Promoter Eddie Hearn says his fighter Devin Haney is taking his loss to Ryan Garcia “very badly” and he’s sad that he examined optimistic and got here in 3.2 lbs chubby.
Hearn desires Haney’s loss to be overturned if the investigation of his two failed PED assessments for Ostarine revealed that it was in his system through the night time of the combat on April twentieth. He says Haney desires a “disqualification” for Ryan for that combat.
A fail is a fail. He nonetheless failed two drug assessments and had performance-enhancing medicine in his system when he fought Devin Haney,” stated promoter Eddie Hearn to Battle Hub TV.
Ryan’s B-sample might be examined on Might twenty second, and if that’s clear, Haney (31-1, 15 KOs) will simply must acknowledge he was crushed by the higher man. He had been complaining about Ryan coming in 3.2 lbs chubby on the weigh-in, however he accepted the $1.5 million for the load guess.
That cash ought to have been sufficient to fulfill Haney as a result of he might have pulled out of the combat if he had a problem with him being a bit heavy on the weigh-in.
Haney Desires Disqualification, Says Hearn
“I feel he desires a disqualification. He’s not good, however he wasn’t good within the first place,” stated Hearn about how properly Haney is coping with his loss. This can be a child who dedicates his life to the game. When he acquired beat, it was a very powerful capsule to swallow.
“I don’t suppose he carried out very properly on the night time. He was nonetheless a bit bit baffled that he misplaced. Now in his head, ‘How a lot did the additional weight and the way a lot did the performance-enhancing medicine that have been discovered, how a lot did that have an effect on what occurred that night time?’”
Haney isn’t going to achieve something by Ryan being disqualified and his loss erased from his file. The boxing public noticed what occurred that night time, and that’s not going to go away by having Haney’s file returned to what it was earlier than.
The combat confirmed that Haney’s punch resistance was weak, and he couldn’t punch. When Haney fights one other fighter with energy at 140, he’s going to have main points.
Considerations Over Garcia’s Benefit
“In his head, it’s a bit little bit of a consolation that it wasn’t an excellent taking part in subject, and let’s be sincere. One factor is for positive, it wasn’t an excellent taking part in subject. Even should you’re the largest Ryan Garcia combat on this planet, you need to acknowledge that,” stated Hearn.
I don’t suppose Haney is kidding himself about what occurred. He is aware of he was overmatched, and uncovered by Ryan. He’s acquired to be fearful about his future after that combat as a result of all of the killers at 140 might be licking their chops, ready to get at him to complete what Ryan Garcia began. Haney can’t keep away from them ceaselessly.
“With the failed assessments, he took lots of punishment that night time,” stated Hearn about Haney. “I feel should you undergo that type of punishment and somebody fails these assessments.
Hearn: Haney Taking Loss “Personally”
“He’s taking it extraordinarily personally to the purpose the place I don’t even know if he would need to combat him [Ryan] once more.”
Haney ought to need to combat Ryan once more if cash is his focus, and I feel it’s. He’s not going to make related cash combating Isaac Cruz, Teofimo Lopez, or Subriel Matias. These guys will seemingly beat Haney and end off his profession.
“He’s really stated to me, ‘I might have misplaced my life in there. That’s why it’s vital to undergo this course of. If a fighter has gone by means of this to do this, that’s some time one other ball sport,” stated Hearn.
“Should you did that intentionally and you’ve got a fighter like Devin Haney saying, ‘I might have misplaced my life in there. I wasn’t going to stop,’ and he was taking a beating at occasions. I feel he’s taking it very badly and personally,” stated Hearn.
