The pair of rivals settle the score on Saturday night in Brooklyn

Ryan Garcia's erratic behavior has overshadowed every storyline involving him and WBC junior welterweight champion Devin Haney. The rivals meet in the boxing ring on Saturday with only Haney eligible to win the title after Garcia missed weight on Friday. Devin Haney (c) -910 Ryan Garcia +575 WBC junior welterweight title John Ramirez -200 David Jimenez +160 WBA interim flyweight title Arnold Barboza -1100 Sean McComb +650 Junior welterweights Bektemir Melikuziev -1200 Pierre Dibombe +700 Middleweights

A fight between two of boxing's top young stars has been swept up in the cyclone of Garcia's concerning mental state. Garcia's irregular behavior and obsession with conspiracy theories raised the question, "what happened to Ryan Garcia?" Most expect the implosion of a promising young boxer. Some viewers hope this is an elaborate ruse by Garcia, but missing weight by three pounds does not support that theory.

Haney looks laser-focused. The undefeated former undisputed lightweight champion has a legitimate beef with Garcia and is not sympathetic to his foe's unstable conduct. Saturday presents an opportunity for Haney to usurp Garcia's star power. Haney is the champion and more accomplished fighter; however, Garcia's aptitude for social media makes him the more globally recognized fighter. The odds favor Haney as the better fighter in almost every regard but Garcia's speed and signature left hook create just enough doubt and intrigue.
