Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia, billed as This One Counts, was a professional boxing match contested in the super lightweight division between the WBC super lightweight champion, Devin Haney, and former WBC interim lightweight world champion, Ryan Garcia. The bout took place on 20 April 2024 at the Barclays Center in New York.

Background[edit]
On February 9, 2024, it was announced that Haney vs. Garcia was signed[3] for April 20, 2024, in Las Vegas, Nevada for the WBC super lightweight title.[4]
The title of the fight, This One Counts, is a reference to the six prior matches between Haney and Garcia in amateur boxing, with this one being their first official match in professional boxing.[5] The last time they fought was in January 2015, the quarterfinals of the USA Youth National Championships.[6] Their record in the amateurs stood evenly tied at 3–3.[7][8]
Two days before the fight, Garcia agreed to a wager with Haney that Garcia would pay $500,000 for every pound over the limit should he miss weight.[9]
Garcia later weighed in at 143.2lbs, 3.2lbs over the championship limit, and would forfeit up to $600,000 of his purse to Haney. Garcia would not be eligible to win the title.[10]
Result[edit]
Garcia won the bout via majority decision.[11] Garcia knocked down Haney in rounds 7, 10 and 11 before coming away with the victory by Majority Decision (114–110, 115–109, 112–112).[12][13] Garcia outlanded Haney 106–87 in total punches and 95–45 in power punches.[14]
