Boxer Ryan Garcia, who made national headlines last month for exposing child trafficking and promoting his Christian faith, defeated undefeated super lightweight champion Devin Haney by major decision.
Garcia, who was a big underdog in the fight, dominated every round and was able to knock Haney down to the canvas multiple times with his powerful left hook.
In his post-fight interview, Garcia told the crowd, “God did it, my heavenly Father Jesus Christ, I give you all the glory.”
“Did you all think I was really crazy? You have lost your own mind.” Garcia added.
The former champion, who has an impressive 25-1 record, continued: “All I do is love God and try to help the kids, and you straight up hate me. You don’t like the truth.”

Per ESPN:
Ryan Garcia’s fitness to fight was questioned ahead of his fight with Devin Haney, a turbulent promotion highlighted by Garcia’s erratic comments.
Garcia (25-1, 20 KOs) was a big underdog and was pretty much counting down Saturday night. His blinding, powerful left hook turned the tide as Garcia scored three knockdowns to ease the upset via majority decision at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
One judge scored the fight 112-112, but was overruled by scores of 114-110 and 115-109 for Garcia. However, Garcia was ineligible to win Haney’s WBC junior welterweight title after weighing in at 143.2 pounds for Friday’s 140-pound bout. Haney remains the champion in defeat, but it’s Garcia who scored the best win of his career by knocking out ESPN’s No. 6 pound-for-pound boxer.

Many boxing commentators claimed that Garcia had no chance against Haney and called Garcia “crazy” for claiming that the elite participated in child trafficking.
In March, The Gateway Pundit reported on Garcia’s comments about elite child trafficking rings and disturbing personal experiences witnessing them firsthand.
