Bradley urges Haney: “Mental right” in talks about PTSD after Garcia’s loss
Tim Bradley says he can “get the mind right” because he can’t continue to play the way Devin Haney showed in his final battle with Jose Ramirez. Bradley hopes Haney (32-0, 15 KOs) will get out of his mental issues. He considers it a form of PTSD due to combat duty and returns to the fighter he once was before Ryan Garcia attacked him a year ago.

Haney’s mental state
Bradley has no useful advice for Devin to return to his former self. He can’t punch, and the chances of competing with the killer at 147 like Jaron Ennis and Brian Norman Jr. are not slim. Unfortunately, Haney is too big to go Weight Mully to go back to 140 and 135.
“This form of Devin is not difficult to beat. This form of Devin is easy. Mentally, it’s the way he acted in the final battle. I know how you can defeat Devin. fightype. “Whatever you want to say about his final performance, if you want to call that boxing, you can see that s***. I haven’t seen it.”
Bradley’s advice is useless. Haney can’t become the bold and attractive fighter Tim wanted to be him, as the assault he took against Ryan Garcia took something out of him. He doesn’t want to return to the forefront again after continuing to bomb the carpet he took from Kingley.
What is the rest of the fight or flight behavior we saw from Haney against Jose Ramirez, who appeared to be experiencing a flashback? It should have been an easy fight for Devin, but he dealt with the fear and seemed to wake up. It’s difficult for Bradley to understand Haney’s behavior. Because it is different from the way he reacted after the loss of his career.
Tim calls out Haney’s boring style
“I don’t want to see Haney fight. I’m actually trying to help you, Big Dog. I’m trying to keep it 100 with you and let you know that it’s not boxing,” Bradley said. “This is how it went around the ring for two and a half minutes (circle movement). You should look at the eyes. The eyes looked like a coke bottle.”
Turki Alalshikh is still interested in using Haney on the Riyadh season card. So, regardless of how uninterested Bradley and his fans are watching his boring fight, he still gets placed on Dazn’s PPV card. He missed the Battle of Theofimo Lopez. This was one of the few options he had on big payday.
The only other viable option for Devin of 147 to make money is against these fighters.
– Manny Pacquiao
– Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero
– Connarben
– Mario Barrios
Torki doesn’t intend to match Haney and Jaron Ennis or Brian Norman Jr. Because it’s a massacre. Devin can’t take punches from those fighters and lasts for more than two rounds. He will likely lose to other candidates, such as Karen Chuhajian and Eimantas Stanionis. Those guys are too good for him.
Honey’s Post-Geria Trauma: Permanent?
“You were scared like hell. They say, ‘Well, Tim. He has PTSD from Garcia.’ Do you think I had PTSD from Ruslan Provodnikov?
Some fighters and soldiers do not recover from PTSD. It stays with them for the rest of their lives, and that may be the case for Haney. What he experienced in his battle with Ryan was steadily igniting 36 minutes during the battle. He was fragmented by Garcia and hurt a half dozen in the fight.
It’s still too early to know if Devin’s situation is permanent. It’s not a good sign that he had shown symptoms a year after the ring to recover from the assault on Garcia.
Some good fights for Haney in 140 years are against these guys:
– Keyshawn Davis
– Richardson Hitchens
