Porter Says Garcia's Behavior Could Be a Ruse

Former world champion American Shawn Porter believes that the behavior of Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) ahead of his fight against WBC light welterweight (up to 63,5 kg) champion Devin Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) might be staged.

"I think it's over the top and doesn't make sense because that's what he wants. He wants us to believe it and he wants Devin Haney's team to believe it," said Porter.

Shawn also expressed his belief that Garcia will indeed be fully prepared for the fight.

The Haney vs. Garcia bout will take place on April 20th in New York and will be Garcia's first title fight since moving up from lightweight.
