Being more appreciated than Ryan Garcia before the upper radio, but Devin Haney suddenly received a failure. He led the opponent with a relatively safe distance after the first 9 rounds. However, the sagging in the last 3 rounds, especially for the opponent to punch the 10th and 11th half, caused Haney to lose.
Before the match against Garcia, Haney was holding the WBC Championship Super Lightweight. According to the professional boxing, Haney will lose the belt if he lost. The previous information also said that the WBC championship will leave if Garcia is too weight, and Haney will receive defeat in the competition.
However, in the announcement of Mauricio Sulaiman, the President of the WBC, Haney will still be kept. He wrote: “We would like to congratulate Ryan Garcia, who overcame many difficulties and won a big match. We also congratulated Haney for showing class and courage.”
“Like the match between Corrales and Castillo for the second time, where the challenge did not reach the permitted weight level, Haney still kept the championship,” Sulaiman said. It also means that this belt will not be empty, and Haney is still recognized as a legal champion.
Earlier, Ryan Garcia lost his belt status when he was over 1.5kg in the weight test before the match. Each weighing class in the professional boxing usually only differ from 2.5-3kg, so the overseas 1.5kg as Garcia is a particularly serious violation.
