your continued support.

Bektimir Melikuziev (14-1, KO10) scored a technical victory on the card after his fight with Pierre Hubert Dibombe (22-1-1, KO12) had to be stopped. A doctor examined Melikuziev’s eye and stopped the fight in the eighth round due to cuts from an accidental head collision, which won him the WBA Intercontinental super welterweight title by two scores, 79-73, and a third, 78-74.
Yes, that’s a bad cut@BMelikuzievin round 5. The fight can continue. Ben tries to close the show, but the round ends. #MelikuzievDibombe @NYFights #HaneyGarcia pic.twitter.com/5YVoY6ix4X

Tyson Fury rips apart ‘very constrained’ Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois
Published
3 weeks agoon
November 25, 2024Tyson Fury described both Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois as “very constrained” compared to him ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury, who saw Dubois defeat Joshua in five rounds at Wembley Stadium in September, is preparing for a second fight with Usyk on December 21 in Riyad, seven months after his first professional defeat against split decision for the undisputed title of heavyweight champion.
The ‘Gypsy King’ insists he will box in a similar fashion when he faces the Ukrainian for the unified heavyweight titles, as well as facing his rival in midfield, something he believes both Joshua and Dubois were unable to do , when they stood against him.
– What can you expect from me? Fury said during his face-to-face meeting with Usyk TNT Sports.
“Basically the same thing I did before.
“Good boxing.
“It’s not normal for someone my height and weight to be able to box and move and slide, so why should I take that away from my game.
“People tell me: go up to Usyk, take him down and punch him, but if it was so effortless why didn’t Joshua do it, who is a massive, sturdy man?
“Why didn’t Dubois do it?
“These men are constrained compared to me, very constrained.”
The 37-year-old Usyk defeated “AJ” twice on points and stopped Dubois, and Fury became the fifth Briton to fall victim to him.
The Manchester athlete believes it cost him an impressive performance in his first outing and has vowed to remain focused when facing Usyk on Saturday in three weeks’ time.
“I belong to a boxer,” the 36-year-old added.
“Slip, slide, clip, hook.
“I’m going to do it, but with more focus.
“A little more focused on my job and I think that’s my path to victory.”

David Benavidez only had four words about Jake Paul and Mike Tyson

November 20, 2024David Benavidez gave some harsh advice to Mike Tyson following his loss to Jake Paul last weekend.
Benavidez was one of millions of people around the world who witnessed Paul comfortably defeat an extremely faded Tyson to score wide unanimous decision victory.
At 58 years antique, “Iron Mike” looked like a shell of the man who ruled the heavyweight division in his prime, and some observers even believe he was carried by the YouTuber and could have been stopped at any time.
Despite the fact that the two only competed for two minutes, the fight was fully sanctioned and will go down in their records.
It was Tyson’s first professional fight since his loss to Kevin McBride in 2005, Benavidez said. Fighting Hub TV this should be his last.
“He needs to retire.”
Offering further analysis, “The Mexican Monster” explained that he was simply relieved to see the former heavyweight king leave the ring unscathed.
“It was a good fight and a good turnout, but I don’t want to see Mike Tyson fight again. Let’s hope he says it.
“𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😕

“It was a good performance, Mike Tyson won there and earned well, and he deserves it. I’m just content he didn’t get injured there.
“Mike Tyson is Mike Tyson, but 60-year-old Mike Tyson is different.”
In a post-fight interview, Tyson seemed interested in fighting Jake’s brother, Logan, but has since insisted on social media that he will not return to the ring.
The series has reportedly attracted approximately 108 million viewers on Netflix, making it by far the most-watched boxing event in recent memory.
Tyson grossed an estimated $20 million, while “The Problem Child” is believed to have grossed about twice that amount.
Benavidez spoke at the press conference kicking off his Feb. 1 fight with David Morrell, which is widely considered to be one of the toughest of his career.

Jake Paul calls out Conor McGregor after his victory over Mike Tyson
Published
4 weeks agoon
November 18, 2024After defeating Mike Tyson last weekend, Jake Paul once again expressed his desire to face UFC star Conor McGregor – only this time in an unusual style.
Paul threw plenty of taunts at McGregor in hopes of luring him into the ring, although the Irishman was largely reluctant to engage in any discussion.
“The Problem Child” faced widespread criticism after the fight against Tyson, who at 58 looked like a shell of his former self.
Even though the main event wasn’t much of a competition, it was a show it reportedly attracted 60 million viewers north on the streaming giant Netflix’s platform, making it by far the most watched boxing event in recent times.
Paul seems to have a penchant for large names now and took to Twitter to try and get McGregor to fight MMA.
“Dear Conor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170 pounds. This never happens.
“But let’s do it in MMA. No weight category. Just like it used to be done. But you won’t.

‘The Notorious’ quickly responded by writing the following (now deleted) tweet, accompanied by a photo of 82-year-old US politician Mitch McConnell.
“Nakisa has already judged me, boy, this guy will be next after you. Good luck, buddy.
Paul McGregor fighting in the ring would not only be a test of skill, but also of ego. While McGregor has plenty of experience, Paul’s speed, size and unconventional approach to boxing could create an unpredictable outcome.
However, the Dubliner would be a huge favorite if they managed to get a fight inside the Octagon, even though Paul was younger and bigger.
Regardless of who wins, the fight will be a monumental payday for both fighters, and the fight will almost certainly be one of the most entertaining ever.
