Blair Cobbs says Devin Haney is a “coward,” and he’s anxious that if he beat him, he’d have his defeat cleansed from his file someway. A sparring session between the 2 fighters surfaced lately, displaying Cobbs beating the stuffing out of Haney at occasions, touchdown some huge photographs.
Haney and Cobbs are rumored to be combating subsequent in December. If this seems to be true, it could be Haney’s comeback combat and his means of getting his ft moist within the welterweight division. The 25-year-old Haney has outgrown the 140-lb division, and it could be a mistake for him to empty right down to the load class for his subsequent combat.
If Devin is combating at 60% capability as a result of 20+ lbs of water weight that he should shed, even a tune-up-level fighter may beat him. A second consecutive defeat would outcome within the mega-paydays Haney has grow to be accustomed to disappearing. Furthermore, he’d now not be on the A-list and given the red-carpet remedy at occasions. He’d be simply one other fading contender.
Haney is a combat Cobbs says he’d prefer to have, however he has doubts whether or not it’ll occur. Haney continues to be sitting on the shelf after the unhealthy expertise he had, shedding to Ryan Garcia on April twentieth. Some followers query whether or not Haney will ever be the identical after the way in which Ryan pummeled him.
Cobbs (17-1-1, 10 KOs) doesn’t like how Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) reacted to his loss to Ryan, crying about it as a substitute of simply taking the defeat with a stiff higher lip like a warrior.
Blair says that the Ostarine that Ryan examined optimistic for didn’t do something to have an effect on the result of the combat. In different phrases, Haney misplaced the combat as a result of Ryan was a greater fighter, and had his quantity.
“All people noticed the way you guys acted with the Ryan a** whooping. You could possibly react higher taking a loss,” stated Blair Cobbs to Combat Hub TV, speaking about Devin Haney’s resolution to take the authorized route following his loss to Ryan Garcia on April twentieth.
“Because you needed to behave the way in which you had been, I didn’t begin performing like a coward after a loss. I bounced again. You suppose you may deal with somebody like me? You keep in mind that a** whooping, proper? Come and get it, and I’ll take these pillow fingers, and stuff it up your [blank] and present you what it truly is, a coward. Do one thing about it,” stated Cobbs.
How Cobbs regarded in opposition to Adrien Broner final June can be an excessive amount of for Haney. Cobbs hits too exhausting and would potshot Haney all evening. It may not go the space.
“There’s been no talks. Actually, there’s been extra talks a few Conor Benn or Ennis than Devin Haney,” stated Cobbs to Marko when requested if there’s been negotiations for a combat with Haney. “Both means, it could be nice for boxing.
First I bought no energy now I’m on PEDS. OK

“If I may combat anybody, it could be Ryan Garcia. I can wait, however it could be a combat price ready for. I’d take a tune-up after which combat Ryan Garcia. I’d push out a heavy promotion. As soon as I win that combat, my star standing will go up tenfold, twentyfold, and possibly a hundredfold.
“Devin would in all probability be the final combat I’d need as a result of they’ll’t take a loss. They’ll [Team Haney] will begin crying all the way in which. They’ll’t take a loss. They’ll reverse it [have loss erased]. They’ll do one thing. They’re a really unfair group of individuals that can’t take a loss.
“You’ve gotten this far doing what you’re doing, however while you get so far, it’s time so that you can bow gracefully that you simply misplaced and be the champion that you’re. You possibly can’t try this. So, all these accolades are faux. All the things that’s occurred up till now could be false,” stated Cobbs about Haney.
Ryan knocked a couple of chips out of Haney’s self-belief with that three-knockdown, 12-round majority resolution, and it doesn’t look good that he’s been sitting inactive all this time with out returning to the ring in opposition to one of many killers at 140 or 147. Haney may have fought Sandor Martin, Liam Paro, or virtually anybody.
“You’re not the true champion as a result of like the place was Sugar Ray Leonard when he took a loss? He got here again. No, as a result of Ostarine isn’t one thing that somebody was blood doping can be taking,” stated Cobbs when requested if he thinks Haney shouldn’t have made an enormous deal about Ryan Garcia testing optimistic for a PED for his or her combat on April twentieth.
Haney had the chance to defend his WBA gentle welterweight title in opposition to Sandor Martin however selected to not settle for the combat after a low purse bid. He was downgraded from WBC champion to ‘Champion in Recess,’ and he’s now not the 140-lb champ with that group.
Haney ought to have taken that combat as a result of it could have given him an opportunity to get a straightforward payday and present the followers that he’s come again from his loss to Ryan. His resolution to reject the combat and lose his WBC title resulted in lots of followers pondering he’s misplaced his self-confidence from his defeat.
“They undoubtedly wouldn’t be taking extraordinarily small dosages of it prefer it’s going to do one thing. More often than not, they’ve Ostarine in most dietary supplements. The factor is, it’s such low dosages that they don’t even put it on the label. Once you’re doing these anti-blood doping sorts of issues, they’ll convey up all types of stuff, proper? That doesn’t imply it’s going to do something.
“I’ll present you all of the dietary supplements I’m taking simply to maintain my a** alive in coaching camp. I might wager it that despite the fact that they’ve the best grade and the perfect qualities, they’d have one thing like, ‘Yo, I don’t know what that’s.’ I did lots of analysis to know that Ostarine is a quite common factor amongst dietary supplements generally. Quite a lot of the time, the dietary supplements are tainted with very, very small doses of Ostarine.
“Ostarine isn’t an enhancement on that degree. It’s solely an enhancement when it’s in a excessive dosage, and it’s mixed with different issues,” stated Cobbs.
Whether or not Ostarine helped Ryan Garcia or not, we’ll by no means know till he and Devin combat once more. A rematch doesn’t promise with Haney’s dad, Invoice Haney, giving 48-hour deadlines for drug testing and sounding like he nonetheless hasn’t mentally processed the fact of what came about final April. Invoice continues to be performing like he thinks Devin is on high of the world, unbeaten in a real sense, and seen as #1 at 140.
None of these issues are legitimate anymore. Ryan modified all that along with his one-sided win over Haney, and Invoice has to know that his son is seen as yesterday’s information by followers. It’ll keep that means till Haney proves that he’s not washed up.
