“Ryan Destroyed Him” ​​- De La Hoya Shoots Down Garcia-Haney Rematch

Promoter Oscar De La Hoya says he sees no “need” for Ryan Garcia to fight Devin Haney again in a rematch. He states that Garcia already “destroyed” Haney in their fight last year, and there are better fighters for him, like Teofimo Lopez.

Haney moaned

Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) constantly whines about his loss and blames it on Ryan testing positive for the banned substance Ostarine. He uses this as the excuse for his failure in his loss.

If Devin really believes this, it’s odd that he wants a rematch. Why not move on if he thinks Garcia is a “impostor.”

With the way Haney badmouthed Ryan, he should just forget him on principle. This is what Canelo Alvarez would do if he was constantly getting trashed by someone he beat. Kingry should follow suit.

During De La Hoya’s career, he wouldn’t give a fighter a rematch if he beat them as hard as Ryan did with Haney. Oscar would move on and not fight an unnecessary rematch.

Obviously the money Haney would get fighting other guys wouldn’t be nearly as good as it would be in a rematch. Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs) is a star and no one can fight Haney at 140 or 147 that comes close to him.

Bigger battles

De La Hoya is right about Garcia not needing a rematch because he beat Haney soundly. There’s more money for Ryan fighting these guys:

Gervonta Davis
Teofimo Lopez
Jaron Ennis
Shakur Stevenson

“If Ryan Garcia wants it and that’s what he wants,” Oscar De La Hoya said Fight Hub TV when asked what he thought about a Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney rematch in 2025. “Me personally, I see no need for it. Ryan destroyed himand that’s the bottom line.

“We have to make the best fights possible. Here are fighters like, Teofimo. There are fighters that we can match Ryan with anyone and make it a great event.

“Yes, absolutely. If they (Ryan and Teofimo) are the best at the moment, and that’s what people want to see, we have to make it. I sound like a broken record here, but I was once a fighter. I’m a promoter now, but I want to see the best fight the best,” says De La Hoya.
