1
00:00:02.359 --> 00:00:05.919
Well, it's my pleasure to be
joined on our podcast once again. Now.

2
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:08.080
I used to call you the lightweight
champ. Now, Devin Haney,

3
00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:10.640
I got to call you the WBC
junior about the way champion. We're here

4
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:13.839
to talk about You're a very big
fight you have coming up April twentieth,

5
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:17.480
the Zone Paint Review at Barclay Center
in Brooklyn, New York, against Ryan

6
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:20.160
Garcia. Devin, thank you very
much for doing this. Have you been

7
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:23.719
yes, sir, thank you,
thank you for having me. I've been

8
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:28.000
good. I'm excited for the fight, you know, another fight at one

9
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:32.119
forty where I'm much more comfortable,
much more stronger, and I look forward

10
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.240
to it. All right, So
before we get into the conversation about that

11
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:37.079
fight that you have coming up,
I want to ask you. I was

12
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:42.000
looking at you at your box wreck
in terms of what you've done in your

13
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:47.320
career as a lightweight, and I
think it kind of gets like downgraded by

14
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:49.520
some people, and I can't really
figure that out. I look at I

15
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:55.159
see you were the first undisputed lightweight
champion since the legendary Parnell Whitaker did it

16
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.600
in nineteen ninety. You're the first
ever four belt undisputed champion in the lightweight

17
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.560
division. Overall, you made seven
title defenses, including two of the undisputed

18
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.719
crown, and you beat you know, good name guys like Gamboa, Lenaris,

19
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.599
Jojo Diaz, You beat Cambosas twice
in Australia, then you beat Lomachenko.

20
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.239
What do you when you think when
I you hear all that stuff,

21
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.640
I just said, what do you
think is your lightweight legacy? No?

22
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.439
I mean, I'm that all makes
you smile just hearing it, because you

23
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:29.480
know I worked hard to make the
best fights happen. You know, I've

24
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.760
always said I wanted to the best
fighters in the world, and you know,

25
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:38.120
if my resume chose yeah, I
mean it's I mean I think if

26
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.719
you if if they had been willing
to fight you, you you probably you

27
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.480
would have definitely fought a Tank Davis, Tifi, Ma Lopez, you know

28
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.000
the other you know good names that
are in that weight class. I can't

29
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.879
imagine you wouldn't have seen the type
of guys that you were willing to step

30
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.879
in with. Am I wrong about
that? No? One hundred percent.

31
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.519
Every guy that I called out that
that's that I stepped up. You know,

32
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.560
the fight has been made. But
all that here and there, and

33
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.400
now you know Ryan Garcia has stepped
up to the play and that's the fight

34
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:08.560
now. So after you left behind
the lightweight division and you went up in

35
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:14.520
December to move into the junior wealthweight
division and you fought for the WBC title,

36
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:19.280
Devin, you didn't just beat regist
Progra you and take the title.

37
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.879
You dropped him, You shut him
out. It was one hundred and twenty

38
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:23.159
two, one hundred and seven on
all three scorecards. Now, I know

39
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:28.280
that you were very confident in winning
that fight, and program sounded confident that

40
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.639
he was going to win the fight
also, but there wasn't even really any

41
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.719
rounds that were close. Did you
even in your mind, in your best

42
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.919
imagination to think that you'd be I'm
not going to say it was easy,

43
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:42.080
but did you would make it look
that easy? Vietnam? That was that

44
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.960
was you know, the game plan
to go in there, to execute to

45
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.159
handicaplan and make it as easy as
possible. So I did if I stepped

46
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.439
the game plan, and you know, I trusted the game plan that it

47
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.840
would work out, and it did. But Devin twelve to nothing, come

48
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.719
on, yeah, I mean that's
that's what I do. That's what I

49
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:08.400
uh. I pitched shutouts, and
you know, I go in there and

50
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:12.560
I'm taking away the guy's best thing
that they that they do and once you

51
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.319
once you, once you do that, once you handicap them, they they

52
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.879
have no answers. I mean,
that's that's a good point. That was.

