Ryan Garcia responded on social media to Bill Haney’s earlier characterization of him as “out of touch,” asserting that Haney remains resentful about the “severe beating” his son, Devin, received the previous year.
Initially, Kingry unleashed his offensive in a live broadcast, playfully claiming to be Haney’s “actual father” and reminding supporters of the comprehensive victory he achieved against Devin.
“Still can’t accept that severe beating. You’re through and exposed. Much love, Bill. You’re finished, man,” Ryan Garcia commented on X, reacting to Bill Haney’s earlier social media message that questioned his psychological condition.
Ryan stopped short of launching a major attack by mentioning that Haney’s performance has noticeably declined since their encounter. Haney appeared significantly below par in his recent contests against Brian Norman Jr. and Jose Ramirez, leading commentator Tim Bradley to speculate about potential PTSD.
“Is this individual intoxicated, impaired, or disconnected from reality? Henry, retrieve your jester; we desire the boxer who knocked down and dominated your son. Do you recall the same Rolly you avoided rematches with? Ryan lacks concentration, is overly sensitive, and offers excessive justifications. Dispatch Rolly. We are prepared,” Bill Haney stated earlier on X.
Bill should carefully consider whether to proceed with Devin facing WBA welterweight champion Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero (17-2, 13 KOs) in a unification bout. This decision could backfire spectacularly, with Romero potentially overwhelming Haney with his strength and stature.
During Rolly’s unanimous decision victory over Ryan on May 2, he resembled a robust junior middleweight after rehydration. Romero is large, durable, and possesses considerable striking power. This represents a significant challenge for any fighter with a history of chin vulnerability and reluctance to engage.
