The whole boxing world tuned for the highly anticipated fight between Devin Haney and George Kambosos Jr. Garcia gave his opinion on how the fight went down. However, Stevenson didn’t let his unpopular opinion go by.

‘King Ry’ made his view known as he tweeted that the fight was “very underwhelming” and that the turn of the fight was in favor of the Aussie fighter. He said, “Edge to Kambosos.”

Stevenson was baffled by his views on the fight. Therefore, he replied to Michael Benson’s tweet reporting Garcia’s take. Hilariously, he claimed that Ryan Garcia was “out of his mind.”
