Was travelling so did not see it live but saw it the next day.
Few things:
-Haney won most (all ?) of the rounds in which he did not get knocked down and factor in the point deduction for Garcia and its a close fight despite the three knockdowns.
- As (sort of) suspected, Haney is proving chin-y and will have trouble with anyone with legit power.
- Haney's camp completely botched the Garcia weight issue. I figure it was ego/arrogance that allowed this to happen. Not having a re-hydration clause in the contract and essentially allowing Garcia to miss weight (granted, Garcia had to pay Haney for this but still) and then have no re-hydration clause is crazy. Garcia was much the bigger man between the two in terms of weight (guess Garcia learned after Tank had that clause in their fight).
Fury-Usyk on May 18 (finally)
5 X 5 card on June 1 will be one of the better overall cards in a good while.
Canelo fights in early May (too bad its not against Benavidez).
Inoue fights two days after the Canelo fight.
Josh Taylor/Catterall fight in late May.
