April of 2024 Ryan Garcia missed weight in his scheduled championship bout against Devin Haney. Despite missing weight Haney agreed to keep the fight going with accepting to pay $500,000 for every pound that he was over the 140 pound limit which he was 3 pounds over. Due to Garcia missing weight, the belts were not on the line.
What happened during their fight shocked the boxing world as Garcia dropped Haney multiple times. To Haney’s credit, he got up every time. But Garcia dominated and put on what we thought was a career defining performance. Winning a unanimous decision against Haney.
