. Everyone’s talking about Ryan losing to Rolly as proof the PEDs were the reason Devin Haney won but I wonder if another big factor is that power punchers are just a terrible match up for the dude and a big reason he beat the brakes off Haney is that Haney is pretty pillow fisted

Ryan was undefeated until tank, he got knocked down the first round and then got stopped. Then against Rolly he got knocked down and was super ineffective for the rest of it. To me a power puncher is the worst style for a dude that has mental health issues, is unstable and lacks heart. He can keep fighting if he’s getting hit by feathers, but if you get hit with a ton of bricks (tank said Rolly is the hardest puncher he fought) it takes a lot of heart and mental energy to not get discouraged and get into your head about it

I think it’s very possible that the PEDs gave him a huge edge against Haney, but even if that same Ryan Garcia fought Rolly I think there’s a huge chance it’d play out the same cuz he still would’ve gotten hit once and mentally quit

Idk just lmk your thoughts. I love you and very proud of you :)
