Check out some excerpts of what De La Hoya had to say below.
De La Hoya on Ryan Garcia’s next move “There’s three options for him, like viable options for him. you have the Rolly [Romero] option, which I don’t know if people want to see that because you see the first fight, it was okay, in Time Square where only like 300 people saw. But then you have the rematch with Devin Haney .
That’s the fight that everybody wants to watch. That’s the rematch because Devin Haney’s looking like a beast. “People are talking about how Devin Haney didn’t look too good, he wasn’t himself, Ryan was doing this and that — no, Ryan just beat him in a great fight.
So the revenge factor is pretty interesting to me. And then you have Conor Benn …Absolutely it’s possible but you think about this: he’s fighting for the Zuffa belt. And Ryan’s fighting for all the belts, he’s fighting for the WBC, WBA, IBF.
