What happened during Ryan Garcia vs Devin Haney?
Haney was defending his super-lightweight world championship for the first fight since gaining it with a one-sided points victory against Regis Prograis last year. Garcia opened aggressively with a left hook that shocked Haney and sent him back against the ropes. After being shaken up by Garcia's early attack, Haney settled down and began to dominate the following few rounds.
Garcia was slowing down around the halfway point, but he continued to have excellent streaks that temporarily challenged Haney. The reigning champion was felled in the seventh round with a right hook and was seriously wounded after returning to his feet, hitting the ground twice more but both times were deemed slips by the referee.
The referee deducted a point from Garcia for punching Haney when they were coming out from the clinch. Haney returned to bank more rounds but was floored again by Garcia's left hook in the tenth round. The reigning champion rose off the canvas again but was defeated with the same display in the following round.
Garcia showboated in the last 30 seconds by wriggling his arms and slamming his gloves together, and the judges scored the fight 112-112, 114-110, and 115-109 in Garcia's favor at the final bell.
