Carrington’s insight on Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia

Bruce Carrington sheds light on the contrasting paths of Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia leading up to their showdown. “We got to go off of the last fights, right?

Highlighting Haney’s consistent prowess, he noted, “Devin [is] just on a momentum…he hasn’t really had a bad performance.”

While acknowledging Garcia’s recent setbacks, Carrington didn’t count him out, stating, “Garcia is still a very tough competitor in the 140 division.” His analysis suggests a nuanced view, where Haney’s form seems to tip the scales, yet Garcia’s tenacity remains a wildcard.
