Social Media was speechless after the reigning WBC super-lightweight champ Devin Haney lost to Ryan Garcia after weeks of trolling.
In the weeks leading up to the highly anticipated WBC super-lightweight bout between champion Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia things were a bit weird. Ryan was engaging in bizarre behavior all over social media that left many people questioning his mental stability. However, last night all the distractions were gone and these two met in the ring and it went a different direction than many expected.
According to ESPN, in their seventh meeting and first professional matchup, Garcia delivered three knockdowns to defeat the No. 6 pound-for-pound boxer. The majority decision marks Garciaâs best win in his career by a mile.
âI donât give a fâ what people say about me. I walked through the fire and still held it down and still beat fâing Devin Haney and still drink every day,â said Garcia, 25. âNot necessarily am I proud of that, but Iâm just saying it was a statement to show you, you guys canât really fâ with me.â â Garcia said in his post fight interview.

Ryan missed weight by three pounds which made him ineligible for Haneyâs title but the win alone will change his status. He has already pondered a rematch with Haney while also eyeing a rematch with the only loss on his record Gervonta Davis. Hopefully, Haney and Garcia run it back sooner than later as they delivered the fight of the year without question.
