“I Barely Tried” - Ryan Garcia Reflects on his Fight Against Devin Haney

how different it was to

fight

like you were hit by Devin undefeated, you were hit by, you know, tank, you know what the difference is the way you felt Haney's hit against the tank, well Haney, he actually got me, I mean , javante, it really wasn't. It was a tough

fight

, I was just weak, that's not a tough fight for me. I'll beat Javante Davis worse than Devin Haney Devon Haney is a tougher fight than Dvon and I know you're going to go crazy right here, but at the end of the day, you know I've proven you wrong before you know, at the end End of the day, you guys could take a picture of me of how I look for the tank fight and how I look for the fight with Devin Haney, they knew. what they were doing and um he'll never fight me at 145 so it doesn't really matter and that's why he was trying to text me all nor and uh tweet me oh Ryan I'll give you my real number now come on let's go to him club, you know, I dated Pete Didy and I want to date you as a brother, we like tank, say this, I saw that, yeah, you saw it, did you guys talk after the fight?

Did he call you to congratulate you or not? uh, he

tried

to go out with me, pause, he did, although, actually, yeah, that night, that would have been weird, so he

tried

to leave, so he called like you guys really had a phone call, he was trying to get through, was trying to communicate. through Twitter I understood it so, what do you think is his result of wanting to talk to you? Do you think he wants to fight or not? He's trying to set me up. He's just him, he's just chasing Cloud at that moment, he wanted something. clout you think the tank wants clout no I think he wanted clout at the time because it was such a big moment and I think he doesn't like Devon Haney either I think it was both so who the hell will Devon fight next ?

I understand who you want to fight, we don't know if he will ever be the same again, no, but I mean REM because the belt was on the line, so motherfucker. I'm glad you got back to it. So, Ryan, you have three pounds left, you drink the beer, you lose 1.5 million, you just lost, that was the tactic because you knew you were going to bet and you know what I mean, the 12 million was the victory, yeah. I mean, it was just an investment, wow, it's an investment, one I'm going to be healthy and two, you know, that's going to make things look worse.

I'm drinking a beer on the scale, man, that's crazy after you lost, but no, but me. Let's be honest, we put apple juice and soda water in it, okay, yeah, by the way, everyone, a lot of people, that's not beer, so you know, again, this antics, what's going on with the marketing side, It's very interesting to see that happen, but I. I want to go back to I told you I was going to earn 100 million this year. I told you yes and we had a full vision also of what could happen in the next 5 years and I saw you talk about your vision also below. four, four fights and what's going to happen, but let me ask you now that everyone told you Ryan sleep early Li Ryan don't waste time Ryan wake up early 7:00 Ryan GO train I know what I'm doing I know what I'm doing, I know what what I'm doing and you end up winning, so who the hell are you listening to now?

God, keep listening to God, you know, at the end of the day, you know, I just did what I felt like I needed to. what to do everyone was trying to stop me oh no now he was this crazy guy and then I would sneak out at 3: in the morning and I was just having dinner and just relaxing it was like two days before the fight, the day before the fight . It's like they're looking for me and I'm at dinner, my phone is off and I'm just vibrating, but here's the question, who is he listening to now?

After the fight, Ryan says, "I told you guys, I told you." Guys, trust me, I know what I'm doing, it's that kind of moment, would you say yes, no, because like him, at one point he saw so many amazing things that it's okay, do whatever you want. I don't mind. I could be out all night and then I go for a run at 4 in the morning. I train. I train harder than anyone in this room combined because I don't care. That doesn't say much. We are not competitors. Do you know what I am? Saying that if it doesn't matter, then bring 10 athletes, I will surpass them all.

I guarantee you. I guarantee you know that my energy is incomparable. You can not stop. I could do 100 push-ups right now and I don't even care. I could do 300 and my swollen hand I can still do it, my hand still swollen, you see, yeah, sure, fresh out of the fight and I don't have a scratch on my face and I fought an undefeated pound-for-pound champion, uh. The undisputed champion at 135 went the distance he

barely

went the distance because that referee you know he would knock him out. I said you went, you weren't out of breath, yeah I wasn't out of breath, my jaw was broken, I mean what more do you want, oh you.

I almost have to have revenge again. You said let's do it again because you said so. I did it, but it's not a revenge. They made this guy a clown. I

barely

tried, bro. He was drinking every day on Mondays. He was in a nightclub. Tuesdays. little sister's Wednesdays I went out on Thursday I went out on Friday I was drinking I was doing what I wanted on the day of the fight I drank a blue moon I was relaxing brother so it's a right, so it's the goal now so him because OB there was no belt on the line and I'm intact, look, intact, it's the tank, so his tank was this the springboard, how do you get the tank, what was this?, this was what you wanted to do to get it. the tank, yes, F tank, I want to fight the tank, but Tank is not going to fight me, you don't think he is going to fight you 100% why not, eh, he won't go to 145, where is he now? 135 still, oh okay, what was the first fight?