53
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:21.800
I mean, you know, of
all your fights that you've had,

54
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.520
as dominating as you were against Cambosis
and some of the other fights you've had,

55
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.400
obviously Loma made it much closer.
But I think am I wrong to

56
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.879
say that, at least to me
looking at it, that's the best performance

57
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:35.400
you've ever had. Was because of
the caliber of the opponent, the moving

58
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.800
up and wait uh winning a win. Another title was that? Is that

59
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.759
the best performance you've had so far? Do you think? Yeah? I

60
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.280
mean I think so. I think
up to day for sure, that was

61
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.000
my best performance, especially because you
know the fort the fight they were saying

62
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:52.280
that you know, Reges was was
was number one guy in one forty.

63
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.800
Now you know they they act like
he was just any any Joe blow They

64
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.319
said it was just you know,
he was It was set up for me

65
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:00.960
to me, for me to go
in there and do that. But at

66
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.280
a point he was the number one
guy who a lot of guys were duck

67
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:05.759
and a lot of guys weren't didn't
want to fight. So I went in

68
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:10.680
there, I think I went up
to didn't you know take a tulip fighter

69
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:15.039
or anything like that, chose the
best guy and uh pissed a shout out,

70
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.240
went in there and heard him,
you know, beat him and and

71
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:21.959
now and so yeah, I definitely
doubt that was my best performance. You're

72
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.439
only twenty five years old, and
we just listed off all of the various

73
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.319
accomplishments that you have had in the
kinds of opponents you have beaten. And

74
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.360
at twenty five, for a lot
of fighters, they're not even in their

75
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.439
prime, or at least they're just
entering their prime. Do you feel like

76
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.600
you're in your prime yet? Are
you? Are you entering your prime?

77
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.439
I mean, and you've already you
know, you've got thirty one fights,

78
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.759
so it's not like you're a young
fighter in the game in terms of the

79
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.839
number of fights. But where do
you where do you view yourself in terms

80
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.959
of the arc of your career?
Yeah, I mean I'm still too you

81
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.240
know, young, still got a
lot of growing a lot of mature to

82
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:55.800
do in a ring. I'm getting
better and better at each fight, getting

83
00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:01.000
stronger, getting more mature had the
ring and in the ring, So I

84
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.240
don't think I'm in my prime yet, but you know I'm definitely you know,

85
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:09.800
I'm you know, the on upwards, like you know I'm on the

86
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.519
upwards for sure. Yeah, I
would agree with that. Uh, before

87
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.439
you guys were able to make this
match between yourself and and Garcia, you

88
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.160
know, he was gonna maybe fight
Roly Romero. They had a deal and

89
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.519
then Roly kind of left him at
the altar, so to speak, and

90
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.319
he went and took the fight against
Pitt Bull Cruise. When that was sort

91
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.600
of unfolding, what was sort of
like your backup plan if you weren't going

92
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.800
to get Ryan Garcia. I know
you're fighting him now, but what was

93
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:32.399
in your mind as far as what
you may have done if you weren't able

94
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.360
to land that big fight. Yeah, I mean I was looking at a

95
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:42.360
guy like Mario Barrios at one he
was very premature talks. But we were

96
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.439
looking at a guy like that,
We were looking at him that we were

97
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:51.480
looking at a few different guys.
So he's very very very very premature talks.

98
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:56.879
Understand Uh. It seems to me
like you have sort of you and

99
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.279
your father, you know, Bill
Haney, your manager, your trainer.

100
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:01.639
Did you guys have kind of taken
a page out of the Canelo playbook and

101
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.279
if you go back even further,
the Sugar Ray Leonard playbook where you work

102
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.160
with different promoters. You've done short
term deals. Obviously you were with match

103
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.839
Room for a period of time,
but then you went over and you had

104
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.279
you know, three fights under the
deal with Top Rank and Debella. That

105
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.480
was so you could get the Cambosas
fight, and you fought Lomachenko. Then

106
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:20.800
you went back to Eddie, who
you're with, I believe on a fight

107
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:25.279
by fight basis, even though you
know you continue to work with him.

