The junior welterweight division doesn’t get much respect. For star level fighters, it’s just somewhere between lightweight and welterweight. Floyd Mayweather has had three fights. Manny Pacquiao had one fight in the middle age, won the line title, and then retired. Shane Mosley skips all in this department. But now, after what happened between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney on Saturday night, the junior welterweight division is the most exciting division in boxing. Will the fighters who made him so beautiful survive? No one knows. But for now, 140 pounds has a lot of corners to explore.
However, when I was looking for post topics and identifying ideas to explore different angles, I thought that using the 140 hook idea in the 140 pound class was a bit counterintuitive. It’s not true.
So, to ensure that this article gets more clicks among UK readers, I now present the 10 low-angles for Garcia-Haney and the 10 stone weight classes:
Don’t get caught up in anything. Especially for boxing.
We all get our predictions wrong, and weird things happen all the time, but Garcia-Haney is one of the clearest examples I can remember of people sticking to a story and ignoring the facts. a boxer’s chances of winning, and acting recklessly and boldly. The debate about when Garcia suffered from mental illness will continue for a long time without an answer. But despite that, we (myself and most of the fans and pundits) were under the impression that he was not going to be able to play in the ring.
When the fight was signed, I thought less than most that Garcia would have a chance to win – because of his speed and power, and some doubts I had about Haney’s jaw, I gave him a chance on the outside. of the shot – but during the strange behavior. began to pile up, I entered into the story “Honey does not disappear, it’s true.” In entertainment, there are no decisions. Garcia has made fun of you, me, and everyone else who thinks that erratic behavior means bad luck.
In Wake Of Garcia-Haney, A 10-Pack Of Thoughts On The 10-Stone Division https://t.co/ksY8c0rY3p

The writer takes a long time to write the scenes in his mind. That’s what you missed, because Garcia fought hard to win.
This question crossed my mind many times before and during this fight: Is Ryan Garcia at risk of becoming the next Adrien Broner? I mean, if he loses this game, Haney will either fail after a few big moments, or lose the game without many great moments, against a skilled, valuable, and inexperienced player. true There’s a lot in common with Broner, who shed the weight restrictions and faded into a “big name opponent” faster than expected. Garcia’s second loss in 12 months, and all the off-court distractions, could put him on a dark fast track.
In round 10, this corner was officially abandoned.
Anyway, I’m glad that this game gave me something to write about, because the next plan is to do an Easter article about boxing ten punches. (Outages include mail, fights that end after 1 a.m. Eastern, etc.)
I think I’ll keep it in my back pocket in case Easter 2025 turns out to be a slow boxing weekend. Asterisk Changes: Is Garcia getting an unfair advantage by not working hard to gain weight?
Going back to the first observation above, about making assumptions, I have to admit that my pre-war posts are still useless. I wrote an article about Haney’s win and it has an asterisk in it because Garcia is mentally ill.
Well, it turns out that Garcia’s victory was awarded like a star. He lost 3.2 pounds. He didn’t try to calm down after that. He’s a bit bigger than Haney in the ring, and in general the so-called “advantage” size has no meaning, in this case I can’t decide if it applies to the result. Garcia had the physical advantage and his punches hit Haney early, but it wasn’t unusual. If Garcia had increased his weight by lowering his weight to the approved weight, the results could have been different for the two sides.
Turn Turtle Defense is a new cable defense. Some of the moves the world-class boxer made seemed like Garcia didn’t know what he was doing other than a 90-degree clockwise turn to his body and a back cover. But in the latter stages of the fight, he began to show how to handle the madness, landing a left hook as Haney opened up and chased him in a different defensive position.
Fifty years ago, when everyone thought Muhammad Ali was crazy, he sent George Foreman to rob him in Zaire. But he knew what he was doing.
I’m sure Garcia gets too much credit, but, like it or not, his twisting and bending contributed to Devin’s downfall. Secret champion of the night: Tank Davis.
Although Gervonta Davis has been out all year, his stock increased on Saturday as Haney surpassed Davis in the pound-for-pound rankings but fell below Davis in beat Garcia.
Of course, the aforementioned Garcia was not weighed in the Haney fight, and some people gave a star to Davis’ victory over Garcia because of the weight of the fight (136 pounds and 10 pounds rehydration clause) And a thought – “Raja Rai” injured his rib when he entered the park. But those details are negligible compared to how easily Davis beat Garcia, who beat Haney. This time, the tank won the competition with the “Four Princes” (credit: Kieran Mulvaney).
Garcia-Haney 2 makes sense in sports, but Davis-Garcia 2 makes sense in business.
April’s fight between Davis and Garcia drew 1.2 million pay-per-views, nearly double sales expectations. There is little cause or need for a rematch in the next 12 months.
Now that Garcia has beaten Haney, you better believe people want it. Both of these superstars weigh between 135 and 140 (or 143.2) pounds, and if the next weight limit is better than Garcia’s in the first place, it will not be necessary to and Davis — in other words, if — No. 140 and Garcia made an effort to lose weight — one would believe it would have produced a different result.
It’s a claim that might not have been considered a few days ago, however: The Davis-Garcia fight later this year will top the 1.2 million sales of their first fight.
– 10 stone – Posthook Damn, maybe Garcia should move up to welterweight. Only Garcia knows how easy or difficult it will be for him to make it to 140 in the future, but regardless of his weight, a Mayweather-Pacquiao-Moxley matchup could be the perfect jump into the junior varsity. The right choice must be above traditional critical levels. job change.
Eddie Hearn called out Garcia’s father Jalen Butz-Ennis after the match, which was interesting, but even if the match didn’t go Team Garcia’s way, it could’ve gone to a higher level. and challenge pound for pound. King Terence Crawford? This will be the toughest fight imaginable for Garcia, but it will pay off big, even if he loses, his name will not be tarnished, and if he can beat his opponent, he will be a Hall of Famer for short time.
Also, we may not see Garcia 140 or 147 for a while. When Tyson Fury reached the top of the mountain, he had to take two years before he was motivated again. Garcia’s consistent struggles should surprise no one.
Who is Teofimo?
Junior welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez. But nobody cares about him now. While Garcia, Haney and Davis battled each other, quarterback “Prince” battled Steve Cratchit’s lineup. I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that the 26-year-old Lopez could be a mainstay again in the future, but for now, the 140-year-old is a supporting player despite his lofty position in the list.
Arnold Barboza Jr. can wait as long (or longer).
While Saturday’s pay-per-view episodes exceeded lower expectations, the main event of Arnold Barboza vs. Sean McComb is very annoying, Finally there is a controversial decision. He seems to dictate the fights and everything, but Barboza is not ready for the first time. This time he is the letter that must be taken in the deep division, and the best thing about him is that guys like Danielito Zorrilla, Alex Saucedo, and Jose Pedraza and Mike Alvarado have faded, talking to That’s all you need to know about letters. Rating.
It’s safe to say that Barbosa didn’t ask for anything last week that gave him a big chance.
Bold Prediction: Jose Ramirez vs. Barthelemy’s Rances in Saturday’s 10 Stone main event are no match for Garcia-Haney.
Barthelemy, in fact, does not offer a rich history of anxiety and depression. This Saturday on DAZN Vergil Ortiz Jr. I was more interested in the main topic.
Also, see how many of us are wrong about Garcia-Haney. Maybe the Ramirez-Barthelemy shooting was just a false accusation made in a sport that lost the script.
