De La Hoya Reassures Sponsors: Ryan Garcia Primed for Haney Clash
Promoter Oscar De La Hoya has stepped in to allay concerns from sponsors about Ryan Garcia's readiness for his upcoming bout against WBC light welterweight champion Devin Haney. Despite recent social media controversies, De La Hoya asserts that Garcia is back on track, training hard, and looking impressive ahead of the highly anticipated showdown. De La Hoya acknowledges that some sponsors had withdrawn support following Garcia's social media posts, but he emphasizes that recent sparring footage showcases Garcia's speed, power, and conditioning. The leaked video, which depicts Garcia dominating his opponents in the ring, has served to ease doubts about his preparedness for the April 20th fight on DAZN PPV at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. However, questions still linger among fans and media about Garcia's mental state and focus leading up to the bout. With Haney boasting an unbeaten record and formidable skills, Garcia faces a daunting challenge, particularly if he is not mentally prepared. De La Hoya remains optimistic, highlighting Garcia's physical condition and dismissing concerns about his distractions outside of the ring. While Garcia's sparring performance has impressed, De La Hoya acknowledges that Haney's slick style presents a different challenge altogether. Haney, known for his defensive prowess and tactical acumen, is expected to employ various tactics to frustrate Garcia, including holding, moving, and employing roughhouse tactics. Despite this, De La Hoya maintains confidence in Garcia's abilities, emphasizing his speed, power, and conditioning as key assets in the upcoming battle. As the countdown to the Haney vs. Garcia clash continues, all eyes will be on Garcia to prove himself against the formidable champion, Haney, in what promises to be a thrilling encounter for boxing fans. #OscarDeLaHoya #RyanGarcia #DevinHaney #Boxing #HaneyVsGarcia #DAZN #BarclaysCenter #SportsNews