108
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.839
How empowering is that for you as
a fighter to know that you and your

109
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.680
father can really do what you want
to do in terms of the types of

110
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:38.120
opponents and where you can have fights. I mean, that was all part

111
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:40.040
of the plan. It was.
It was for me to you know,

112
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.279
not be able to you know,
be handicapped and not be able to not

113
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.920
make the biggest fights happen, you
know, not not not get to big

114
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.480
money fights, not have those excuses, be able to control our own destiny.

115
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:53.680
And that's what we sayt to UH
since day one, and that's that's

116
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.079
what we're doing. It is easier
said than done, though, isn't it.

117
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.560
Oh yeah, I mean for sure, you know, especially in the

118
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.120
beginning when I wasn't making making any
money, but you know, trusting the

119
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.959
process and you know, seeing the
bigger picture and knowing that, you know,

120
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.360
not to sign a long term deal
then because because I didn't have money,

121
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.439
but to you know, not sign
a long term deal when I didn't

122
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.519
have money to just you know,
stay disciplined and just you know, just

123
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:23.920
trust the process. So now you
got to fight with with Ryan Garcia coming

124
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.600
up. And then I follow you
on social media and I've watched some of

125
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.399
the things I saw some of your
media day. You know, you're it

126
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.519
seems to me like the Devin Haney
that I've been covering for a long time

127
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.959
is having a normal training camp,
preparing hard, getting ready for the fight,

128
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:41.720
and your opponent, Ryan Garcia,
UH is off making like crazy amounts

129
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:46.759
of social media videos and posts every
single day, wild posts about all things

130
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.279
that are not boxing related, and
to a lot of people seems like he's

131
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:55.839
just having like a meltdown. Uh
what do you make of his behavior as

132
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.600
the guy that's gonna go in the
ring and fight against him? Yeah,

133
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.920
I mean he he post on his
page is his page, it's his it

134
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.279
is his platform. You know,
MY main focus is to continue to remain

135
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:15.079
focus and you know, keep training
and prepared to dominate him no matter you

136
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.279
know, if he's if he's all
the way there or not. I can't

137
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.000
I can't get too an emotionally attached
to that. I got to just focus

138
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.399
on being the best mee Devin.
There was one post that he put on

139
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.000
his social media where he literally said, quote his mission is to kill you

140
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.000
in the ring. That that that
offended me to be fight hous. I've

141
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.960
been doing this a long time.
I've been at fights where I've been at

142
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.840
fights where you said something about that. Yeah, yeah I did. I

143
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.759
mean I've been at I've been at
boxing matches where unfortunately, men have died

144
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:46.799
because of this sport. Uh.
You know, I like to see a

145
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.000
good fight, I think like anybody, but I certainly don't want to see

146
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.559
anybody die in the ring or get
seriously injured. It's it's not fun to

147
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.559
cover, it's not fun to watch. It's bad for everybody involved, the

148
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:01.240
person that's injured, the opponent,
the whole industry, the everything. When

149
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:05.120
you see that your opponent says that
without any like smiley face or saying he's

150
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.240
joking or anything like that, how
does that make you feel when he says

151
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.360
he's literally his mission is to kill
you. Yeah, well, we know

152
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.080
that that Brian Garcie is a TikTok
or YouTuber actor, whatever you want to

153
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.320
call himself. I don't take nothing
that he says. Series. At the

154
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.679
end of the day, this this, this is a brutal sport and every

155
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:28.799
time, every time we go in
there, every risk our lives and we

156
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.080
know that. So you know,
whatever, what what whatever he's playing is

157
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.120
set out to do, it won't
work. He won't have no esser for

