Garcia knocked Haney down three times in a wild fight Saturday night to earn a majority decision victory. It was nothing short of a jaw-dropping bout, especially after Garcia's controversy-laden lead up to the fight.
RYAN GARCIA @RyanGarciaNo wife <br><br>No girl<br><br>Nothing after I win 😭😭😭😭 <a href="https://t.co/PaUoxAGcJJ">pic.twitter.com/PaUoxAGcJJ</a>
Garcia missed weight and pretended to chug a beer at his weigh in, with the two sides agreeing to make it a non-title bout. Haney, who was 31-0 coming into the night, will remain champion but now has a blemish on his record.
"I don't give a f--k what people say about me. I walked through the fire and still held it down and still beat f--king Devin Haney and still drink every day," Garcia told reporters after the bout. "Not necessarily am I proud of that, but I'm just saying it was a statement to show you, you guys can't really f--k with me."
Haney said he was "disappointed" in his performance.
"He caught me early when I was sleeping on him," Haney said. "He caught me by surprise. I fell asleep on the left hook. ... I gave him a shot. It's only right he gives me a shot back."
Based on the reaction to Saturday night's result, it would not be a surprise to see these two get in the ring together for a rematch.
