American Ryan Garcia floored Devin Haney three times in a majority points win over his compatriot on a dramatic night in Brooklyn, New York.<\/p>\n

Garcia\u2019s left hook was his greatest asset as the previously unbeaten world champion Haney was floored in the seventh, 10th and 11th rounds.<\/p>\n

Scorecards of 112-112, 114-110 and 115-109 saw the decision go to Garcia.<\/p>\n

The Californian, however, did not win Haney\u2019s WBC light-welterweight title after missing weight for the contest.<\/p>\n

You really thought I was crazy? You all lost your own minds,\u201d said Garcia, who had been criticised for his behaviour in the build-up.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old had posted a series of erratic, often unsubstantiated and defamatory social media posts in recent months.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou guys overegg everything,\u201d Garcia added. He extended his record to 25 wins and one defeat, while it was Haney\u2019s first pro defeat in 32 bouts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m disappointed about my performance,\u201d a marked-up Haney, 25, said. \u201cI [showed I] was a true champion and I could fight after being knocked down.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair had shared the ring six times as amateurs, with three wins each, but it was underdog Garcia \u2013 who missed the weight by 3.2lb \u2013 who stole the show in the pro ranks at the Barclay Center.<\/p>\n

The sight of Haney on the canvas was becoming all too familiar. He was open for the left hook and Garcia obliged in the 11th.<\/p>\n

\u201cI fell asleep on the left hook. We trained for it but I got in there and fell asleep,\u201d said Haney, who has also been undisputed champion at lightweight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI gave him a shot, it\u2019s only right he gives me a shot back. He didn\u2019t make weight, so I\u2019m still the champion. We can run it back.\u201d<\/p>
