Surprisingly, Ryan Garcia is the king of New York Haney defeated by split decision

The 25-year-old Los Angels idol Ryan Garcia (26-1, 20 KOs) won in the match event of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn in New York with a non-unanimous points decision in twelve rounds over the WBC super lightweight champion Devin ‘The Dream’ Haney (31-1, 15 KOs) in his first career defeat.

It was a match where anything could be expected after Garcia had not made the regulation weight before the fight. Garcia won thanks to his better shot. Already in the first round he rocked Haney with a left hook. Haney recovered by hitting Garcia hard from the second to the sixth round. But “King Ry” in the seventh bout imposed another count on Haney again with a left hook. Same scene starring Garcia in the tenth round and eleventh round.

The scores were 112-112, 114-110, 115-109 in favor of Garcia who does not win titles while the WBC super lightweight belt becomes vacant (TECHNICAL COMMENTARY OF THE MATCH FOLLOWS)
