In an interview with Fight Hype, Mosley explained that each knows the other’s mistakes and this could benefit anyonebut he believes that Haney has acquired more experience than García and that is why he chooses him as the possible winner.
“That’s a much tougher fight. I would say Devin has a bigger advantage. He would be able to surpass Ryan, move around and understand him. At the same time, Ryan has fought Devin and also knows his mistakes. Then he can capitalize, and Ryan has a great left hook and a great punch. We can see if Ryan can catch Haney with something. I think Devin has the advantage. I love Ryan. He’s a California guy, but I’m not sure if Ryan will be able to pull the trigger and catch Devin in the middle of him trying to box and move. It’s going to be a very interesting fight,” he said.
“I lightly take Devin as the victor, but I think Ryan has a great chance to win if he catches him with a big left hook or a big punch because they have a history with each other. They do know each other. It’s 50-50 in that sense. He is very close. We know that in a boxing match he can happen anything, and this is the kind of fight where Ryan can close his eyes and catch him with a left hook and catch Devin when he’s slipping. (Devin) seems a lot stronger at 140, like he’s more comfortable at this weight. Ryan also looks much bigger. On both sides, it’s an even fight, and it’s actually a great fight“he added.
