“Drama Queens Is Just Starting”: Amid Ongoing Back-And-Forth, Bernard Hopkins Warns Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia of Too Much ‘Lip Service’

You know a man is dangerous when he receives the nickname of ‘The Executioner’. Well, Bernard Hopkins was indeed a force to be reckoned with. Very few boxers have been as dominant as Hopkins was in the middleweight division in the early 2000s. Currently, Hopkins, after his retirement, works as De La Hoya’s business partner in Golden Boy Promotions.

After Devin Haney‘s win against Regis Prograis, he has been on the lookout for the next opponent and Ryan Garcia has come up as an attractive option. Both parties have been in talks for a fight which fans hope will materialize soon. Recently, Hopkins went on an interview to speak of the much-anticipated match between Haney and Garcia. The two fighters have been going back and forth against each other on social media. Amid their beef, Hopkins gave his opinion on their ‘lip service’. Let us see what he had to say.

Bernard Hopkins believes fans are losing interest in Haney vs. Garcia

In the interview with FightHype Hopkins started by saying, “The world of boxing fans, casual or hardcore are tired of hearing lip service, I think they wanna hear now, actions.”

He talked of how Haney and Garcia are all talk but no show. The former undisputed middleweight champion believes that the fans want to see the contract signed rather than see fighters engage in relentless trash talking. He went on to say, “I think the drama queens is starting to get to the point where the fans are getting turned off and don’t care who they fight or when the fight.” 

Hopkins mentioned how after a while, the ‘lip service’ gets boring. When asked about what he thinks of the how the fight would pan out in the ring, he said, “I think it’s a even fight.” He further added, “For boxing, I think it’s a fight that people can live with or live without.” essentially saying the fight is not a must-see. How has Haney attacked Garcia in the recent development in their feud?
