While umpteen fans have favored Campbell over Garcia, Haney doesn’t see that happening. Instead, he believes that Garcia will retain his undefeated record as his right hand will be way too rapid for the ‘Cool Hand’.

“I think Campbell has the experience, and you know you cannot say he is a pushover, he is not a pushover. But for some reason I see Ryan beating him fairly easy.

“I really do. I see that happening. A lot of people may disagree but you know, I have known Ryan for a while and I just feel that Ryan’s right hand is going to beat him easy,” said Haney.

He further said that Campbell has been credited more than he has achieved. Well, it might sound absurd for the boxing fans, since Luke Campbell is one of the most dangerous lightweights of this era.

The 32-year-old is 20-3 in pro boxing, with a huge fanbase all over the world. However, it seems that he still hasn’t accomplished enough to earn Devin Haney’s respect.
