It seemed like a performance that was too good to be true for Garcia against Haney and now it seems like it wasn't after failed drug tests.

Such a shame that this sport continues taking steps back.

anyone who took anything from that Garcia fight is naive IMO.

he didnt make weight, didnt even try therefore as far as I am concerned it was already a no contest. Haney is no saint in terms of PEDs he worked with Vic Conteh prior to this fight also so there is a huge red flag over him IMO also.

I think most if not all of these fighters are juicing, it's all about who you bribe and who you know. USADA are blatantly corrupt, as we saw with Mayweather..
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Most who have a decent idea of the sport know this is the case. its not even about bribes now, its about what your using , how your using it and what you can actually get signed off on to use.

Garcia has gone batsh!t crazy unfortunately.

He’s got good hand speed and a lovely left hook but he really isn’t that good, PEDs or no PEDs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
cmon Garcia is good, he isnt elite, but to say he isnt good is just absolute rubbish.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I said he isn’t THAT good, because he isn’t.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
what is "that good" he is world level, quite easily world level.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Top five in your division maybe but unreality he’s a bit of a one trick pony.

If were talking about junior welter he could be no1 IMO. if were talking 147 he could be ranked about 3rd/4th. possibly being the best in your division means that you dont fall into the "not that good" category

Boxing can give you surprises like that though. Even with his added weight it was still a surprise to see Haney put down that easily and so often, but obviously this helps explain things IMO more than the added weight does.

Haneys game plan was all wrong, however that could be a result of getting concussed in the 1st round. We have seen Haney get proper wobbled before in the past.

dont get me wrong prior to the fight I thought Garcia would have been a threat for 4/5 rounds then get shut out.

as other pro's have brought up losing those last few pounds are the hardest and take the most out of you. Haney looked very drained at the weigh in, and looked like the cut wasnt easy, had proper ghost face. that most likely would also have had a say in his punch resistance. Also add in the fact that there was no rehydration clause so Garcia could blow up even more.

Garcia defo took some life lessons from the Davis fight and rest assured Haney will take a life lesson in the same way.
