Ryan Garcia has skill set to compete with Devin Haney. Does he have mindset?

(Editor’s note: This story first published at Boxing Junkie, part of the USA TODAY Network.)

Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia have a lot in common but couldn’t be more different.

The fighters, who meet for Haney’s 140-pound title on pay-per-view Saturday in Brooklyn, are both 25 and talented. They’re both from California. They both had strong amateur careers, which included six fights against one another. Each of them won three times.

And they both have become popular professional...

Henry Cejudo: Bo Nickal needs to hold his horses, 'maybe 10 fights away from possibly becoming UFC champion'

Henry Cejudo doesn’t think Bo Nickal is quite ready for the top after UFC 300.

Nickal (6-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) remained unbeaten when he submitted Cody Brundage (10-6 MMA, 4-5 UFC) in Round 2 of Saturday’s main card opener at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Nickal gave himself two thumbs down for his performance, but Cejudo still sees championship potential in the standout wrestler – just not right now.

“Don’t put that pressure on you, if you’re disappointed in your performance, because...

Max Holloway responds to the 'un-BMF' demands from UFC champ Ilia Topuria

If Ilia Topuria holds to his recent stipulation for a title fight with Max Holloway, it would run counter to the idea behind what Topuria wants to get his hands on to begin with, Holloway thinks.

UFC featherweight champion Topuria (15-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) said after this past Saturday’s hyper-dramatic UFC 300 “BMF” title win by Holloway (26-7 MMA, 22-7 UFC) that it’s likely the former champ had earned another title shot.

But then Topuria said he only would grant Holloway a chance to win...
