Robert Garcia anticipates Devin Haney's revenge against Ryan Garcia through "good training camp"
Robert Garcia recently forecast that Devin Haney would bounce back from his loss to Ryan Garcia after undergoing an intense training camp.
The seasoned boxing trainer advised Haney against taking on challenging opponents or fighting his WBC mandatory opponent, Sandor Martin, in his next bout. Garcia believes 'The Dream' should focus on gradually recovering following his recent defeat.
During a recent interview with Fight Hub TV, Garcia suggested there's a chance for Haney to emerge victorious in a rematch against 'KingRy', but underscored the crucial need for thorough preparation:
"If he takes a tune-up fight before the end of the year, he can get away with it. But a big, solid fight or a rematch, he shouldn’t. The rematch should happen in the summer of next year. If he fights before the end of the year, it should be an easy fight. It’s still a very competitive, close fight."
He added:
"It won’t be an easy fight for Ryan, either. I think Devin can win a rematch, but it’ll be a smart fight, a good training camp, good sparring and come up with a good game plan."
