You know, that Devin Haney, the boxer, he got beat up real good the other day. I heard some folks sayin’ he got his jaw broke. That Ryan Garcia, he really gave it to him, I tell ya. They was fightin’ up in Brooklyn, New York. Big city, that is. Not like our little town, no sir.
Well, I heard Devin Haney, he went on that Twitter thing, you know, the one with the little bird. He said his jaw ain’t broke. Said he didn’t get no broken bones at all. Can you believe that? After all that thumpin’ and a-bumpin’? He’s a tough one, that Devin, I gotta give him that.
That Ryan, though, he’s somethin’ else. Heard he said he did break Devin’s jaw. Talkin’ big, that one. They fought on April 20th, that’s what I heard. A Saturday night, just like the old days when we used to have them barn dances down by the creek.
- Devin Haney, he’s a boxer.
- Ryan Garcia, he’s another boxer.
- They fought in Brooklyn.
- Devin says his jaw ain’t broke.
- Ryan says maybe it is broke.
Now, this whole thing is a mess. That Ryan, he was supposed to be a certain weight, but he wasn’t. He was heavier, I hear. Three pounds over! That’s like eatin’ three extra plates of mashed potatoes. He had to give Devin a whole heap of money just so they could still fight. One and a half million dollars! Can you imagine? We could buy a whole lot of chickens with that kind of money. And Ryan, he couldn’t even win that shiny belt ’cause he was too heavy. What a shame!
This Devin, he’s made a lot of money, I tell ya. Over ten million dollars! More money than I’ve seen in my whole life. He’s only 25, too. Young whippersnapper. He’s got some fancy title, too. Something about a “WBC World Super Lightweight” champion. Sounds important, don’t it? He is a good boxer, but not this time.
But Devin Haney broken jaw? Nope. He says it ain’t true. Maybe he’s just sayin’ that to keep his spirits up. Or maybe he’s tougher than we think. Who knows what these young folks are up to these days? It’s all a mystery to me. But his jaw is not broken.
If they fight again, that Ryan better watch his weight. Devin said somethin’ about that, too. Sounds like he wants another go at him. I wouldn’t want to be in Ryan’s shoes if that happens. Devin might be lookin’ for payback. And you know what they say about payback… it ain’t pretty.
This whole Devin Haney broken jaw thing has got everyone talkin’. It’s the biggest news since old man Johnson’s cow got loose and ended up in the mayor’s rose garden. Remember that? Oh, that was a sight to see. But this fight, it’s got everyone riled up.
I don’t know much about boxin’, but I know a good fight when I hear about one. And this one, it sounds like it was a doozy. Too bad Devin lost. But hey, that’s the way it goes sometimes. You win some, you lose some. Just like pickin’ apples. Sometimes you get a good one, sometimes you get a wormy one.
I wonder if they’ll fight again. I bet they will. These young folks, they love a good scrap. And with all that money involved, it’s like a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Except this rainbow is made of punches and sweat.
Well, I gotta go now. My cornbread is probably burnin’. But you keep your ears open about this Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia. There’s bound to be more to this story. And when there is, you be sure to tell me all about it. I love a good yarn, especially when it involves a little bit of fisticuffs and a whole lot of money.
And remember what Devin said, no broken jaw for him. He’s tough as nails, that one. Just like us old folks. We might be a little creaky, but we’re still kickin’.
