Who would win? Most people in boxing will definitely side with the undefeated guy with the better track record! However, that does not eliminate the chances of the underdog causing an upset. Ryan Garcia will take on Devin Haney on April 20 somewhere in Las Vegas, and 23-1 Puerto Rican boxer Abraham Nova is here with the prediction.

The path to the much-anticipated fight hasn’t been the easiest. At one point, it seemed like the fight wouldn’t happen, but the money turned out to be too good! The pair even got into a physical altercation when they met in the Super Bowl LVIII Radio Row, creating even more hype. So, while appearing in an interview with Fight Hype today, Nova chose his champion!

Nova himself is about to enter the ring against O’Shaquie Foster tonight for the WBC super featherweight title. So, while discussing his fight, the reporter probed Nova about his predictions for the upcoming Garcia-Haney fight. ‘El Super’ wasted no time coming up with an answer, claiming, “Ryan Garcia all day. He’s going to win.”

Nova added that Garcia’s personality imparts a false image, but Garcia has what it takes to win. “His skills, the way he looks, [don’t] speak for him. But he performs. And he knows how to fight, and the number one thing is style makes [the] fight, and Ryan Garcia, he’s tailor-made for that,” said Nova. When asked about whether Garcia can score a knockout, Nova stated, “High possibility, yes!” While Nova is backing ‘King Ry,’ a British boxing promoter has also taken his pick.

“They’re two tremendous young fighters putting it on the line on April 20th. I’m looking forward to a massive night. I think Devin wins by late stoppage or points,” he continued.
