Haney-Garcia: Who wins and how?

Gary Lockett (Trainer)

Iโ€™d love to see Ryan Garcia do it. I donโ€™t like some of Devin Haneyโ€™s comments. Heโ€™s brash and arrogant. But I do think Haney is the closest thing Iโ€™ve seen to [Floyd] Mayweather. He fights very much like him. Heโ€™s got that shoulder roll style, not the biggest puncher but heโ€™s very accurate and doesnโ€™t waste a lot of shots. I think heโ€™ll probably out-box Ryan Garcia down the stretch.

Gary Logan (Trainer)

Devin Haney all day. Heโ€™s a better all-round boxer than Garcia has shown. Ryanโ€™s got more than decent power, but heโ€™s got nothing to negate Devinโ€™s skill and work ethic. I give Garcia a puncherโ€™s chance against Haney. If he hits him, heโ€™ll have Haney in trouble, but I just donโ€™t see him setting the traps. To beat Haney, youโ€™ve got to be very clever and heโ€™s not at that level.

Devin Haney puts on a masterclass and out-boxes Ryan Garcia to a points decision with maybe one knockdown late in the fight. It just doesnโ€™t look like Garcia is mentally in the right frame of mind to fight. Prior to what weโ€™ve been seeing from him online I gave Garcia a chance. I think he matches Haney in speed but the footspeed is the key to the fight for Haney and his evasiveness.

Andy Lee (Trainer)

Devin Haney has the better fundamentals and while Ryan Garciaโ€™s definitely taking it seriously, Iโ€™m not sure how serious if you can believe social media. Garcia has that quick speed and could surprise Haney with it. You can never count Garcia out, heโ€™s tall and counter punches well especially with the left hook. I probably just favour Haney because of his fundamentals, and heโ€™s got the momentum with him.
