    Ryan Garcia vs Devin Haney fight was excellent. Tons of drama before and after the fight involving (Boxing) youtubers.

    Bill Haney a snitch - tried to get someone beat up at the hotel. He use to be a p**p you know.

    Time for eats, I'm hungry.

    Been waiting years for one of our boxers to fight at our stadium.

    100% going. Can't wait :clap:

    Am away that weekend unfortunately but I'd have been tempted to go otherwise. Should certainly be a lively one.

    Re-watched the Haney v Garcia fight again and it was a great fight. Two things to note. The ref and a judge did their everything to give Haney that fight. On one of the knockdowns I think it was about 20 seconds before they started fighting again. One judge also scored it a draw and I cannot for the life of me see how he's scored that a draw. He should be sacked immediately. Also, Haney was his own worst enemy. Tank showed everyone how to beat Garcia. take away his powerful left hook and he will struggle more. Haney let him tee it off all fight. I like Garcia though, he's a really exciting fighter. Talks are he's moving up to 147 welterweight. I think Welterweight would be a great move for him. He was clearly very drained making weight against Tank and didn't even bother in this fight as he knew Haney would be near 150lbs on fight night.

    This will be quality. Planning to go too, really like CBS and couldn’t make his fight at the Vitality against Okolie annoyingly. I can’t stand that guy and wanted to be there for that.

    Think I read pre-sale tickets will be available next week, although I've been pissed since Sunday so that could be nonsense.

    :laugh::laugh: I've seen Haney fight before but not Garcia. I'm not laughing at you because it seems everyone had that point of view. As a self confessed armchair boxing fan, the build up made me believe it was all Haney.

    I only watched the fight because of the comments on here, so thanks all! Brilliant!

    :laugh: He fooled me mate. With all his online social media and press conference antics I thought he was losing the plot and I think Haney did as well. :laugh:

    For sure. Was probably more excited for that than Fury Usyk though.

    without a doubt. It was the best boxing card (on paper and imo) ever. But we still have wilder/zhang, Dubois/hrgovic which is possibly for the ibf title. 2 genuine top 10 and unbeaten Mws fighting. Nick ball against anyone is gonna be a fun fight, and that’s for a world title as well. Im gutted but still looking forward to this more than the usyk/fury card

    Nasty KO that was. The Naoya Inoue train rolls on.
