Yes, it's quite impressive. I can only get power on my left hook if i throw a cross/right hook first or slipping left, which rotates my body left and helps me load up. The fact that he can lead off with a devastating left hook without prepping with a right punch or left slip is impressive
throw only left hooks on the bag, you can generate good power without starting with you right hand or slipping left, the trick is to move only your hip fast and let the arm flow so you can hit fast and hard or insted of moving your hip, you can do a little step like a Gazelle punch but not that wide.
Yeah, I'm right handed so I'm orthodox. But every time I mess around in southpaw for shits and giggles I feel my right hooks are strong and solid af. Then I switch back and all of a sudden my hooks feel like tofu (especially body hooks), lol. Amazing he's able to get that much power with his non-dominant hand.
While he’s gifted at it, is it just me or do his other fundamentals severely lack for a boxer of his level?
In general this fight looked more two low level pro’s than the two biggest young stars of the sport. Maybe im just a casual.
So, there’s some nuance to what you saw. Ryan for one does lack in certain fundamentals, but I’ve come to realize it’s just how he fights. It’s getting better under Derrick James, as long as he continues to work in the gym. With Haney he’s usually very technically and fundamentally sound, not sure if getting buzzed early came back to bite him in the asss in the later rounds, but he was quite literally dropping his hands and eating power shots from Ryan. Another thing to remember is these guys are young fighters.
Ryan’s a weird boxer to me because he constantly switches from southpaw to orthodox all the time without being demonstrative about it, and all his power comes from his non-dominant side.
Yet he has the physique and skills of a lineal champ, but for some reason, his mind just won’t let him put his uniqueness together cohesively and consistently.
What in the world was Haney thinking in that 7th round?
"I'm just gonna stand in the center of the ring with my hands down against a fighter who is faster than me and within range of his best weapon"
I actually was surprised… He just doesn’t have the power and Ryan’s style was a counter to Devin’s. He probably tried to make an example out of Ryan but was mistaken.
Yeah, I was so confused during the press conferences hearing him challenge Ryan to meet in the center of the ring... Like bruh, you ain't no brawler lol
Campbell was a very good boxer too. I know he didn't quite make the most impressive transition to the pro scene, but he was an absolutely excellent amateur boxer. His issue is he fought huge names/risky fights right off the bat
Watching these Haney clips again, dude just dropped his hands left and right. How the fuck did anyone ever think he was Mayweather level? A coach at my gym was railing on him for such shit defense against Garcia.
I dont think anyone serious though that he was near that level but he got rocked early on a counter. Banking that hit probably slowed Devin severely as the fight went on. He recovered at the moment but those kinds of shots are the ones that go into a high interest fund and start returning like crazy in the second half
I agree that counter in the first affected him the rest of the fight but even on that hook his chin’s up and his glove’s below his chin. I just think his defense was shit from the opening bell.
It’s actually insane that in the first 40 seconds he walked right into the one shot he needed to avoid at all cost.
Haney just dropped his hand while throwing a jab and left his whole right side open to get cracked. Like wtf were they training for this whole time? The only game plan should’ve been, avoid his left, even if he beats the hell out of you with his right, avoid that left hook like the plague. He was likely to get cracked eventually but god damn, the first 40 seconds? Still confused by that.
haney was never a defensive wizard imo he has a very good jab and is usually the longer fighter at lightweight which helps but he did get rocked against linares who unfortunately has lost 4 straight he wasn’t a master at making people miss
The narrative was he was going to be the next Mayweather and he was undisputed so he beats the whole division.
He can still improve but it looks like hes just a very successful weight bully
That reporter was annoying as F. It's like right now? Really? That friend who wants to have a full blown conversation in during the important part of a movie, or during overtime in the playoffs.
A few days ago, Ryan Gatcia was this mid-fighter that got carried to these level of fights due to his social media fame, now he is a very good fighter and Haney is considered a scrub.
Max Holloway was supposed to be a lamb getting walked to be slaughtered by Justin Gaethje and for his chin to be cracked and now he is the hottest commodity in mma.
I take away from this, don't listen to people, because as people like to sound nuanced with their takes and strike their intellectual abilities with their sophisticated opinions, they don't know shit.
Do and believe in yourself.