158
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:41.240
me on So let him say what
he want to say. I'll uh,

159
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.720
I'll just you know, take it
out on an USA and make and make

160
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.559
a lot of people happy. Do
you feel like that he is doing all

161
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.240
this crazy behavior, whether it's the
videos and the post and just sort of

162
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.440
the kind of off the rails behavior
to somehow sell a fight, or do

163
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:05.120
you think he truly is sort of
like table and need some help. I

164
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.320
don't know, I said, you
know, mostly involved in that. I

165
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.320
don't know. I don't know.
My main focus is just focused on me,

166
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.559
you know, similar to when I
was fighting a guy like like Loma.

167
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.600
Loma didn't he wasn't saying anything,
he wasn't talking. We weren't here

168
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.320
from for hearing from him. But
I had to just focus on being the

169
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.919
best meat that I could be.
So similar to this, you know,

170
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.840
he's doing a lot of talking the
same thing. Just tunnel vision to keep

171
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.480
my blinder his own and stay focused. You've always truck me Devin as the

172
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:35.720
kind of guy that tries to not
get too high, not get too low,

173
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.360
and really just sort of maintain like
an even keel and leaning into your

174
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.360
fights in the boxing match itself.
Is that am I am? I right

175
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.799
on the on the sort of your
mentality about going into things and dealing with

176
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:52.480
the fight. There's always a lot
of drama with Ryan though, whether it's

177
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.360
you know, be like for example, the Tank Davis fight, before and

178
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:00.639
and during and after and after the
fight, a lot of people said that

179
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:01.960
they thought, because of the way
that the fight ended, that he when

180
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.519
he went down on the knee,
he got knocked down, that he quit,

181
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.679
that he could have got up,
that he didn't seem hurt, that

182
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.080
he was looking at the referee and
he just decided to not fight on.

183
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.000
Do you think that he quit in
that fight? Absolutely to watch the fight.

184
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.080
As soon as the guy, as
soon as the rep was done counting,

185
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.240
he got right up. I just
see. I just think that he

186
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.399
was, you know, felt like
he was over a match. I don't

187
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.200
know if he maybe he did.
Maybe he did have some you know,

188
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.639
just traction going into the fight before, I mean going into the fight.

189
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.639
So once he you know, he
felt like he had no answers, he

190
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.159
just was like, all right,
I'm done. You think you can make

191
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.039
him do the same thing? And
I asked you that because it seems to

192
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:46.240
me that once a boxer decides to
quit in a fight, it becomes easier

193
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.240
to do it the next time.
If it comes to that. Yeah,

194
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.480
I mean once you once you quit, you know how to quit. You

195
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.200
you've seen it that that that is
an answer, that that is a solution.

196
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.159
So, like I said, I
don't think that April twenty and for

197
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.440
being different, I think I see
him quitting. I see you know him

198
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:09.840
him quitting or you know his coach
Carl and fight off when it when when

199
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.919
it gets hot. Now, I
saw some stuff recently that the New York

200
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.840
State Athletic Commission wanted to give him
a mental health evaluation because of all the

201
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.399
stuff that was going on. As
we've been talking about, are you are

202
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.120
you confident? I know you're training, You're gonna be ready for the fight?

203
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.120
Are confident? But he's actually gonna
make it to the ring that night?

204
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:30.600
And if he doesn't, is there
a backup plan? For example?

205
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.679
I know, like the excellent contender, undefeated Arnold Barbosa is on the card,

206
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.000
or are you is all the eggs
in one basket with Ryan making it

207
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.120
to the ring? Yeah? No, I mean I don't have any questions

208
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.799
that Ryan is going to show up
Ryan. Ryan is going to show up

209
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:54.039
on the to the fight. Uh
right now? Ryan, whatever go playing

210
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.320
for? But I don't see,
I don't see happened. I see only

211
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.080
being right Okay. When they made
the match, I think a lot of

212
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:07.080
people Devin were surprised that it wound
up taking place, uh and being placed

