Bradley appeals to Haney: “Get Mind Right” amid PTSD talks to Garcia loss

Tim Bradley says Devin Haney “got his mind right” because he couldn’t continue to act as he showed in his last battle against Jose Ramirez. Bradley wants Haney (32-0, 15 food) to his spiritual issues, which he sees as a form of PTSV of combat service, and return to the fighter he once was before Ryan Garcia stepped him a year ago.

Haney’s mental state

Bradley has no useful advice for Devin to return to his former self because he never had a wonderful chin. He can’t punch, and his chances of competing with the killers at 147, such as Jaron Ennis and Brian Norman Jr., are slim and none. Unfortunately, Haney is too big to return to 140 and 135 to be a weight bullying.

‘This form of Devin is not difficult to beat. This form of Devin is easy. Spiritually, the way he carried in his last fight. I know how you beat Devin. You walk to him, ‘said Tim Bradley Fighting type. “Whatever you want to say about his last performance, if you want to call the box, you can watch the s ***. I don’t look at it. ‘

Bradley’s advice will not help. Haney can’t become the daring, endearing fighter who wants him to be, because the beat he took against Ryan Garcia took something out of him. He does not want to put himself on the front lines again after the sustained carpet bombing he took from Kingry.

What remains of the fight-or-flight behavior we saw from Haney against Jose Ramirez, in which he looked like he was experiencing flashbacks. It must have been an easy battle for Devin, but he looked wild and had to do with fear. It is difficult for Bradley to understand Haney’s behavior, because it is strange to the way he responded to losses in his career.

Tim calls out Haney’s boring style

“I don’t want to watch a Haney fight. I’m actually trying to help you, Big Dog. I’m trying to keep it 100 to let you know it’s not boxing,” Bradley said. ‘Two and a half minutes of you around the ring like this (circular motion). You should have seen your eyes. Your eyes were like Coke bottles. ‘

Turki Alalshikh is still interested in Haney on his Riyadh season cards. So, regardless of how little interest Bradley and his fans have to look at his boring battles, he will still be placed on PPV cards on Dazn. He missed the Theofimo Lopez fight, which was one of the few options he had for a big payday.

The only other viable options for Devin at 147 to make money are against these fighters:

– Manny Pacquiao
– Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero
– Conor Benn
– Mario Barrios

Turki is not going to Haney against Jaron Ennis or Brian Norman jr. Devin can’t take bumps from those fighters and holds more than two rounds. He is likely to lose against other contenders, such as Karen Chukhadzhian and Eimantas Stanionis. Those guys are too good for him.

Haney’s Post-Garcia Trauma: Permanent?

“You were as scared as hell. They say, ‘Well, Tim. He has PTSD of Garcia. “You don’t think I had PTSD from Ruslan Provodnikov?

Some fighters and soldiers never recover from PTSD. It remains with them for the rest of their lives, and that may be the case with Haney. What he went through in his fight against Ryan was to fight in battle and take steady fire for 36 minutes. He was shattered by Garcia and was injured half a dozen times in that battle.

It is still too early to know if Devin’s situation is permanent because he had only one fight, but it is not a good sign that after a year he showed out of the ring symptoms to recover from his knock against Garcia.

Some good battles for Haney at 140 would be against these guys:

– Keyshawn Davis
– Richardson Hitchins
