Ryan Garcia Goes on NSFW Post-Match Tirade After Upset Win Over Devin Haney
Ryan Garcia (25-1, 20 TKOs) missed weight the day before his fight against Devin Haney (31-1, 15 TKOs), but the former certainly didn't miss when he was in the ring with the latter, as Garcia emerged victorious by a majority decision after scoring three knockdowns of the WBC junior welterweight champion during Saturday's bout at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Ny.
But Garcia, who espoused multiple conspiracy theories on his social media accounts in the lead-up to the fight, wasn't done throwing jabs, as he took some time during his post-match press conference to call out his critics in an NSFW tirade.

"I don't give a f--- what people say about me. I walked through the fire and still held it down and still beat f---ing Devin Haney and still drink every day," Garcia said. "Not necessarily am I proud of that, but I'm just saying it was a statement to show you, you guys can't really f--- with me."
Garcia's father Henry then called out ex-boxers and members of the media by name, saying his son "proved them wrong."
Haney retains the junior welterweight title belt in defeat, given that Garcia missed weight by 3.2 pounds. Garcia had made a bet with Haney that he would pay him $500,000 for every pound he went over the 140-pound limit, a costly bet he has reportedly honored.
However, Garcia got the last laugh with his performance in the ring Saturday night.