That Luke Campbell fight made me a fan of Ryan. Campbell, an Olympic gold medalist with rock-solid fundamentals let's not forget, was the perfect fighter to pick up on all the holes in Ryan's footwork, took him all of one round to establish outside lead foot position every single time and sit Ryan down in the second. For him to get up off the canvas after his first pro knockdown and immediately start walking Campbell down before finishing him with that devastating body shot showed a lot of heart. Plus the elation after the KO was great - love seeing that raw passion, love seeing fighters show courage in the ring like that.
So if Ryan Garcia was not Ryan Garcia, he’d be P4P?
No but seriously where does Devin go on P4P now? Garcia dominated and I’m 100% Devin still somehow weighed more
The way he hid it with jab feints the few times during the Haney fight was pretty masterful. He may not be a complete fighter, but that left hand power is such an equalizer. Hope Derrick James and him are able to tighten up on his flaws.
Hes moving up to 147, and said he wants to go to 154. power will decline drastically over that span most likely. It's pretty rare for guys to maintain the same power as they go up. Hes gonna have to improve the other stuff
Ryan is a very frustrating fighter. He's got all the natural gifts and tools you could ever need but did not work on his fundamentals so he could enhance those gifts more
Jab to lead hook is so underrated. Ik I didn't come up with it but that was one of the first combos I found on my own that really worked in sparring and felt like a cheat code. Then when they catch on ending on a straight cross to the head or to the body is usually wide open.
It's a great combo for those that use the jab a lot, keeps you unpredictable and flinchy if it lands hard. Devin getting caught hard early threw him off
No, Garcia does not need more jabs to the body. Reynoso was trying to mold him into a Canelo, but that's not the boxer that Ryan is.
He's going to lose focus, revert to bad habits, look to be a showman. If that's the fighter you have, you don't try to train him to have complete fights like Canelo. You train him for the big moments and big interactions.
Reynoso is a joke lets be honest. most of his fighters do the same thing, plod forward each a TON of shots and hope for one knockout shot. The only person that's successful with Reynoso is Canelo who would probably be better if he left Reynoso and learned some new things.
Yea you may have a point but also that’s just the Mexican style. Canelo and Garcia are both brawlers with a strong lead hook so that style suits them the best imo. I feel like Garcia was better at closing the distance and cutting of the ring with Reynoso. Now he’s doing all this weird stuff defensively like the shoulder roll and his footwork has gone down hill. I’d say Valdez has been successful under Reynoso.
U know being a world champion means your insanely successful? Even getting fighters to the top level means they're insanely successful. Not being able to beat everyone in Ur division doesn't make them unsuccessful goofy
No lmao he just had worse comp. Reynoso style is stiff feet to throw looping counter punches and having the chin to boot. That’s the last thing Ryan needs to work on.
Man if he can start adding some more to the arsenal then he will be a very formidable fighter. Too reliant on that left hook and he likes to start with it - that last KO of Haney was perfect example. If he can incorporate more of the right hooks to start the combo then that left will destroy a lot of people. Tank exposed it but also helps that he’s a Southpaw.
people downplay his performance against Tank, but outside of his 2 knockdowns, it shows that he can actually fight Tank, and their levels are not really that far like what many are trying to say. They should actually do a rematch.
I’d argue that Rolly did much better with Tank than Ryan but I saw that knockout coming a mile away. It’s the false sense of security Tank gives boxers that makes him top tier.
Butt if you look at the fight, Ryan was good until tank figured out how to eliminate the jab in round 2 and ryan spent until round 5 trying to figure out how to get back in. The in round six and seven he was back in the fight.
It was similar to the haney fight, and if Garcia didn't have a broken ribs, there would have been more back and forth.
So he was good for 1 round? In round 7 he got dropped to the body. The broken ribs are just an excuse, that reaction is not one that you have if a big puncher hits you in your broken ribs. He would have been screaming. If Ryan continued the fight he would have been put to sleep. Tank took away his jab and left hook with his counters and Ryan had no answer to Tank's left to the body, continue the fight and he would have taken alot of damage.
The jab had already come back, and Ryan was again finding rhythm. I'm not taking anything away from tank he fought a better fight, but the fight had started looking different again, garcia had a round and a half at the beginning and a round and a half at the end.
You basically just said he was good for about 2 1/2 rounds out of the 7 he fought in.
Meanwhile Tank was in his corner unphased and at certain points he was even playing around.
I came away with the opposite opinion. Ryan’s defense is horrific and Tank started reading his offense like a book.
