Oscar De La Hoya criticized manager Bill Haney on this week’s episode of Clapback Thursday, saying he ruined his son Devin Haney’s career by forcing him to sue Ryan Garcia for assault after their loss last April in Brooklyn, New York. .
Oscar: Fire your father, Devin!
De La Hoya says Devin needs to take control of his life and “fire” Bill. He believes he has ruined what was once a promising career for the former two-division world champion with his decision-making.
Oscar says the lawsuit and Devin’s decision to remain inactive for an entire year have made his defeat much worse. Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) could have already recovered from that loss if he had returned to the ring instead of sitting back and worrying about his loss.
According to De La Hoya, Haney must win his fight against Jose Ramirez on May 2 to get a rematch against Ryan in October.
If that’s true, there will be a lot of pressure on Devin when he faces former WBC and WBO 140-pound champion Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOs) in their co-feature fight on the Ryan Garcia vs. Roland. ‘Rolly’ Romero in Times Square in New York City.
“I feel sorry for Devin Haney because you almost never hear him talk because his dad is the only one who talks,” Oscar De La Hoya said during this week’s conference. clapperboard thursday. “Sure, Devin had a bad loss this year, but it shouldn’t have ended his career. It could have been easily fixed.
“If it weren’t for his father and his manager, Bill, who single-handedly turned the situation into a situation more toxic than Chernobyl. I have never in my life seen a major failure in a boxer’s career. All Devin had to do after losing to Ryan Garcia last April was say, “He beat me.” I couldn’t block his left hook’ and then go back to the gym.
“Instead of focusing on a comeback fight in 2024 and teaching his son to block the left hook, Bill thought it was a better idea for Devin to sue Ryan for assault and emotional distress, sue Golden Boy, sue the New York Athletic Commission. erase Devin’s loss from his record, fight a civilian at the Orange Country State Fair, take the rest of the year off, and make as many enemies as possible. They have cemented their legacy as the biggest crybabies in boxing history.
“Now, last week, Bill and Devin were in London, begging Turki for a payday because they have no other options. The only value Devin has in this sport is fighting Ryan Garcia again. Then Bill, being the pimp that he is, attacked his son again with the wrestler hitting his butt so hard that he had to sue him for assault. I couldn’t make this shit up, folks.
“The (García-Haney) rematch will take place in October, but under one condition. The Haneys need to drop their bullshit lawsuit against Ryan Garcia and Golden Boy. Of course, the Haneys are willing to leave him because they had no case. I’ve never heard of a wrestler suing another for assault, and I’m sure we’ll never see that again unless Devin sues his next opponent.
Revenge at stake: Haney vs Ramírez
“Anyway, accepting the rematch is a pretty risky move because if Devin loses to Ryan again, we can all say goodbye to the Haneys. For Devin to make that fight, he has to overcome a tough and hungry Jose Ramirez in May. Be careful, José. If you hit him too hard, he may sue you next.
“Devin Haney, from one fighter to another, you have to take control of your life and your career and fire your father. Everyone in boxing stood by and watched what happened this year, a year when you were supposed to shine. Now you’re a knockout. Everyone sees that he is the problem. He (Bill) didn’t even stop the fight with Ryan Garcia when your jaw was broken and you were on the canvas.
“I hope you can come to your senses and decide to save yourself and separate yourself from your current manager before it is too late. Unfortunately, it may already be,” De La Hoya said.
