Oh, so you heard about Devin Haney, right? Poor guy, got his jaw busted up in that recent fight with Ryan Garcia. Now, this wasn’t just any regular ol’ bout. Nah, folks were calling it the fight of the season, some say even the fight of the year! All them tickets, all them people watching, and what happened? Ryan Garcia gave Haney a hit so hard, they say he broke his jaw! That’s what the talk around town is. And Haney, bless his heart, he kept on going, didn’t back down. But that jaw…well, it got some damage, all right.
Now, let’s start from the beginning. You see, Haney’s been in some big fights before this one. He got $4 million from his match with Vasiliy Lomachenko, and he even took home a good bit from that pay-per-view, too. Before that, he got $2.8 million when he faced George Kambosos Jr. You know, that’s a good chunk of change! But the big money don’t protect that jaw, now does it?
Now, some folks say Haney might’ve been too confident, maybe even a bit too laid back. Ryan Garcia was out there giving it his all, while Haney’s moves weren’t what they used to be. Folks reckon his reach and height advantage didn’t help him out too much this time. He got close, but every time he’d try to clinch, Garcia just slipped right in there. And then, bam—straight to the jaw!
Oh, that jaw! The doctors are still buzzing about how bad it was. Broken, they say. Now, for a fighter, that’s about one of the worst things. Imagine the pain. Imagine going home with your jaw wired shut! But Haney, he didn’t say a word about it that night. They went back to social media the next day, Haney and his dad Bill, and they were still standing strong, still talking about fighting like champions. It takes some guts to do that, I tell ya.
How bad was the jaw, anyway? Now, no official report came out about how exactly it broke. They just said it was a clean hit from Garcia, right up against Haney’s chin, and that’s all it took. But Haney kept going, kept fighting. Lost, sure, but he wasn’t about to quit in the middle of that ring. And the crowd, they loved it. Didn’t matter who won or lost. They just saw two men fighting like lions.
- Haney got $4 million from Lomachenko fight.
- He also made about $2.8 million with George Kambosos Jr.
- Jaw broke during Garcia fight, but he kept going.
Now, folks are wondering if Haney’s career is gonna be okay after this. Boxing’s tough on a body, even tougher on a jaw! He’ll need some time to heal up, no doubt about that. And there are rumors flying left and right. People saying Garcia’s gonna be the next big thing, talking about how he took down the champ. But Garcia didn’t even get Haney’s title because of that weight mix-up. Imagine fighting so hard, breaking a man’s jaw, and still walking away with no belt to show for it!
So, what’s next for Haney? Well, that’s the big question. Some say he should take a break, let that jaw heal, and come back stronger. Others think he might go for a rematch, prove he’s still got it. His dad, Bill, sure seems like he’s ready to keep pushing his son. And you know, Haney’s got a heart. Takes a big heart to keep fighting with a busted-up jaw. Not every fighter can do that.
Haney’s young, he’s got time, but that broken jaw…that’s no small thing. They’ll be watching him, doctors and fans alike, to see if he can still take a punch like before. And Garcia? Well, he’s sitting high on this win, even without the belt. People will remember that jaw, that fight, for years to come.
Let’s hope Haney heals up right. Ain’t no easy road ahead for him, but if anyone can do it, it’s him. The fight may have ended with that broken jaw, but that don’t mean Haney’s done just yet. Boxing fans all over the world are waiting to see what he’ll do next. Will he come back stronger? Only time will tell.