It was 135 136 136, so it was death because if you put the image next to your tank fighting Hany fighting, there is a there, yes, there I saw that you can put the image. together Rob Ryan Garcia a body against tank versus Haney it's night and day by the way during the fight with tank how much did you weigh fight that fight night I was on the bar like 140 I couldn't win much2 look at that, that's a year apart ? look at how it looks on the right, look at the jaw, look yeah, it looks the same and then what are you okay?

Fight Night left versus right, what's your weight? 140 to the right, what are you on the left? uh 55 160 so 155 well, Tank is not going to reach that weight to fight you, he is not going to go up to 145, no, no, and you, would you go back up to 136 or would you fail, no, why not, just It's not healthy, it's not healthy? and tank tank has fought at 140 before we can meet at 144, I mean simple if he wants to make a lot of money we could do it if not I don't need it I'm making a lot of money anyway I can retire tomorrow.

What were the terms you guys had when you fought T? Because you know all, uh, dehydrating all these claws, that's basically when I gained weight, I lost all that weight and I basically killed myself. I can't gain more than 10 pounds, which is very difficult in itself to not gain more than 10 pounds after cutting so much weight, so it pretty much stopped me from being basically dehydrated in the ring, which means 136 you make weight. , you can't go to 146, who else fought in the pass puts that? the put put that closet there just that's all I would never do that to anyone I don't know there are many out there don't excuse my language that's the worst rule you can give someone because you could kill you could kill Someone like that your brain needs hydration.

F, you know your brain is the last thing to rehydrate, so I hear, but who knows, but 136 to 146, so if you guys go to 14, could you fight him at 144 with the 10 pound watch? Yeah, yeah, I do that, so you're okay with going to 154, yeah, but you don't want to go from 136 to 146 M. Okay, this time, when you weighed in, you were three pounds heavier than you were when you went to the fight. . oh I weighed around 160 so I fought 160 what was the weight when you weighed 145 with you and Haney or what was it? Oh, I was 143 and he was 14, he gained 40, so you weighed 17 pounds, yeah, and that clause.

It wasn't Ed with Haney, no, yeah, because when you stand up, you face Toe to Toe, it just didn't make sense, no, it was very obvious that you were the bigger guy and did you feel like he's usually the bigger guy? big, normally he is the weight? bully, but the heavyweight bully was bullied, so you're saying Haney is a tougher fighter, fight 100, okay, so put it, huh, if Haney fights the tank, who wins? Haney beats the tank. Haney beats the tank if they fight, yes I know boxing is a wild sport, why? Why do you say that in what area does Haney beat him by sheer volume and he only knows how to use his reach?

A good tank will try to hurt him, but I don't think the tank can. The tank won't reach Haney. Haney is definitely going to beat the tank, I know it's a, I know everyone's going to be like oh, Ryan's crazy again, blah blah blah, but if it happens, I've got Haney, okay, then you're not, you're not ready for a rematch with Haney, not until he recovers. We have to know if he's okay because I heard I broke his jaw. He says no, but that jaw looked broken. Can someone pick up his jaw? Anyway, I broke a guy's jaw in sparring, that's why I have that look.

Pretty broken for me, I broke a man's jaw in half, they say it usually breaks on the side, it went down, look at his face, no, the other side, it had to be at least his cheek, something, oh damn , I didn't realize that the right side that's not right don't do it and by the way he gave you credit when he said uh uh what did he say what was a line he used says uh I I um I uh Haney said something at the press conference. from uh in the interview where he said I didn't take him seriously there was something he said that got me he kept sleeping he slept I slept on him yeah, I slept on him and he and you got it and by the way it didn't take long when a fight starts well , so how about the part where you're spinning?

You're doing a little bit like Mayweather, more or less, when you're doing that and the commentators were listening to them say you know Haney should hit that and he's. you feel zero, he's numb. I do that all the time in sparring. I hit myself with bamboo sticks right here, I hit myself right here, so when I get hit I don't feel anything, I mean, oh yeah, no, I mean. pause no didy like i shouldn't have said yes, too natural, yes, yes, facts then, okay, okay, so let's continue this with Haney and the tank, you're saying Haney's prediction if they fight, but in a position like this now the tank has influence over all of you, no, I don't think he has influence over me, person who doesn't believe the tank has influence over you, if I represent a fighter bigger than him, no one knows him Outside of the US, everyone knows me wherever I go.

You know, at the end of the day he needs me. I'm international, he's national, that's it, you know he's big in America but no bigger anywhere else, so I have a lot more followers than him. I have much more commitment. I'm cooler than him. I know how to talk better than him, I just know how to promote him better, better fighter, everything in no way has influence, I could go kiss a good one, I could go kiss a good one, a good one, hey, I'm Ryan Garcia. and I have joined Manet, you can connect with me there.