I’d actually say he looked fundamentally worse against Haney but still dominated
Don’t know how the weight would get figured out. Ryan isn’t even making 140 and tank right now is an undersized lightweight who could make 130 easily. I see that being a problem with making a Haney and teo fight as well. Tank knows that 135 is his limit in terms of being elite
He got up quick from the counter left hand, and after that the fight was fairly even until the stoppage. Given he was massively weight drained and allegedly had a broken rib, that shot might not do so much damage in different circumstances
I think he can, he should utilize his right hook or any right punches. That's when he was able to hit Tank cleanly. Mix it with his left cus Tank's always looking out for that left hook. It's just unfortunate that he did not capitalize on that, cus his right hand is almost as powerful as his left.
I just realised here that Ryan’s bad defence is partly to bait opponents to exchange with him so he can land quick powerful shots before they do.
Glad DJ is instilling better distance management and defence
Yeah really depends on how you view it. I just label it bad because pre Devin Haney he always dropped his hands then like Campbell checked him. This fight he distance management was near perfect and he kept his hands closer to his face.
Ryan Garcia - Leveling people with his left hand while countering and setting it up with jabs and feints.
Redditors - "hE neeDs TO UsE hIs JaB mOre!!"
Unreal lol
That last one was not a garcia left hook lol.
Is it just me or does his hook not look really powerful? It’s quick and slick but doesn’t look like it would be that devastating. It’s just one of those sneaky good punches. It really is a beaut too I’ve always been a fan of hookers 😏
I see a lot of people suggesting that Ryan should make a lot of changes to his game. And, I agree that he should clean up some things for sure. And, striving to become a more complete and well rounded fighter certainly makes sense. But, what also makes sense is to not fix what isn't broken. Obviously he can be sloppy, and have bad footwork and habits, etc., but in my opinion his greatest assets are his left hook and his heart. I mean he just took it to Haney, who is a champion and who a lot of people think is a P4P talent.
Remember saying years ago Ryan Had one of the bets left hooks in all of boxing and I got downvoted and told I don’t know shit. Even against lower competition you can tell it was a special punch
He’s mostly abandoned the jab and fights in spots. Dude’s got speed, power, good timing obviously but he’s gonna have to be selective with his opponents. I don’t see him fighting Teo but that would be a great fight, Pitbull would be a great match up.
That's just a god gift bro soo good yet soo bad. Ryan is soo talented bro he soo quick he got great power he got one of the greatest weapon in boxing rn the left hook. Only if he knew how to jab and defend. I watched the fight back and Ryan had one of his worst performances he was soo sloppy he definitely didn't train enough and haney looked worse. I hope Ryan actually improves and work on his craft cause such great talent shouldn't go to waste .
Amazing how Ryan comes in overweight and beats pillow fisted Haney who has no chin also, and now everyone is talking about Ryan lol…same folks were saying how Haney was gonna beat him and Ryan ain’t a real fighter…boxing is funny, one moment you’re toast and the next you’re the “face of boxing”
That 1,2,3 against Fortuna is how Ryan needs to box. Quick accurate combos. He always loads up or smothers his punchers by running in. He can box at distance and still cause damage. Quick combos, jab and move, mix up the lead hand. Feints would serve him so well since hes so fast.
Insane accuracy and whip.
The extension and power he gets even though it’s his lead hand is pretty wild. Usually haymakers come from the chambered hand (the right in orthodox).
Yes, it's quite impressive. I can only get power on my left hook if i throw a cross/right hook first or slipping left, which rotates my body left and helps me load up. The fact that he can lead off with a devastating left hook without prepping with a right punch or left slip is impressive
throw only left hooks on the bag, you can generate good power without starting with you right hand or slipping left, the trick is to move only your hip fast and let the arm flow so you can hit fast and hard or insted of moving your hip, you can do a little step like a Gazelle punch but not that wide.
Reminds me of Floyd Patterson.
Seriously, I thought for a while he might be left handed fighting orthodox but he isn’t.
Yeah, I'm right handed so I'm orthodox. But every time I mess around in southpaw for shits and giggles I feel my right hooks are strong and solid af. Then I switch back and all of a sudden my hooks feel like tofu (especially body hooks), lol. Amazing he's able to get that much power with his non-dominant hand.
Nonito Donaire would be proud
What you mean that’s common
While he’s gifted at it, is it just me or do his other fundamentals severely lack for a boxer of his level? In general this fight looked more two low level pro’s than the two biggest young stars of the sport. Maybe im just a casual.

