Entertaining boasts and trash talk on Day 1 give way to hard drug use accusations, racial language and ill will on Day 2.
The two-city press tour to promote the heavily anticipated showdown between WBC junior welterweight Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia began Tuesday in New York City with an energetic and engaging news conference featuring back-and-forth between the camps, humorous trash talk and seemingly good-natured bashing and boasting from both sides.
Then second leg on Thursday in Los Angeles, however, devolved into the gutter with a coarse program that included personal and mean-spirited attacks that touched on drug use accusations and blatant racial language.
Haney and Garcia, whose split of six amateur fights against each other is a major storyline of the bout, are set to meet in a big-time showdown Golden Boy Promotions has dubbed “This One Counts” on April 20 (DAZN PPV, PPV.com in U.S., DAZN around the world) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
