Ryan Garcia proved his skeptics wrong and defied the odds, dropping Devin Haney three times in a majority decision victory Saturday night at Barclays Center.
NEW YORK -- Ryan Garcia's fitness to fight was questioned in the lead-up to his bout Saturday night with Devin Haney, a turbulent promotion that was highlighted by
One judge scored the bout 112-112 but was overruled by scores of 114-110 and 115-109 for Garcia. However, Garcia wasn't eligible to win Haney's WBC junior welterweight title after weighing in at 143.2 pounds on Friday for the 140-pound contest. The title will now become vacant. One day earlier, Garcia made a bet with Haney and agreed to pay him $500,000 for every pound he weighed in at above 140. Haney later said Garcia honored the bet, which would mean Garcia paid Haney a total of $1.5 million.
Garcia, 25, found it in Round 7 as he floored Haney -- the first time Haney has been on the canvas in 32 pro fights -- only Garcia didn't capitalize. Moments after the knockdown, as the crowd erupted, Garcia crushed Haney with a right hand on the break and was deducted one point by referee Harvey Dock.Garcia floored Haney again in Round 10, this time with a tremendous right hand, the same punch he used to wobble Haney in Round 6.