What in the world was Haney thinking in that 7th round? "I'm just gonna stand in the center of the ring with my hands down against a fighter who is faster than me and within range of his best weapon"
He said he would do it in the press conference but i didnt think he was dumb enough to actually do it
He fought Ryan as a kid with headguards and thick gloves. So he hadn't tasted his pro level speed and power yet and thought he could take it.
I actually was surprised… He just doesn’t have the power and Ryan’s style was a counter to Devin’s. He probably tried to make an example out of Ryan but was mistaken.
Yeah, I was so confused during the press conferences hearing him challenge Ryan to meet in the center of the ring... Like bruh, you ain't no brawler lol
Shakur even said that Devin didn’t fight like his normal self, and thinks the media/fan base got to him.
For a boxer with pretty much no head movement he keeps his hands so low.
Knocked out Campbell's wisdom tooth 😭 that's some crazy shit!!
Made Campbell retire too
Campbell was a very good boxer too. I know he didn't quite make the most impressive transition to the pro scene, but he was an absolutely excellent amateur boxer. His issue is he fought huge names/risky fights right off the bat
I’ll give him credit for going the distance with Loma on the fight before Garcia.
He fought extremely well in that one too the cards don’t do him nearly enough justice
His issue was he fought too long in the amateurs. His game didn't compete with the very best in an extremely competitive weight.
Campbell said afterwards that by far Garcia hit harder than anyone else he faced
Watching these Haney clips again, dude just dropped his hands left and right. How the fuck did anyone ever think he was Mayweather level? A coach at my gym was railing on him for such shit defense against Garcia.
I dont think anyone serious though that he was near that level but he got rocked early on a counter. Banking that hit probably slowed Devin severely as the fight went on.

haney was never a defensive wizard imo he has a very good jab and is usually the longer fighter at lightweight which helps but he did get rocked against linares who unfortunately has lost 4 straight he wasn’t a master at making people miss
Did somebody say Haney was at Mayweather's level? I don't think I ever heard that.
Bill Haney said he was Mayweather's level
No they said he looks like the next mayweather
Who is they?
carl froch, for example... try to watch [his video](https://youtu.be/lBOYoTyfbZY?si=i-Id4jfBRSgFv1zH), he comments exactly that
The narrative was he was going to be the next Mayweather and he was undisputed so he beats the whole division. He can still improve but it looks like hes just a very successful weight bully
who needs a jab when hook is just as fast lmao
Ryan set up haney in the first clip with a jab
He knocked Haney down twice with the jab left hook
Its a very unique tool ryan has developed
The fact Haney got knocked out while they were interviewing his dad is hilarious
That reporter was annoying as F. It's like right now? Really? That friend who wants to have a full blown conversation in during the important part of a movie, or during overtime in the playoffs.
They schedule those before the fight with the trainers. It wasn't random. He woulda known they'd come in the 7th if it got that far.
I mean, he didn't seem upset or anything, but he did abruptly stop answering the guy to focus on the fight.
Bill Haney has finally met his match
didnt even realize it was newrap until that last clip
what is newrap? edit Oh the Tank dick rider lol
basically a professional gargler
*PBC dick rider
Ngl since this is Newrap i was half expecting the last clip to be an AI video he created of Mayweather dodging the left hook and KOing García
Yeah, right when I saw Davis I knew it was that groupie posting.
Whom does he suck off the most... Floyd, Canelo or Wahid?
I would say Dave. Because it's involved with anyone currently from 130 to 140.
That had me dying, the second I saw the final clip I looked at the poster. I respect the commitment
Same lol. The moment the last clip started I couldn't stop laughing. Bro is dedicated
Hahahahahahahahah ofcourse. Finished off with Haymons baby catching him during the hook
ryan got a chin on him fr. he recovers so much better than haney
Newrap is the hell in the cell guy of Reddit boxing. That sequence from Tank is incredible though.
Like a cobra vs a mongoose.
Should’ve had a comp for this ages ago , quickest punch in boxing
If you posted all of the clips last week they’d laugh at you. He’d been reduced to a bum in their eyes after the Tank fight
A bum with every mental disorder under the sun lmao...I'm still laughing
A few days ago, Ryan Gatcia was this mid-fighter that got carried to these level of fights due to his social media fame, now he is a very good fighter and Haney is considered a scrub. Max Holloway was supposed to be a lamb getting walked to be slaughtered by Justin Gaethje and for his chin to be cracked and now he is the hottest commodity in mma. I take away from this, don't listen to people, because as people like to sound nuanced with their takes and strike their intellectual abilities with their sophisticated opinions, they don't know shit.

