Ryan Garcia knocked down Devin Haney three times and won their much-anticipated fight by majority decision Saturday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Garcia, a heavy underdog, rocked Haney with his patented left hook on each of the knockdowns in their 12-round super lightweight fight.
“He caught me early but I was sleeping on it. Caught me by surprise,” said Haney, who suffered his first defeat.
Haney seemed in control for a portion of the fight. But when Garcia went on the attack, he unloaded punches that caught Haney ill-prepared or Haney was simply ill-equipped.
