Ryan Garcia was absolutely huge when he finally entered the ring to fight Devin Haney.

Last week, Garcia infamously missed the 140-pound weight limit by three pounds, drank beer on the scale to mock his opponent, and paid Haney $1.5 million as a penalty.

After Garcia put a beat down on Haney, he revealed that he had rehydrated nearly 20 pounds and fought Haney while weighing 160

According to Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn, Haney didn’t want to do another weigh in on Saturday because he knew that he was going to rehydrate to a huge amount.

Haney’s former opponent, Regis Prograis, mocked Haney for getting weight bullied when he did the same thing to him for their fight.

“It’s like a karma thing. That’s the way I look at it. Now, Ryan did it to him. The same s— that he did to me, Ryan did to him on a way worse level. All that karma s—. Tank did it to you. Devin did it to me, and now Ryan did it to you. “Well, Tank did it to Ryan, Ryan did it to Devin and Devin did it to me. All the weight s—. It’s all about the advantages. Every advantage that you can get, that’s what they do. I just feel that karma s— is real and that’s just how it go,”

Garcia now has his eyes set at fighting 135-pound champion Gervonta Davis at a 144-pound catchweight rematch.
