This fight is quite simple to break down if you ignore the circus that Garcia has been a part of on social media and in press conferences. Garcia is doing his job marketing the fight for the casual fan to purchase the PPV, but he needs to do his job in the ring.
With that being said, Garcia is going to have a tough night in the ring on Saturday. Without all the outside noise, Haney is the better boxer. Even if Garcia has the speed and power advantage, unmatches the focus and dedication to the sport that Haney has.
Haney will be able to control this fight from the outside with his jab and, honestly, we see Garcia getting hurt badly early with a broken nose from the jab of Haney and slowly start not wanting to be in the ring anymore.
Unless Garcia is a world-class actor, he is not in the headspace he needs to be in to win this fight. The official Haney vs Garcia prediction is that this fight will end inside of 10 rounds and Haney will get a statement win.
Taking the under 10.5 round total is a good way to hedge the Haney method of victory prop bet because if Garcia wins, it will need to be a KO.
