Left Hook Louie said 'I wouldn't want my son to be a schmuck'.

Well, the apple don't fall far from the tree so....just saying'.

Hilarious.
That was far from a champion’s performance.

Garcia put on a brutal beating.

Haney is lucky the ref was so corrupt. He was effectively knocked down 5-6x, and not warned for hugging all day.

True Champions don’t hug.

He should have been knocked out.

Fighters have a right to hold if they get hurt.

'Keep crying chump. And don’t make excuses. Just like you people kept telling everyone not to make excuses about Stank making Ryan come in 4 pounds under with a rehydration clause because that’s what he signed up for, don’t make excuses about the 3 pounds over because Stainey accepted the money'.

So Ryan had to weigh in at 131 for his fight with Tank? Any evidence of that or just the usual MTG 'I want to believe this, therefore its true' ?

Both of these guys performances in and out of the ring were sub par. It was a good fight none the less would have been better if Haney hugged less and Garcia should have been a man and made weight I mean you signed the contract after all. Garcia did what he had to even though he looked flawed in the ring but out of the ring it was a complete **** show who knows what he was doing.

Haney was at least able to do the work to make weight outside the ring. In the ring was a different story he was the worst i have seen him look. It was obvious that he could not handle Garcia's speed and was not getting good coaching from his Father either. He would leave his right side open for left hooks all night long and made zero adjustments. the hugging was the worst part.

The ref was disgraceful you can see he was helping Haney all night long especially during the knock downs. It reminded me of when the ref jumped in front of Maidana when he fought floyd and stopped the action just as Floyd was getting tagged with no clinch happening.

Keep crying chump. And don’t make excuses. Just like you people kept telling everyone not to make excuses about Stank making Ryan come in 4 pounds under with a rehydration clause because that’s what he signed up for, don’t make excuses about the 3 pounds over because Stainey accepted the money.

Ryan can definitely gets wins and belts at 147, I’d even give him a great shot at beating Fundora at 154.

Youve been crying a lot lately. calm down girl. everything will be alright

Haney knows how to survive. The clinching and holding is frustrating to watch but it’s an effective way to survive if you’re hurt.

To a point yes. However one thing that drives me bat s h it crazy is the tactic he employed. It was exactly the same Barthelmy uses when he is out on his feet. He’ll hold on and when the fighter steps away (as did Garcia on a couple of occasions) the boxer falls. That’s called another KD. However, the all incompetent “Doc” kept waving it off. Numerous incompetent refs do this and it drives me insane! If a boxer is holding on for dear life and falls because he has lost his grip on his opponent that’s a KD! That happened on at least 7 occasions in this fight and each should have been counted as a KD. The fight therefore if accurately called in the ring was a rout.

See 37 and tell me that’s “a right.”

Some of those "slips" should have been scored KDs but nothing wrong with using holding as a defensive tactic if you get badly rocked. Now much of Devin's holding he typically does should be penalized.

Good to hear that Bill Haney is doing okay and has his chin held up high after those 12 rounds with Garcia. Alot of "we" talk for a dude who only stepped in the ring before and after fight and in between rounds.