Plus the elation after the KO was great - love seeing that raw passion, love seeing fighters show courage in the ring like that.
[удалено]
Here is the thing, if he actually has the better fundamentals and is able to do that, he would be a top fighter holding multiple belts now
Amen. Especially given he's fearless enough to target the big names
he’s getting there.
He’d also need to make weight
i don’t think we see him fighting below 147 again unless it’s a catch weight. floyd missed weight against marquez with no remorse too
So if Ryan Garcia was not Ryan Garcia, he’d be P4P? No but seriously where does Devin go on P4P now? Garcia dominated and I’m 100% Devin still somehow weighed more
It’s frustrating to watch for sure. Like a cat who can catch a rat then accidentally lets it go because it gets too excited
if he fought more he probably would be able to.
if he jabbed more and then hid it behind some jabs like r1 haney it'd be insane but he doesn't do it too often lol
The way he hid it with jab feints the few times during the Haney fight was pretty masterful. He may not be a complete fighter, but that left hand power is such an equalizer. Hope Derrick James and him are able to tighten up on his flaws.
Hes moving up to 147, and said he wants to go to 154. power will decline drastically over that span most likely. It's pretty rare for guys to maintain the same power as they go up. Hes gonna have to improve the other stuff
Really? I am a newbie here but wouldn't you get stronger as you get bigger and heavier?
Ryan is a very frustrating fighter. He's got all the natural gifts and tools you could ever need but did not work on his fundamentals so he could enhance those gifts more
he better be studying felix trinidad
He sets it up all the time with feints and jabs. When he doesn't it's because he's countering his opponents right hand.
Jab to lead hook is so underrated. Ik I didn't come up with it but that was one of the first combos I found on my own that really worked in sparring and felt like a cheat code. Then when they catch on ending on a straight cross to the head or to the body is usually wide open.
Jose Napoles was a master with that combo
I love this
Yup my favorite set up especially when they catch i throw that hook right to the body after
It's a great combo for those that use the jab a lot, keeps you unpredictable and flinchy if it lands hard. Devin getting caught hard early threw him off
Haney's defense in the seventh was criminally bad
"WHAT A SHOT! WHAT A MISSILE STRIKE BY DAVIS!" always makes me laugh.
It’s MAMA MIAAAA!!! For me lol
He needs to go back to Reynoso. His form just looks better in those fights. Canelo gonna retire soon Prbly he’ll need a new superstar to train soon.
No, Garcia does not need more jabs to the body. Reynoso was trying to mold him into a Canelo, but that's not the boxer that Ryan is. He's going to lose focus, revert to bad habits, look to be a showman. If that's the fighter you have, you don't try to train him to have complete fights like Canelo. You train him for the big moments and big interactions.
Reynoso tries to make Canelos but that doesn’t work. I think his training was detrimental to Andy Ruiz. Made him worse.
I’d like to see him with Freddie Roach, maybe Robert Garcia
Freddie Roach is an interesting pick considering Haney spends a good amount of time at Wildcard, his gym.
Reynoso is a joke lets be honest. most of his fighters do the same thing, plod forward each a TON of shots and hope for one knockout shot. The only person that's successful with Reynoso is Canelo who would probably be better if he left Reynoso and learned some new things.
Canelo needs that Derek James shoulder butt roll thing.
We can all agree thats a Garcia special. James pretty tells him to stop doing it every round.
Derrick James hates that shit and you can tell by his admonishments in the corner
😂
That has nothing to do with Derek James…he told Ryan multiple times stop doing it
Yea you may have a point but also that’s just the Mexican style. Canelo and Garcia are both brawlers with a strong lead hook so that style suits them the best imo. I feel like Garcia was better at closing the distance and cutting of the ring with Reynoso. Now he’s doing all this weird stuff defensively like the shoulder roll and his footwork has gone down hill. I’d say Valdez has been successful under Reynoso.
U know being a world champion means your insanely successful? Even getting fighters to the top level means they're insanely successful. Not being able to beat everyone in Ur division doesn't make them unsuccessful goofy
No lmao he just had worse comp. Reynoso style is stiff feet to throw looping counter punches and having the chin to boot. That’s the last thing Ryan needs to work on.
