Tim Bradley thinks it’s a dumb thought for Devin Haney to take a rematch with Ryan Garcia with out taking a tune-up combat first to get himself again in type after his loss final April.
It’s dangerous for Haney to leap straight right into a rematch with Ryan with out ensuring he can nonetheless take a shot with out nose-diving on the canvas like he repeatedly did in his 12-round majority determination loss towards Garcia on April twentieth. If there wasn’t the mega-millions that Haney is placing in danger, taking a warm-up combat could be sensible.
Nevertheless, if Haney takes a tune-up, he may lose; if that occurs, all the cash he would get from the rematch with Garcia could be gone. There’s no approach they may promote a second combat underneath these circumstances.
Haney’s father, Invoice Haney, just lately appeared prepared to arrange a rematch with Ryan till Kingry nixed that concept. He wasn’t going to do it.
Invoice gave Ryan a 48-hour deadline to join drug testing to get the ball rolling, and who is aware of what different hoops he would have needed him to leap by if he’d agreed to that.
Naturally, Ryan didn’t go for that concept of signing up for drug testing, on condition that there’s nonetheless a lawsuit out, he’s nonetheless suspended till April 2025, and there’s no contract signed.
Invoice ought to have used a greater technique to inform Ryan that he would drop the lawsuit and talk about after they may combat once more and what weight. Given how big each fighters are, 147 could be the logical weight, if not 154.
“I don’t assume Devin Haney ought to go proper right into a rematch. I feel it’s the dumbest factor. He’s making one other mistake if he jumps proper in and don’t take a look at himself in a brand new weight class at 147 and even attempt to make 140 once more. I don’t know. I feel he’s going to maneuver up,” stated Tim Bradley to Probox TV about Devin Haney making a mistake if he needs Ryan Garcia when he returns from his suspension in 2025.
If Haney may deal with the facility of the welterweights, taking a tune-up could be the precise factor for him to do. It doesn’t appear possible that he would do nicely dealing with the punches from fighters at 147. The combat towards Ryan final April could have finished one thing to Haney’s punch resistance, making him liable to getting harm. We don’t know. Taking a dangerous tune-up could be a nasty technique to discover out.
“He ought to get a combat in between earlier than he even talks a few rematch with Ryan Garcia simply to see the place he’s bodily,” stated Bradley.
Haney isn’t more likely to take a tune-up as a result of there’s a lot cash he could make within the rematch with Ryan. That will be insane for him to do. If there was somebody that had zero energy, and was a lot smaller than Haney, taking a tune-up would make sense. I don’t assume Haney needs to take the possibility.
“I don’t assume we’ll ever see both of those guys close to 140 once more. Haney had a whole lot of hassle making 140 for that combat [with Garcia]. He was actually drained making that 140-lh restrict,” stated Chris Algieri about Haney’s final combat on April twentieth towards Ryan Garcia.
“Ryan seems like he’s going to be campaigning at 168 with the best way he walks round just lately. There’s no approach he ever is available in underneath 147 ever once more. If there’s a man to combat, I feel 147 would make sense. Ryan can roll off the bed, throw that left hook, and knock out a horse.
“He doesn’t want a tune-up combat. He can come off a two-year ban or no matter and roll into an enormous combat as a result of he’s a gifted man. He’s bought that.
For those who’re Haney, you don’t need to take a tune-up as a result of he may lose or look dangerous about profitable. For Haney to not be criticized by followers, he would want to combat a contender at 140 or 147
