Ryan Garcia had one of the wildest weigh-ins in quite some time. At the ceremonial procedure Friday with Devin Haney, the boxer he’ll face on April 20, Garcia promptly downed a beer mid-weigh-in.
Fighters do all kinds of wild things at weigh-ins to get into their opponents’ minds: trash talk, shoving, staring them down, etc. You know, the typical stuff we’ve come to expect.
But Ryan Garcia was so amped for his weigh-in with Devin Haney that he didn’t even wait for Haney to get on stage. He hopped on the scale with a random beer that he brought with him and totally chugged it. Making matters worse, Garcia also lost over $1 million for being overweight.
