Ryan Garcia‘s win over Devin Haney was an instant classic, and boxing great Shawn Porter is already salivating over talks of a rematch … telling TMZ Sports he thinks the Dream can get revenge the second time around!!
Garcia (24-1) beat Haney (31-1) and shocked a ton of fight fans by winning via majority decision on Saturday … making it the latter’s first professional loss of his career.
Porter gave us some insight into what Haney should do next … and in the immediate future, he believes it’s best the pugilist take a vacation and ignore the critics on social media.
“Do everything you can do to get away from this,” Porter said. “Decompress!”
But, after some R&R — it’s time to train for some revenge.
“When you’re ready, come back to me and we’ll talk about it and we’re scheduling you for a rematch with Ryan Garcia at whatever weight you want that rematch at, at whatever date you want that date to be.”
Porter — a former two-time welterweight champ — also knows how Haney can win, too … re-adjust his “offense to defense” speed to protect himself from the counter move.
“He’s hesitant because he knows that that defense isn’t there after the offense. So, I think that’s something they’ll work on in preparation for a rematch,” Porter said. “That adjustment kinda is all he needs because he’s got everything else.”
“Devin has a humongous opportunity to beat Ryan in the rematch.”
Of course, Garcia vs. Haney II might not happen ASAP … Ryan called out Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz, who currently holds the WBA super lightweight belt, after the win.

Plus, fans want Garcia to have another go with Gervonta “Tank” Davis … or take a fight with Terence Crawford or Shakur Stevenson.
