Coach Kenny Ellis sees a rematch between Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia as one of many largest PPV fights in 2025 because of all of the smoke from their struggle earlier this 12 months in April.
It doesn’t appear like there might be a rematch between the 2 fighters with out Haney dropping his lawsuit or shedding it. If he’s victorious and wins an enormous settlement, the possibilities of a rematch will evaporate.
Ryan would doubtless be bitter and gained’t wish to chance-it in a rematch, pondering that Haney might provoke one other lawsuit if he loses once more or even when he wins. If Ryan sees Haney as litigious, he gained’t wish to struggle him. Haney would doubtless earn more money in a rematch than together with his lawsuit, however clearly, he doesn’t see it that method.
It seems to be like he desires the lawsuit cash, and he thinks he’ll nonetheless get the rematch. He may very well be incorrect.
Ellis thinks that followers will wish to see how Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs) will do in opposition to Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) when he’s “not on medicine.”
Ryan examined optimistic for Ostarine after his 12-round majority resolution win over Haney on April twentieth. Haney has since initiated a lawsuit in opposition to Ryan because of his optimistic PED take a look at for battery and fraud.
Ellis says he views Haney’s resolution to sue Garcia as being much like somebody going to the police, and that’s not one thing they do in Baltimore.
“That’s like some police [stuff]. In Baltimore, we don’t name the police, man. It’s what it’s. I assume it’s enterprise for him,” stated coach Kenny Ellis to Fighthype, reacting to Devin Haney selecting to sue Ryan Garcia over his loss to him final April.
“Not that I do know of, however I’m certain it’s been performed previously. It’s not out within the public like this,” Ellis stated when requested if he’s ever heard of one other fighter initiating a lawsuit after shedding a struggle.
“I can say due to this case, all this going backwards and forwards and all this smoke, subsequent 12 months that struggle will be one of many largest fights on PPV,” Ellis stated concerning the Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney rematch.
Once more, a rematch with Ryan in all probability gained’t occur if Haney doesn’t drop the lawsuit. It’s a disgrace as a result of there can be numerous curiosity from followers in seeing them struggle once more. With out that rematch, Haney’s scenario is bleak.
Who can Haney truly beat at 140 and 147 that has expertise? I see him shedding to Liam Paro, Teofimo Lopez, Subriel Matias, Mario Barrios, Jaron Ennis, Eimantas Stanionis and Brian Norman Jr. The one guys Haney can in all probability beat are those with no energy and restricted abilities.
“No, I don’t assume he’s a shot fighter. He acquired hit with some clear pictures. He went from the primary spherical to the twelfth spherical, and he went out on his defend,” stated Ellis, reacting to Ryan’s promoter Oscar De La Hoya saying the Haney-Garcia rematch gained’t occur as a result of Haney is a “shot fighter.”
What De La Hoya doubtless meant by calling Haney a “shot fighter” is that his lawsuit means that he’s emotionally troubled by his loss and may’t come again from it. De La Hoya says that if it had been him, he would have taken the rematch and confirmed that he might avenge it.
“He’ll [Haney] take a couple of 12 months off and bounce again. I’ve seen fighters take worse whippings than that and bounce again,” stated Ellis.
Ellis doesn’t say who Haney would “bounce again” in opposition to. If he’s speaking a couple of lesser fighter, yeah, he can try this. But when he thinks Haney can “bounce again” in opposition to somebody good like Liam Paro, Alberto Puello, Brian Norman Jr., or Boots Ennis, that isn’t taking place. He’ll lose to these guys.
“Tank by itself will convey an even bigger crowd, however due to the Devin Haney and Ryan scenario, individuals wish to see that rematch. They wish to see Ryan do what he do when he’s not on medicine, on so-called medicine. I don’t assume he was on medicine, however you understand,” stated Ellis when requested what struggle he thought was greater, a Gervonta Davis-Ryan rematch or a Haney-Ryan second struggle.
There can be numerous curiosity in a Tank vs. Garcia rematch, nevertheless it doesn’t appear more likely to occur. Ryan is now a welterweight, and Tank would count on him to soften all the way down to 138.
Furthermore, a 10-lb rehydration clause would doubtless be one thing Kingry would want to comply with for a rematch with Gervonta to occur, and that’s not reasonable. Ryan would appear like a skeleton making an attempt to make weight for a rematch with Tank. It’s too unhealthy Tank requires weight stipulations for his vital fights as a result of it means that he lacks confidence in himself, and is wants a handicap to assist him win.
