Rightly so for me
This was a catch weight fight

I thought Garcia was genuinely fucked in the head and was gonna get battered in this fight. Maybe he is just a brilliant troll

Must be at least a bit of a nutcase but very entertaining either way

The title should be made vacant, by all means lay Haney fight for the vacant belt but it’s ludicrous he keeps his belt after losing.

To someone not in his weight class it had no business being on the lime

Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov confirmed for August. I can't wait for that one.

Great video on Garcia vs Haney. I was happy Garcia won. Haney does little for me.

Madrimov hasn't had many pro fights but crawford could have had an easier 154 start than that, will definitely put a few quid on the upset.

Garcia is pretty limited but he's always going to be effective against certain fighters. He's got quick hands and good power in the left hook. If you can't hurt him or keep him off, he can run through you. Haney is a nice technician but his chin isn't great and he's no real power, especially at a higher weight against a weight chest who deliberately comes in heavy to load up his power shots.

Very smart from Garcia, if a cunt's trick in truth.

It's about levels, mate. Bud is a much, much better fighter. As long as he handles the extra weight okay, he'll be just fine here.

+1

Similar to Hopkins he lives a healthy life too apparently. So his age should not be an issue.

I think he wins as well but you just never know when you keep going up in weight, i never bet stupid money on boxing anyway, too much curruption.

Canelo back soon. Not much buzz for that one.

Also Fury/Usyk next month too hopefully.

Hopefully munguia makes a fight of it, expect canelo to win a fun action fight, late stoppage or ud.

I don't think so but i seem to be in the minority, i think he wins but it will be competitive.

Nutcase Ryan Garcia fails drug test, can't say I'm too surprised but I did enjoy watching the hugger get dropped 3 times and hurt numerous other times.

Jake Paul v Mike Tyson will apparently count towards their pro records.
As ludicrous as that may be, I’m more interested in watching it now it’s not some pointless exhibition.
I wait for Jake Paul to call out Tyson Fury after the fight.

It's still a novelty fight.

Pointless? Besides the cash all involved will make, yes.
