“Well y’all know the rest”: Ryan Garcia Takes a Cheeky Dig at Devin Haney and His Relationship With Diddy After His Dominant Win
American professional boxer Ryan Garcia gained the attention of audiences across the world with his peculiar social media posts. From declaring his love for reality TV star Kylie Jenner to alleging that the beauty mogul’s relationship with actor Timothée Chalamet was for clout, Garcia gave the audience the thought that he might not be serious about his fight with Devin Haney.
However, on Saturday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, according to reports, Ryan Garcia, despite it being a non-title fight, displayed his career-best performance against Devin Haney. He won the fight via a majority decision and was highly lauded by the authorities and the viewers. Garcia later took to his social media to comment on the public’s reaction to downplaying him ahead of the fight.
Underdog Ryan Garcia defeats crowd favorite Devin Haney by a majority decision
Widely known for his erratic social media posts and being an exceptional professional boxer, Ryan Garcia has once again proved why he’s called King Ryan. The highly anticipated match between him and fellow professional boxer Devin Haney was finally met with a result stratifying the boxer.
However, according to CBS, the match became a non-title on Friday after Garcia weighed in at 143.2 pounds, which meant that he was 3.2 pounds above the super lightweight limit. But this did not hold him back from putting on what is now described as his career’s best performance in the ring.
Garcia defeated Devin Haney, as he managed to floor him three times in a majority. The BBC reported that the scorecards 112-112, 114-110, and 115-109 saw the decision going in Garcia’s favor. After the match, Garcia said to the fans, (via Matchroom Boxing)
“You really thought I was crazy? You all lost your own minds. You guys overegg everything. You guys hate on me cuz I’m pretty and sh*t. At the end of the day, I’ve been boxing my whole life, and all I do is love God and try to help the children. You guys do not love the truth. The truth is, I put my f**king reputation on the line for all the kids in the world.”
During the post-match conference, Garcia said that he had been drinking every day to overcome the fact that he got divorced earlier this year. He added that he is not saying that he is proud of this but noted that he can do whatever he wants and still win.
According to USA Today, Garcia explained that he just knew that he had control after landing vicious punches in the first round against Haney. He added that he knows that it’s hard to recover from big shots, and maybe his condition wasn’t the best, but at the end of the day, he got the job done. He became the first boxer to defeat Haney.
Devin Haney is ‘disappointed’ with his performance against Ryan Garcia
Devin Haney, who was considered a crown favorite, witnessed his first defeat at the hands of underdog Ryan Garcia and is disappointed with his performance. Haney, however, still holds the title of WBC super-lightweight belt and is hoping for a rematch. DAZN reported that Haney mentioned,
“I would love a rematch. I gave him a shot; it’s only right he gives me a shot back. He didn’t make weight, so I’m still the champion. We can run it back.”
But it seemed like Garcia had fun taking the opportunity to once again mock Devin Haney and his relationship with Diddy and make remarks about the same. Diddy has been accused of s*xual assault. Gracia took to social media and shared,
“Bruh, pause, no. Well, y’all know the rest. Headed to Florida. Crazy shiii happens there; we will see was up.”
This wasn’t the first time; Gracia had taken a dig at Haney and Diddy. Ahead of the anticipated match, after a heated altercation between the two of them, Haney shoved Garcia during a faceoff on the top of the Empire State Building. At the time, he wrote on his X account,
“Bro I thought he was going in for a kiss no cap. Diddy got him good. Devin whispered in my ear, ‘Come’ do me like Diddy Daddy. Pretty weird.”
Talking about Haney and Diddy in an episode of the 4HUNNID Podcast (via Hip Hop DX), Haney revealed the reason he went to Diddy’s parties. He said that the rapper had a bunch of h**s at the house, and he made his way to the house, adding that they knew that Diddy had some parties.
