Roy Jones Jr. advises Ryan Garcia for his fight against Devin Haney
Former world champion Roy Jones Jr. discussed the upcoming super lightweight title clash between Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia.
In an interview with Fight Hub TV, Jones Jr. stressed the importance of Garcia switching up his approach and not being overly dependent on his famed left hook, which has given him so much success.
Jones Jr. argued that it will be expected of Garcia to use the left hook and he needs to surprise his opponent. He said:
"He's [Garcia] got to use more weapons. He can't just depend on the left hook. Everybody knows about your left hook now. If it's just your left hook, that shouldn't work because, like 'Tank' said, 'If all you've got is a left hook you're not going to beat me.' And he didn't. Once again, Devin understands that... He should develop a few more weapons so people aren't just looking for the left hook. They don't know where it's coming from."
