Ryan Garcia lit the New York Commission on social media and responds to their failure to turn a call over Gervonta Davis who took a knee in the ninth round of his battle last Saturday night in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Many fans felt that it should have been a knockout and disqualification.
Ryan wonders why the New York State Athletic Commission overturned his victory over Devin Haney on April 20 last year, took away his victory and it had a no competition after he had the prohibited Ped Ostarine in his system.
The no-knockdown
He feels that the commission feels that they should do it. Why didn’t they act on referee Steve Willis’ call in the ninth round when Tank Davis hit the deck after being nailed by a stitch of Roach (25-1-2, 10 COs)?
The failure to make the right call has the victory and the millions he would have made as the new WBA 140-pound champion. Roach did not see the big picture of which tank’s missed knockout and disqualification cost him in dollars and cents. He would have made millions in a re-broadcast as the WBA champion rather than the B-side-out.
What I do wonder is whether the commission only makes changes if you complain and cry like Haney, or that they actually care about the integrity of the sport! Nothing against tank, but as the commission switches my win, they have to switch this victory for Roach.
They won’t bc …

I’m not a hater either, I like tank, I think he’s a wonderful fighter he had of a night and Lamont fought well! Simply
But I’m tired of the contradiction in boxing it’s fucking weird
I had the Ref Save Haney to stop, and never called Haney because he held on for dear life …
