Ryan García says he will fight Teofimo López when he returns to the ring this year after his suspension expires. That agrees with what García’s promoter, Óscar De La Hoya, says.
Garcia keeps going
Oscar said there’s no point in Ryan fighting Devin Haney again because he already “destroyed” him. He says the fight he wants for Garcia is WBO light welterweight champion Teofimo (21-1, 13 KOs), who has no opponent after deciding not to defend against Subriel Matias.
Teofimo’s career has stalled since his loss to George Kambosos Jr. in 2021. Although he captured the WBO 140-pound title from a washed-up Josh Taylor in 2023, he looked terrible in fights against Steve Claggett, Jamaine Ortiz and Sandor Martin. .
It’s obvious that Top Rank guessed wrong with Teofimo and should have fired him after his loss to Kambosos instead of giving him an extension. He hasn’t shown any improvement since that loss.
Garcia claims he would “take down” Haney, but would have to drop the lawsuit he has against him. Haney has not said whether he will do so, but his recent comments suggest he will not. Unfortunately, that leaves him broke, but he still has Turki Al-Shiekh. He still believes in him and will help him this year.
If Devin loses once or twice this year, Turki will notice and probably give up. You will realize that it is not worth propping it up artificially with time and money. It would be better for Turki to give up on Haney sooner rather than later because he is a lost cause.
“I will yell at his ass” – García
“I will be prepared for whatever happens. It looks like I’m going to fight Teófimo López. So that’s good. I saw him today. “It’s a little weird, but other than that, I’m ready to kick his ass,” Ryan Garcia told Exit seconds about him fighting Teófimo López next.
“I don’t know. You have to wait and see,” Ryan said when asked about his fight with Teofimo. “But after I fight him, I will be the first to fight the three so-called ‘Four Kings.’ I’m the only one of them. who fought against all of them. Tank, Devin and Teófimo López.
“I’m here arguing with everyone. It seems like everyone is scared or whatever is going on here.
“Not for me,” Ryan said when asked if it’s important to fight Devin Haney again so he can be vindicated because his win was tainted and taken away from him by the New York State Athletic Commission due to his testing. positive drugs. “Fighting Teófimo López would be as satisfying as having a rematch with Devin.”
Ryan would get a lot more credit for beating Teofimo than Haney at this point, since he’s already taken the breaks off. He was beating Haney all over the ring from the first round.
Few people will give Haney much of a chance in a rematch with Garcia after the way he pummeled him last April.
The boxing public would be very interested in a fight between García and Teofimo because the two had never fought before. The WBO 140-pound belt would be on the line and Teofimo can do his part to help promote the fight. In Devin’s case, he relies on his father, Bill, to do much of the work to generate interest. That doesn’t work so well.
“Again, I’m not saying I wouldn’t do it. “I would fight him (Haney) again, but they have to stop all this nonsense (drop the lawsuit) before I even get in there,” Garcia said.
It doesn’t appear that Haney and Bill plan to drop the lawsuit. They seem to be entrenched and will probably fight to the end in their suit, although doing so would be shooting themselves in the foot.
