The absolute lightweight champion American Devin Haney (28-0, 15 KOs) commented on the rumors that very soon the most popular fighters of the division will meet in a head-to-head fight – his compatriots Gervonta Davis (27-0, 25 KOs) and Ryan Garcia (23- 0.19 KO).
The fight seems to be for the WBA World belt, which is owned by “Tank” Davis. It is his fans and experts who consider him the favorite.
Haney with this opinion does not seem to
I agree: “What do I think about it? I think it’s a good fight. Don’t forget that Ryan is just huge. It is much larger than the “Tank”. I think a lot depends on what division they fight in. (Garcia fought the last fight at 63.5 kg). I’m leaning a little more towards Ryan winning. It’s not just big. It is also powerful and fast. But the “Tank” has something to oppose – he can cut down with one blow, and Ryan did not convince in his handle (been knocked down in combat with Luke Campbell)“.
After some thought, Haney added: “You know, Gervonta’s punching power could very well be the determining factor. So I don’t know… But it’s a really good fight.”
Haney is still busy – on Sunday he will have an away rematch with Australian George Kambosos (20-1, 10 KOs). In the first fight, the American was clearly better, and here is a preview for revenge: Did Lomachenko deserve it? / Curse of W(B)C / Eternal Questions.
