Tim Bradley’s recommendation to Devin Haney: return to Mexico?

Tim Bradley needs former two-division world champion Devin Haney to return to Mexico, the place he started his skilled profession in 2015. Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) has fought 10 occasions towards low-level opposition in Tijuana, Mexico, earlier than coming to the US

Haney misplaced to Ryan Garcia by 12-round majority resolution on April 20, and he regarded weak within the chin space. His energy was additionally weak. Sadly, these issues will not change when Devin, 26, returns to Mexico to struggle second- and third-tier opponents.

Humble pie in Tijuana?

Bradley does not discover that Haney now needs large cash for his fights, as a result of he and his father, Invoice, really feel they’ve arrived. They need to obtain the most important positive factors by combating in the US towards high opposition. They will not need to take a dramatic pay minimize whereas combating in Mexico. I do not assume that is real looking.

As soon as fighters begin making tens of millions from their fights, they do not need to return to making a living like they did early of their careers. Plus, they’re hitting exhausting in Mexico too, and these fighters will goal Haney’s glass chin from the bounce, trying to exploit what Ryan Garcia laid out.

“Devin Haney, do you need to come again?” Return to your roots, bro,” Tim Bradley stated on Xgiving some pearls of knowledge to not too long ago defeated Devin Haney. “Return to the place you began. The place did you begin? You began in Mexico. Return and get one in all these guys out of there, man.

“Return there and begin there. Get a few of this humble pie. Return to your start line. Should you come again to the place you began, I am going to inform you. You come to get again on high,” Bradley stated.

Haney’s chin is not robust sufficient to take large hits from the game’s fighters. Going again to Mexico will not magically resolve this drawback. One can solely think about what a Mexican slugger like Oscar Duarte would do to Devin if given the chance to struggle him.

If it have been that straightforward for fighters to restore their careers by combating in Mexico, everybody would do it. That is not the way it works. The one factor Haney will accomplish by returning to Tijuana, Mexico, is to pad his resume like he did earlier than.
