The hottest debate in boxing right now is – who would win when Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney get in the ring? And coming in hot is Abdullah Mason, who sparred with Haney in the past, with his predictions for the fight! The fight between ‘King Ry’ and the ‘The Dream’ was finally confirmed earlier this month! But it did not come easy!

While Haney has always been open to taking on the Victorville native, Garcia deviated from the point after getting influenced by Floyd Mayweather. However, things are on the right track now as the duo looks forward to battling it out on April 20 in Las Vegas! So, Fight Hype caught up with Mason yesterday to get his prediction!

Abdullah Mason claims, “Whoever [is] more focused” will win

While speaking to the reporter about the Garcia-Haney fight – Mason highlighted their amateur fight history! “It depends, you know, they both could fight, so you never know. They went three and three in the amateur, although the pros [are] different. So, you can get it at 50/50,” said Mason. Though Mason wasn’t sure who would get the upper hand during the fight, he revealed what he had observed. 

“I could say right now, from what I’m seeing off of social media, you can never judge off that, but I’m seeing Devin looking a little more focused right now,” said Mason. Elaborating on his point further – Mason stated, “Whoever [is] more focused on outside of the ring, so I think Devin, he focused right now. So, that’s what I’m going lean towards!” Meanwhile, another rising star in the featherweight division has made his predictions for the Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney fight.
