Devin Haney & Ryan Garcia Have an Epic Conversation | One on One | GQ Sports

Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia face-off Saturday, April 20 in Brooklyn, New York. Originally, we planned an epic face-to-face conversation with the fighters pre-match, but tensions are so high they wouldn't sit together. Instead, we've got exclusive separate interviews with both. Who has more drip? How long have they been rivals? Why did they agree to this fight? The title-defending lightweight champion Haney and the formidable Garcia offer their predictions for this fight and share some subtle digs about their readiness and strategies.

[@ojukwucharles]

Impressed with the editing 🙂The interviewer for haney sat where Ryan was sitting hence the reason it seems Haney was looking at Ryan and the interviewer for Ryan sat where Haney was sitting. For editing, they removed the interviewers and put the boxers in the frame where the interviewer was sitting to give the illusion that the boxers are looking and talking to each other. Not complicated editing...many youtubers can edit like this but the idea along with the overall production was great.
