“That S*** Was Ridiculous” – Garry Russel Jr. Trashes Devin Haney for His Performance Against Yuriorkis Gamboa

WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney has been bashed by several boxing pundits and fans for failing to stop a 38-year-old Yuriorkis Gamboa in his recent title defense on Saturday. ‘The Dream’ has claimed a comfortable victory via unanimous decision. However, he has been ridiculed throughout for not putting much pressure on his opponent.

Coming off from a TKO loss against Gervonta Davis, Gamboa successfully went to the distance with Devin Haney and didn’t let the champion infuse much damage. That said, Gary Allen Russell Jr. is not impressed with the undefeated champion.

Russel has recently slammed Haney for his performance and has billed it to be ‘boring’. While Haney had put on a tactical showdown for the fans, it seems that not many are impressed with it. People were expecting him to unveil a KO, constantly measuring his performance with Gervonta Davis’s stoppage over Gamboa. No doubt, Haney has disappointed them to some extent.

Gary Allen Russell Jr. has some harsh words for Devin Haney

Russel has recently posted a video on social media. He claimed to have watched the fight after its live telecast and was left unimpressed with it.

Criticizing Haney’s performance, Russel Jr, said, “Honestly, I ain’t watched that  s***. I got about a million phone calls, though. I watched it (Haney vs Gamboa) yesterday, last night. Devin boy, you did all the mother f**** talking and you looked like s***. I swear to god that was the boringest mother f**** fight ever. I don’t know why people paid that money to see that  s***. You did all these mother f*** rapping.”

He added, “Get the f*** out of here. That s*** that you did last night. I mean Saturday with Gamboa that s*** was ref*****diculous man. That s*** was ridiculous. You know that was unf***satisfactory to what you said to yourself.”

However, Haney is unbothered about such statements. He appeared to be impressed with himself. At least that’s what his social media post suggests. The 21-year-old world champion is still undefeated, and in the process, he has validated some high-voltage matchups for himself in the future.