213
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.720
at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn,
which is a very excellent arena. They've

214
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.279
had a lot of boxing events there, but most people thought this was going

215
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.360
to be in Vegas. What are
your thoughts about coming east for a world

216
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.200
title fight? Your last fight was
all the way on the other side,

217
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:20.440
back in you know where you were, where you were born in in the

218
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:28.440
Bay Area. Yeah, I'm excited
for you, right. I will always

219
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.039
happens to come back to New York, and I think I think it's gonna

220
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.879
be be It's that type of fight. It was. It would be a

221
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:37.480
big event no matter where we fought, So I'm not mad at I'm not

222
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.879
mad at at New York one bit. Oh, I'm glad to hear that.

223
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.799
It's as like I said, it's
a great arena. You know.

224
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.679
One of the big talking points of
the fight, besides all the craziness that's

225
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.000
been going on with Ryan leading up
to the fight, is the fact that

226
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.279
you guys are very familiar with each
other. You know each other a long

227
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.399
time. You had the the six
bouts in the amateur ranks where you had

228
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.919
split the fights three and three.
Do you think that that has any bearing

229
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.879
on what's going to take place twenty
third? Is it just good for you

230
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:07.240
know, fans and writers to talk
about. Yeah, I mean, I

231
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.559
don't think you I don't think it
matters. I think, you know,

232
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.080
we're familiar with each other, but
this, the pros is is definitely different,

233
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.879
and I'm a much better fighter than
our WI wasn't amateurs. I don't

234
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.679
think that Ryan has gotten much better. But that's for me to show.

235
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.480
You know, this is when he
counts for autumn marbles for everything, just

236
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:26.399
the one that that really means something. Yeah, no doubt. I mean,

237
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:28.519
I think they're saying this one counts. I saw in some of the

238
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:33.879
taglines on the artwork and stuff.
You know, besides, besides the matchup

239
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:35.519
you have with with Garcia, in
the fact you already defeated program, You're

240
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:37.799
in a really, you know,
good weight class that's got a lot of

241
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:43.000
talented fighters in at T tim Me
Lopez is a champion of the w BO,

242
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.240
the lineal champion. He got Sabrill
Mattias, who's the IBF champion.

243
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:48.519
You know, Tank Davis has fought
in this weight class before. Perhaps he'll

244
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.559
move up. You know, Roly
Romero and Pitbull Cruiser in the weight class.

245
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.039
What sorts of big fights do you
have in your mind if everything goes

246
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.919
the way you expected to go against
Ryan Garcia, and you come out with

247
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:03.759
yet another victory in still undefeated and
still champion. All those guys, all

248
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:07.360
those guys are my head. Obviously, my main focus is is Ryan,

249
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:13.480
but all those guys are can Can
Can Can? You know, Postcoose fights

250
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.399
right after this one, he stuck
around at lightweight for a long time and

251
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.480
then you obviously came up. Now
you're in the jerim welterweight division. You

252
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:22.039
feel like you're gonna stick around in
this weight class for the number of years

253
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:26.360
or you also have your eyes you
know, in the nearer future on the

254
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.000
welterweight division. Yeah, no,
I want to. I want to.

255
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.080
I want to fight out both,
you know. I want to make the

256
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.279
biggest fights happened, the best fighters
in the world. So wherever wherever that

257
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:41.399
that takes me, it takes me. But I'm interested in the one forty

258
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:46.480
division right now. You know excites
me. Spa price if you made and

259
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.080
uh, we'll see. Well,
we're gonna see. And I'll tell you

260
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.360
one thing. I'm looking forward to
seeing you and Ryan Garcia in the ring

261
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.320
call me about twenty at his old
pay per view. Uh, I think

262
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.360
it's gonna be a very interesting fight. I appreciate your time very much.

263
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:02.799
Devian has always your gentlemen. Thank
you so much for doing us Yes,

264
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:04.600
I think you m m hm
