Ryan Garcia secured a shock victory over Devin Haney last weekend. The two entered the boxing ring in their seventh fight against each other, the first pro fight.
Their amateur series ended with three wins for each fighter. Going into their first pro-fight, Haney emerged as a considerable favorite. However, when the two fought, it was a completely different story.
It was rather surprising as Ryan Garcia appeared to have a complete mental breakdown in the build-up to the fight, and many suggested that he was not taking the fight seriously because of his antics.
However, it was just a marketing ploy. Speaking about it during an appearance on the PBD Podcast, he said:
“We had it pre-recorded with my cameraman months ago, I said, ‘I’m about to make sure everybody thinks I’m going to go crazy.’ I have it all documented. I was planning it months ago. I don’t know what made me come up with the idea, I just decided to go all in and commit to the plan that I had.”
