Trainer James Ali Bashir discussed what he believes was a major problem for Devin Haney in his fight against Ryan Garcia.
"Haney was there with his father. We have many parents who interfere in high-level boxing and call themselves coaches. I think Devin made a big mistake by making his father the chief in his corner; he did nothing to help him avoid the left hook," said Bashir.
On the night of April 21, Garcia became the first to defeat Haney in professional boxing. Devin was knocked down three times but lost by a decision of the judges.
