Devin fuck it let’s run it again
If you feel you were cheated
We can run it again
I’ll only eat oysters for the training camp
And I won’t sleep

A Controversial First Chapter: Ryan Garcia Upsets Haney
Their initial fight in Brooklyn was a close affair, with Garcia edging out Haney by a split decision. However, the bout was overshadowed by news of Garcia’s positive drug test for Ostarine, a banned substance. While Garcia awaits the results of his B sample, the cloud of controversy hangs over the victory.

Boxing fans are split on the potential rematch. Some believe Garcia should wait for the results of his B sample and potentially face a suspension before another fight with Haney. Others are excited by the prospect of seeing these two young talents clash again, hoping for a more definitive outcome.
