“I wonder why Devin is scared to unify against rollies??? I don’t get it,” Garcia posted on X.
“Devin I’ll fight you in July! Stop saying drug testing, dumbass POKE ME YOURSELF.”
Ryan is playing a high-level game of musical chairs, and he’s trying to pull the seat out from under Haney. By pushing for July, he isn’t just looking for a fight, but looking to blow up the Haney-Romero unification entirely.
Ryan knows that Haney and Rolly have been in “serious conversations” for a May 30 date at Barclays. By jumping on X and calling Haney “scared” to unify, Ryan is taking advantage of the fact that the deal isn’t signed yet.
He is effectively telling the fans and the networks that Haney is wasting time on a “difficult” negotiation with Rolly when a “mega-fight” is sitting right there for July. It puts Haney in a position where if the Rolly fight falls through, it looks like he’s retreating, not just failing to close a deal.
Ryan is sitting on a massive high after taking that WBC belt from Mario Barrios in February. He has the momentum that Devin lacks right now. Haney hasn’t fought since beating Brian Norman Jr. in November, and the longer he waits to finalize Rolly, the more the “paper champion” talk starts to shift toward him. Ryan is trying to force Haney into a summer window that might be too short for a full, proper camp, especially if Haney was peaking for a May date that is now sliding.
It’s a classic power play: Ryan is acting like the A-side because, in terms of social media engagement and recent activity, he currently is.
Only one to break Devin haneys jaw
