The boxing world is on for a treat this month. After months of build-up, Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney finally face off this weekend in the boxing ring. A lot has been said about the matchup, and the duo is about to throw everything down and strike each other in the middle of the boxing ring. The build-up to the fight is pretty interesting. Both the fighters are talking a ton of trash, and Garcia is behaving weirdly. Boxing Ace Shakur Stevenson gave his take on the fight.
Shakur is a three-division boxing champion; he knows a thing or two about how the boxing matchups work.
Shakur Stevenson on the Garcia-Haney fight
Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia have participated in several press conferences, which have been pretty entertaining. Many folks on social media are worried that Garcia might not be in the best state of mind going into the fight. Shakur Stevenson is another possible contender for both Haney and Garcia. In a recent interview, Shakur said,
His focus is just too drifted and I think that I don’t think he took the fight serious. I heard he was drunk a week ago.
Shakur clarified that he thinks Ryan is not focused on his bout and thinks he is not taking the fight seriously. Since losing to Gervonta Davis Garcia, the boxing ring has not been the same. Garcia missed the weight by three pounds and was seen drinking beer on the weighing scale. Garcia was also seen behaving in a rather bizarre manner during the face-offs on stage. There was an altercation going on in the face-offs a few days back.
It will be interesting to see how Garcia fights during the bout. Haney is currently the absolute favorite in the company and continues to impress the crowd with his sublime boxing combinations in the open workouts. This is Garcia’s second big-name fight, having lost to Gervonta Davis. Haney is known for his ruthless power, whereas Garcia is known for his pace on his punches. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when Haney and Garci step into the ring to take on each other.
