Devin Haney loses his temper, becomes depressed, and loses hope.
All this was caused by several serious blows to the face.
On Monday’s episode of Deep Water on ProBox TV, a crew with former world champions Chris Algieri and Paulie Malignaggi saved Haney’s first loss in 25 years.
“He had a really good jab, and then he got hurt again (and lost in the seventh round), and it was all gone,” Algieri said. – He gets to the point where the bad guy is chased. There are two things you can’t do: have sex with a prostitute – that’s what Devin does all the time – you can’t have a boxer.
“Haney’s team has a really bad game plan and how to play against a guy like Ryan Garcia.”
Instead of letting his jab and all-round boxing skills shine through, Haney (31-1) was unable to shake the left hand of his former lightweight opponent, which was a bit different from the fight after the Garcia’s 3.2-pound weight cut for the title. will fight for the WBC 140-pound title that stopped his promotion.
Malignaggi was shocked to see Haney not only knocked out by Garcia’s two hard punches in the first round, but after stunning challenges and moving from rounds two to six, knock him down and leave seven wounds.

-The fight should not be rushed. Haney needs to use that jab to finish the fight and win the fight on foot,” said Marigoj. “That’s what you have to do.”
Algieri admitted that Garcia “looked very drunk, like an old fighter” in the early stages, and he let his hands go. He is fast and strong and almost always catches Haney.
When Haney called to rehire a proven coach to lead his cornerback, instead of his father and manager, Bill Haney, Algieri said he was shocked the first time he saw Haney. working on his left hand in the closet.
Ø Why is this happening? You said [Garcia] was just a one pony [bad hook]. Why was he given the opportunity to go ashore? It’s very different,” Algieri said.
Marignaggi said that Haney, who has beaten former fighters such as Jorge Linares, Vasily Lomachenko and Regis Progras in recent years, is the first in a state of shock lately.
“I still think he’s a good boxer, but people want to think of him as [Floyd] Mayweather, and … he’s not the next Mayweather,” Malignaggi said. – His chin is suspicious. He is not a boxer. [To Garcia], you should know. This is where you show who you are.
– [Remember], Mayweather injured [Sean] Mosley. What happened after that? Mosley did not win the fight for a second time. Haney was injured and died from the stroke.
Where will Honey go now? He remains the WBC 140-pound champion, a division that includes Teofimo Lopez, Isaac Pitbull Cruz and Puerto Rico’s Subril Matias.
While all boxers are talking about a rematch in the ring, Garcia said he can’t go below 143 pounds and mentioned fighting at welterweight and competing for the welterweight championship brother Sebastian Fundola.
– To Devin Haney, I know I’ve been awful for criticizing you before. When I fought Miguel Cotto, I was 25 years old and I was beaten badly,” said Marignaggi. – I came back and won two world titles.
– If you believe in yourself, you will come back and you will come back. I know he can still win. After that punishment, he had to believe in himself.
