Haney vs Garcia Boxing Predictions
Call me crazy but “King RY” isn’t a nut he’s just pretending to be one to get inside Haney’s bloated head. Garcia looks physically strong coming in 3 lbs. over the limit while Haney looks gaunt and weight drained.
Amateurs or not Ryan has seen all of Haney’s moves enough to take advantage of his flaws. In a bout that comes down to Garcia’s lethal left hook vs Haney’s sharp jab the hook is going to win.
Garcia might not be in tip top shape so he is likely to pick his spots and fight in spurts life looking to drop the hammer on Haney’s suspect chin.
Call me crazy but a solid 3 unit wager on the bigger, stronger and faster Garcia is in order for a huge payout. Just in case Garcia does go off the rails place a 0.5 unit hedge bet on Haney via DQ at +5000.
