Ryan Garcia shocks the world and wins the fight against Devin Haney 🥊

In a thrilling match in Brooklyn, New York, American boxer Ryan Garcia emerged victorious over compatriot Devin Haney, stunning him with three knockdowns throughout the fight. Despite a close call with scorecards, Garcia clinched the win with a majority decision.

Garcia's powerful left hook proved to be his most effective weapon, sending Haney to the canvas in the seventh, 10th, and 11th rounds. Despite Haney's previous undefeated status as world champion, Garcia's skill and strategy prevailed.

The judges' scorecards reflected a tight competition, with scores of 112-112, 114-110, and 115-109 ultimately favoring Garcia. However, Garcia's failure to make weight for the fight meant he couldn't claim Haney's WBC light-welterweight title, adding a twist to the outcome.

Despite his disappointment with the outcome, a resilient Haney expressed pride in his performance, demonstrating his resilience and determination after each knockdown.

In another match on the undercard, Belfast's Sean McComb faced controversy in a split decision loss to Arnold Barboza Jr. Despite displaying impressive footwork and timing, McComb fell short in the world-title eliminator, leaving fans and pundits debating the outcome.
