Ryan Garcia took the fight to Devin Haney during the boxing match. The Los Alamitos native shocked the world with his upset win over the WBC super lightweight champion via majority decision. Regardless, boxing fans did not think Garcia had it in him to win against Haney since he had lost earlier to Gervonta Davis. They criticized him for that loss, but UFC color commentator Joe Rogan came to the aid of the 25-year-old.

Gervonta Davis extended his winning streak to 29 fights after beating Ryan Garcia last April. The fight ended in the seventh round as a body shot from ‘Tank’ brought down ‘KingRy’. Following that fight, fans on social media kept talking about Garcia giving up after getting knocked down, claiming that it was too easy for Davis to win. Davis even used his win over the 25-year-old as an example to warn his future opponents. Regardless, Joe Rogan believed otherwise and emphasized the body shot that ended the boxing match.

Joe Rogan defended Ryan Garcia after his first and only loss

During an episode of the ‘Joe Rogan Experience‘ that had UFC legend Bas Rutten as a guest, Joe Rogan talked about the punch that Gervonta Davis delivered on Ryan Garcia to knock him out, which was a liver shot. Having been in the combat sports space for more than a couple of decades, the 56-year-old understands that liver shots are some of the most impactful punches.

“The liver’s awful,” Joe Rogan stated. Even Bas Rutten agreed with the longtime UFC commentator and said, “It’s the worst.” He further pointed out how fans were criticizing Ryan Garcia for giving up in the seventh round. But Joe Rogan suggested that those people should get in the right and then they would understand how painful liver shots are.

He added, “O My God! People were saying when Ryan Garcia went down against Tank Davis, and people saying like he quit. Like, have you ever been hit there before?” Meanwhile, Ryan Garcia bounced back from that loss and registered one of the biggest wins of his career against Devin Haney.

A majority decision win for ‘KingRy’

The boxing match went to the distance with all twelve rounds as the judges scored 112-112, 114-110, and 115-109 in favor of Ryan Garcia. Many UFC fighters congratulated him for the win. If he hadn’t missed weight, we could have seen the crowning of a new WBC super lightweight champion.
