Haney: “Remembering faces” after losing García

Devin Haney posted on Instagram today, telling his followers that he is “working quietly” and “remembering faces” of his “skeptics.” This bitter message indicates that Haney has been warming over his loss to Ryan Garcia and wants to show people how wrong they were about him.

The humiliating defeat must be hard to swallow for former two-division world champion Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) because he is replaying the memory inside his head of the three times he was knocked down by Kingry’s left hook on the 20th. April at the Barclays Center. in Brooklyn, New York.

It’s gotta be like a grainy old movie in Devin’s head, and he probably wishes he’d done things differently. Haney’s isolating behavior is a classic example of the shame response of someone who failed. It could help Haney if he could come back stronger, having improved and ready to avenge his loss.

“Working in silence…remembering faces and names of every skeptic and detractor! @justtrain
#TheDream,” said Devin Haney in instagram.

blame game

“Absolutely. No matter what happens, he doesn’t give up like Ryan gave up against Tank Davis. That’s why he’s known as a quitter,” Bill Haney told the Dance Projectt, talking about Devin not giving up during his fight against Ryan Garcia. “Devin is a warrior.

“It was a combination of Devin not being Devin and him trying to be what the fans wanted to see,” Bill said of why Haney lost to Garcia. “Until then they said that he had no heart and that he would not stand in the middle of the ring.

“He (Haney) was in the middle of the ring with someone we didn’t take into account Ostarine. We didn’t take into account that he was going to be much stronger. One thing about Ostarine is that it helps in recovery. Helps in strength and power. All those things,” Bill said about why Devin lost to Kingry.

The reason Devin lost the fight was not because he was standing in the “middle of the ring” against Garcia. Where Haney lost the fight was his habit of non-stop clinching, which put him in the line of fire for Ryan’s short left hook.

That was where Devin was having drinks. He was reaching or backing up with his close, and that made it easier for Kingry to catch with the short left hook he likes to throw. If Devin’s training team knew what they were doing, they would have warned him not to last that long because that style was tailor-made for Garcia.

Holding on may have worked for Haney in his fights against George Kambosos Jr, Regis Prograis and Jorge Linares, but using that same strategy against Garcia was foolish. That’s why he lost. How can Bill not know that?

Lost time

“It was a great injustice done to a wonderful guy who did nothing but good business. The fans are the ones who buy the PPVs. You want to please them. Devin wants to please his games to go out and fight like that. It wasn’t a winning game plan, but I can still back my guy 1000% because he went into battle. He walked in there like a warrior. He came out and I couldn’t be prouder of him,” Bill said of Devin.

What’s concerning is how long Haney has been out of the ring since his loss to Ryan. All this energy put into the lawsuit may not be worth it for Haney, who is losing time in his career, and it may not be worth it in the end. It’s unclear if it’s Bill who is pushing the process, but it’s not good for Devin if he wastes a year of his career waiting for the lawsuit to be completed.
