Haney found himself floored in said round but was handed a stay of execution by the ref as Garcia was docked a point for hitting his opponent with a right while he was on his way to the canvas.

Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney Still Went the Way It Should Have
Despite losing a crucial point, Garcia got the win over Haney, knocking him down again in the 10th round with a powerful right.
He landed a counter left hook in the following round, decking Haney once more. Haney amazingly managed to get up. Garcia went in for the kill, but Haney was able to hold him off until the final whistle.
“It was a horrible ref,” Carcia said after the win, per ESPN. “[Haney] was holding me for dear life, and I felt an opportunity to keep swinging while my hands were free and I cracked him. And then he took a point away when I cracked him, but [Haney] held me and then I should have knocked him out in that seventh round.
“They stole that from me. … And Devin was holding and holding and holding. … That was ridiculous. That was crazy. I never seen some S- like that.“
Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney certainly lived up to the billing, as it was one of the more entertaining fights we’ve seen in a while, though fans would have preferred the knockout route. Haney, who showed admirable grit after getting floored three times, admitted he was disappointed with himself after the bout.
“I’m disappointed about my performance,” he said. “I [showed I] was a true champion and I could fight after being knocked down.“
“He caught me early when I was sleeping on him. He caught me by surprise. I fell asleep on the left hook. … I gave him a shot. It’s only right he gives me a shot back.“
