Malignaggi: "My Jab Was Better Than Haney's"

Former boxer and now expert Paulie Malignaggi shared his thoughts on the match between WBC champion Devin Haney (31-1, 15 KOs) and Ryan Garcia (25-1, 20 KOs).

"Haney put a lot of effort into the fight with Garcia. He just lacked power and versatility. Here's what I'll tell you: my jab was better than Haney's, that's for sure. Devin should have worked more on his jab and fought less wildly. If he had fought less wildly, he wouldn't have taken so many hooks. I don't know what he was doing.

This is yet another proof that Haney cannot be compared to Floyd Mayweather. I remember how Haney's team and some of his entourage were saying he was going to be the next Mayweather. There's only one Mayweather," said Malignaggi.

On April 21, Ryan Garcia defeated Devin Haney. Despite the loss, Devin remains the WBC champion, as Ryan did not make the weight limit and did not qualify for the title.
