Adrien Broner took to social media to taunt Bill Haney after his son Devin’s loss to Ryan Garcia last Saturday night. Before the fight, Broner had said that he was putting his fortune of $13 on Ryan to come out victorious so that he could triple his money.
Bill was nowhere to be seen after Haney’s loss to Ryan last night, and some fans wonder if he’d disappeared off the grid and gone up to the hills to hide out in a shack to start writing his manifesto.
Now, that Haney (31-1, 15 KOs) lost and is in desperate straights, the former four-division world champion Broner (35-4-1, 24 KOs) wants to give him a pick-me-up by offering him a fight at 147.
Fighting Broner, 34, would allow Haney to get his feet wet in the welterweight division and slowly progress to a new weight class.
It’s clearly not working for Haney at 140, and that could be one reason Garcia easily handled him in a 12-round majority decision at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Haney, 25, looked a little drained from the effects of losing 20+ lbs of water weight to get down to 140 and then rapidly putting it back on overnight.
Anyone who has ever done that kind of thing knows it leaves you physically wasted for the next two days.
I think it caught up to Haney last Saturday, and his defeat against Ryan showed that it’s time for him to move up to 147 to make his job of making weight a tad bit easier.
It still won’t be easy for Haney because he’s draining down from 165 lbs, but it won’t be as much of an extreme manipulation as it’s been for him to take off 25 lbs to get down to 140.
“Has anybody seen Bill? Where the f*** is Bill at? Bill,” said Adrien Broner on social media, taunting Bill Haney after his son, Devin’s loss to Ryan Garcia last Saturday night in New York.
“No, we know where Devin is at. Devin is probably trying to get his thoughts together. He’s alright. I know everybody is waiting on my reaction, but I got to tell the truth. Devin, you got to fight me now,” said Broner. “Right now, you need me.
“A loss doesn’t define your career. You can still be one of the best in the boxing business, but you need me now. Go get your s*** together because I’m fighting you need me. Let’s go. Let’s make the fight,” said Broner in his message to Haney.
