Oscar De La Hoya roasted supervisor Invoice Haney on this week’s Clapback Thursdays episode, saying he’s tousled his son Devin Haney’s profession by having him sue Ryan Garcia for battery after his loss final April in Brooklyn, New York.
Oscar: Fireplace Your Father, Devin!
De La Hoya says Devin must take management of his life and “fireplace” Invoice. He thinks he’s wrecked what was as soon as a promising profession for the previous two-division world champion together with his decision-making.
Oscar says the lawsuit and Devin’s determination to take a seat inactive for a whole yr have made his defeat a lot worse. Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) might have bounced again from that loss by now if he’d gotten again within the ring as a substitute of sitting and stewing on his defeat.
In accordance with De La Hoya, Haney should win his combat in opposition to Jose Ramirez on Might 2nd to get the rematch in opposition to Ryan in October.
If that’s true, there’s going to be loads of stress on Devin when he faces the previous WBC and WBO 140-lb champion Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOs) of their co-feature combat on the undercard of Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero at Instances Sq. in New York Metropolis.
“I really feel sorry for Devin Haney since you infrequently hear him communicate as a result of his dad does all of the speaking,” mentioned Oscar De La Hoya throughout this week’s Clapback Thursdays. “Positive, Devin had a nasty loss this yr, however it shouldn’t have been career-ending. It might have been simply mounted.
“If it wasn’t for his father and supervisor, Invoice, who single-handedly turned it right into a extra poisonous state of affairs than Chornobyl. I’ve by no means seen an enormous f*** up for a boxer’s profession in my life. All Devin needed to do after dropping to Ryan Garcia final April was say, ‘He beat me. I couldn’t block his left hook,’ after which get again within the health club.
“As a substitute of specializing in a comeback combat in 2024 and educating his son to dam the left hook, Invoice thought it was a greater concept to have Devin sue Ryan for battery and emotional misery, to sue Golden Boy, to sue the New York Athletic Fee to get Devin’s loss expunged from his report, to combat a civilian on the Orange Nation State Honest, to take the remainder of the yr off and to make as many enemies as doable. They’ve cemented their legacy as the most important crybabies within the historical past of boxing.
“Now, final week, Invoice and Devin have been in London, begging Turki for a payday as a result of they don’t have any different choices. The one worth Devin has on this sport is to combat Ryan Garcia once more. So, Invoice, being the pimp that he’s, hoed his son out once more to the fighter that beat his a** so badly he needed to sue him for battery. I couldn’t make this s*** up, of us.
“The rematch [Garcia-Haney] is to occur this October however below one situation. The Haney’s should drop their bull s**** lawsuit in opposition to Ryan Garcia and Golden Boy. In fact, the Haney’s are prepared to drop it as a result of they’d no case in anyway. I’ve by no means heard of a fighter suing one other fighter for battery, and I’m sure we’ll by no means see it once more except Devin sues his subsequent opponent.
Rematch on the Line: Haney vs Ramirez
“Anyhow, taking the rematch is a reasonably dangerous transfer as a result of if Devin loses to Ryan once more, we are able to all wave goodbye to the Haneys. To ensure that Devin to get to that combat, he has to get by a troublesome and hungry Jose Ramirez in Might. Be careful, Jose. In case you hit him too arduous, he would possibly sue you subsequent.
“Devin Haney, from one fighter to a different, you need to take management of your life and profession and fireplace your father. Everybody in boxing stood by and watched what occurred this yr, a yr you have been speculated to shine. You at the moment are a punchline. Everybody sees he’s the issue. He [Bill] didn’t even cease the combat with Ryan Garcia when your jaw was damaged and also you have been on the canvas.
“I hope you’ll be able to come to your senses and determine to avoid wasting your self and half methods along with your present supervisor earlier than it’s too late. Sadly, it may be already,” mentioned De La Hoya.