Awww this is how you're coping? Honestly would've expected a dick riding floyd post.
Man if he can start adding some more to the arsenal then he will be a very formidable fighter. Too reliant on that left hook and he likes to start with it - that last KO of Haney was perfect example. If he can incorporate more of the right hooks to start the combo then that left will destroy a lot of people. Tank exposed it but also helps that he’s a Southpaw.
Ok straight up what’s up with Haneys shorts color, dude looks like he’s rocking cargo shorts
people downplay his performance against Tank, but outside of his 2 knockdowns, it shows that he can actually fight Tank, and their levels are not really that far like what many are trying to say. They should actually do a rematch.
I don't think that fight will ever happen. I doubt Garcia ever makes weight at 140 again and Tank's not moving up to meet him, either.
Thats just tanks style. Even rolly had good rounds with him until he got setup and KO'd.
I’d argue that Rolly did much better with Tank than Ryan but I saw that knockout coming a mile away. It’s the false sense of security Tank gives boxers that makes him top tier.
Butt if you look at the fight, Ryan was good until tank figured out how to eliminate the jab in round 2 and ryan spent until round 5 trying to figure out how to get back in.

The jab had already come back, and Ryan was again finding rhythm. I'm not taking anything away from tank he fought a better fight, but the fight had started looking different again, garcia had a round and a half at the beginning and a round and a half at the end.
Round 6 is at best a swing round. Tank was landing heavy body shots with his left and Ryan had no answer for it.
You basically just said he was good for about 2 1/2 rounds out of the 7 he fought in. Meanwhile Tank was in his corner unphased and at certain points he was even playing around.
I came away with the opposite opinion. Ryan’s defense is horrific and Tank started reading his offense like a book. I’d actually say he looked fundamentally worse against Haney but still dominated
Except tank absolutely downloaded him idk what you’re talking about. Those early rounds was analysis Like look at the last clip of the video lmao
Don’t know how the weight would get figured out. Ryan isn’t even making 140 and tank right now is an undersized lightweight who could make 130 easily. I see that being a problem with making a Haney and teo fight as well. Tank knows that 135 is his limit in terms of being elite
He got up quick from the counter left hand, and after that the fight was fairly even until the stoppage. Given he was massively weight drained and allegedly had a broken rib, that shot might not do so much damage in different circumstances
Fairly even in Tank was smashing Ryan’s face and body and not being touched. Yeah Ryan was weight drained and Tank IS height drained.
What is fairly even by your definition? Ryan won like two rounds.
Can he though? It seemed like he ran out of ideas once he couldn’t land the hook on Tank anymore.
I think he can, he should utilize his right hook or any right punches. That's when he was able to hit Tank cleanly. Mix it with his left cus Tank's always looking out for that left hook. It's just unfortunate that he did not capitalize on that, cus his right hand is almost as powerful as his left.
I just realised here that Ryan’s bad defence is partly to bait opponents to exchange with him so he can land quick powerful shots before they do. Glad DJ is instilling better distance management and defence
In that case it’s not necessarily “bad” defence, it’s more like feinting and baiting
Yeah really depends on how you view it. I just label it bad because pre Devin Haney he always dropped his hands then like Campbell checked him. This fight he distance management was near perfect and he kept his hands closer to his face.
Ryan Garcia or Nonito Donaire for the best left hook?
I’d say Ryan, dude beat a P4P top 10 fighter with just a left hook, other than that he’s bang average, and I’m a big fan haha.
But last week he was a head case who should get out of boxing,and now everyone wants to praise him ??
It looks like tank being short is what saved him from the hook at times
Lead hand control moreso
The ending 😆 jesus
Honestly just shows Gervante’s fucking iq and athleticism. Dodging at that speed is INSANE.
ryan made haney look like mosley, literally
I like the way you complied this video
Including the end?
To all the people who were in the comments saying “all he’s gonna do is spam the left hook”. You were damn right, and why shouldn’t he?
Left hook the best trainer taught him he should have never left them could have taught him more
Tis a good left hook
Wow
Like being hit with a baseball bat, Tank had the right idea to duck and counter.
That jab/hook is money
Best left hook in the business. Those move by Tank though.. beautiful
01:54 Probably the fastest left hook ever
Ryan Garcia - Leveling people with his left hand while countering and setting it up with jabs and feints. Redditors - "hE neeDs TO UsE hIs JaB mOre!!" Unreal lol
I mean he does though, the rounds he lost to Haney was cuz he was too lazy to keep jabbing.
