“All That Skill and No Power”: Devin Haney Working the Heavy Bag in Recent Clip Fails to Impress Fans

The highly anticipated showdown between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney is finally set for April 20th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. After a prolonged back-and-forth, including a moment when the fight was called off, both fighters now seem determined to proceed with the match. Already in camp, both fighters are showcasing their dedication through a constant stream of workout videos, demonstrating their commitment to rigorous training.

Despite the current stalemate over the fight venue, fans are optimistic that it won’t lead to another collapse. From Haney’s perspective, he appears confident about the bout and is putting in maximum effort to secure Ryan Garcia’s defeat in April. Given that he is drawing lessons from his predecessor, Gervonta Davis’ fight last year, he might just succeed in his endeavor.

Why is Devin Haney practicing those body shots?

Last year, in a highly anticipated bout, the WBC (Regular) champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis secured a knockout victory over Ryan Garcia in the seventh round. The triumph cemented Davis’ status as a burgeoning star in American boxing. The critical moment occurred when Davis landed a precise left hook on Garcia’s body, rendering him breathless and unable to respond to the 10-count. At the time, Garcia had asserted that he had an injury in the area from a previous sparring.

It appears Devin Haney is planning to get Garcia on his knees once again. Recently, a video of him training surfaced on social media. In the YouTube clip, he can observed practicing body shots on a heavy bag, initiating with light punches, and concluding the combination with a lightning-fast body shot. This could pose a challenge for Garcia, as he has demonstrated vulnerability to such punches in the past. In the same clip, he can also be seen taking shots at a double-end bag along with three other men, each taking turns to land their shots. However, was it enough to impress fans?

Fans can’t help but compare The Dream to Gervonta Davis

While some admired his skill, others questioned his knockout power. One fan specifically compared him to Tank with respect to his knockout power. The fan wrote, “He can Never K.O punch or Hitt harder than Tank.”

Another fan also commented along the same line. The fan stated, “Are you kidding me??? Devin Haney can’t knock out a toddler!.” Meanwhile, a fan jokingly wrote, “Can’t believe this guy even copied the side beard of Davis lol.” Someone else criticized Haney’s style, writing, “All that skill and no power. He’s gonna win by points not by knockout I’ll put my house up on that.”
