I'm here, bro. (LOL)

Just waking up to this. Well I'll be damned...
There's no shutting up this kid now.

Obviously I didn't see the fight, so I can't comment on that. But the shock waves and effects on boxing as we know it will be anybody's guess. A borderline emotionally ill, entitled, prima donna, undisciplined (hence the 3.2 pounds overweight), totally unlikable kid... beats the guy who some, I dare say, had as close to p4p as maybe top 3 or something (not me).

IMO, it's a sad day for boxing. In fact, I may stay off Facebook for at least a couple of months.

The question is:

Is this vindication for the Princess?
Or an indictment on Haney?

i have to give ryan credit. almost no one gave him a chance. he blew the weight but devin agreed to the fight continuing so no excuses. i think it also highlighted the chink in devin's armour that we were all aware off. after seeing devin against regis he looked a lot sturdier so i wasn't expecting to see him go down like that. the decision could have gone either way so a rematch is warranted. golden boy should do king ry v conor benn next. reposting this ring cover

I spent no time at all reading or watching anything about this fight. I was vaguely aware of the ongoing soap opera but wasn't interested enough to take any notice. Wasn't even planning to watch it but circumstances conspired and I did and it was a hell of a fight. Haney is no pushover but Garcia wrecked him. Whatever you say about Garcia he has talent and regardless of what he does outside the ring he was box office last night.

As far as the actual fight went Haney looked tiny next to him was the biggest thing I noticed. He'll fight Davis somewhere along the line now I'm sure and I'd put money on Davis knocking him out.

As far as the Garcia soap opera goes the kid has spent his entire life in boxing. He's made it to the top and knows it's a short career and wants to maximise his earnings. He's seen the kind of revenue the youtubers and other freak show people can generate from their social media followings and he's doing the same thing. Marrying actual elite level talent with all the social media circus stuff promises to make him enormous amounts of dollars and good luck to him.

Like I said I wasn't paying any attention to the fight. I assumed the kid was self destructing and I'm sure there's a grain of truth in that, I don't think his ongoing meltdown is entirely a con, and I thought Oscar was cashing in on him before he blew up completely. And that actually may be the case. I was looking at Fishnets's shit eating grin in the ring after the fight and wondering is this a guy who put all his chips on a last chance Hail Mary with a guy about to self destruct and it came off or somebody who knew his guy was fooling everybody. We'll find out eventually I'm sure.

I am humble enough to admit that I got this fight prediction totally wrong, I honestly thought Haney would be too much skill for Garcia. Added the antics and craziness by Ryan in the pre fight build up. I admit total prediction defeat.