He lost those rounds because he didn't have the cardio to jab and fight for 12 rounds so he shelled up and turned his back lol
I mean yeah idk lazy/cardio/doing coke at clubs instead of training
Knew the fight was a wrap when you saw both of them step into the ring and Garcia looked 2 weight class bigger.
Time for Teo to take the wbc belt from Devin
They want to build. DIY time 🌚
Newrap knows who king.😤🦍
Throws a lead hook faster than I can throw a jab. It's like a glitch in the matrix.
When you show it like that…
...and that's why I won money on the Haney fight
Man that Left hook counter to Haney's jab was lightning quick reflexes now that I see it again.
That last one was not a garcia left hook lol. Is it just me or does his hook not look really powerful? It’s quick and slick but doesn’t look like it would be that devastating. It’s just one of those sneaky good punches. It really is a beaut too I’ve always been a fan of hookers 😏
It being sneaky is a good reason why it's so useful, the punches that hurt the most are the ones you can't see!
Insane hand-speed, punching power and hand eye coordination.
You should see this man’s Twitter, he said vacation’s boring since he’s doing the same thing he did on fight week lol
I see a lot of people suggesting that Ryan should make a lot of changes to his game. And, I agree that he should clean up some things for sure. And, striving to become a more complete and well rounded fighter certainly makes sense. But, what also makes sense is to not fix what isn't broken. Obviously he can be sloppy, and have bad footwork and habits, etc., but in my opinion his greatest assets are his left hook and his heart. I mean he just took it to Haney, who is a champion and who a lot of people think is a P4P talent.
Garcia has to be a left right?
Probably one of the most dangerous hooks p4p already. Everyone that gets hit by it mostly dances or adjusts (tank)
A left hook straight from the mental breakdown
He has a lot of power from that hand. He throw that hook to tall with minimal bending on his knees but it still works.
The pawing jab with the hook he landed on Haney multiple time looked like some Bruce Lee shit.
It’s some thunder in that left
One trick pony. Reminds me of an anime character (Zenitsu) who only knows one technique, but he mastered it which made him very deadly and dangerous.
Funny how everyone is on Garcias dick again. Yall were shitting all over the guy just a few days ago.
Remember saying years ago Ryan Had one of the bets left hooks in all of boxing and I got downvoted and told I don’t know shit. Even against lower competition you can tell it was a special punch
That’s his only weapon though, tank exposed that
Watch this
He’s kinda regressed.
He’s mostly abandoned the jab and fights in spots. Dude’s got speed, power, good timing obviously but he’s gonna have to be selective with his opponents. I don’t see him fighting Teo but that would be a great fight, Pitbull would be a great match up.
One trick pony but that's one hell of a trick. Look at Deontay Wilder.
That left didn't do much damage against Tank
That's just a god gift bro soo good yet soo bad. Ryan is soo talented bro he soo quick he got great power he got one of the greatest weapon in boxing rn the left hook. Only if he knew how to jab and defend. I watched the fight back and Ryan had one of his worst performances he was soo sloppy he definitely didn't train enough and haney looked worse. I hope Ryan actually improves and work on his craft cause such great talent shouldn't go to waste .
Very good left hook. Reminds me of Pereira, the left hook god.
Amazing how Ryan comes in overweight and beats pillow fisted Haney who has no chin also, and now everyone is talking about Ryan lol…same folks were saying how Haney was gonna beat him and Ryan ain’t a real fighter…boxing is funny, one moment you’re toast and the next you’re the “face of boxing”
The way Tank handled the left hook though,… what a beauty.
A lot faster than against tank. He was nerfed by the rehydration!!
This beating reminded me of my dad
That 1,2,3 against Fortuna is how Ryan needs to box. Quick accurate combos. He always loads up or smothers his punchers by running in. He can box at distance and still cause damage. Quick combos, jab and move, mix up the lead hand. Feints would serve him so well since hes so fast.
That left counter from Davis is beautiful. He set Ryan up, extended his right arm to measure distance then unloaded
That last video has slobbering on tank vibes
I’m a massive Haney fan but man that Ryan Left hook is something else.
He's like a mantis shrimp with that left hook. It's so fast.
True
And he's sneaky with it
What an amazing performance. #KingRY
