Devin Haney (31-0, 15 ko) should bring his long-awaited return this Friday, May 2, against Jose Ramirez (29-2, 18 KO). The match will turn to an epic triple head on Times Square.
In the main event, Ryan Garcia will take over Rolly Romero for the title of WBA Welterweight. If both Haney and Garcia are successful in their matches on Friday night, they will face each other in October. Haney, opposite Ramirez, will be led in a role of 144 pounds. Both fighters think they will be more appropriate for them at that weight.
“I feel good … to have four pounds made it easier to reduce weight. I hope to show new Jose Ramirez. I work hard and I want to show it,” Ramirez said of the role on yesterday’s Open Workout. In his last match against Arnold Barbosa Jr., the weight reduction at 140 was challenging; He feels that he can no longer create that weight. It should be better and as a result should be much stronger.
Ramirez is an Olympian from 2012; Possesses skills that could represent the difficulties for Haney. The questions remain whether Devin is the same fighter after suffering multiple brackets against Garcia last April. How will his chin endure? Ramirez has a decent power, and if he is given the right opening, he could potentially lower the blow to test Haney’s beard.
Devin spent last year improves working on his skills. He understands the mistakes he made against Garcia and worked that he no longer made them. One of the things he will watch against Ramirez is to fight his fight and use his forces to box a technical match. Devin is a faster and more agile boxer and will try to box Ramirez in Domet. Barboza managed to reduce Jose’s insults using the movement and exit and an effective stitch held on the Gulf. He threw 355 stitches, following 79. Haney has one of the best stings in sports, landing him at 25 percent (Compubox).
“The styles are arguing. He does a lot of good things and a lot of bad things there. My job is to get in there and I have handicapped him about the good things he does and exploits bad things,” Haney said of Ramirez. At the age of 32, Ramirez will be tested against 26-year-old Haney. Jose is a pressurized fighter and to be really effective, he will have to find a way to close the distance and cut a ring against an elusive boxer like Haney. “This is a great battle on paper, but it’s a mismatch. Ramirez has a custom style for me. I know he’ll put pressure. If he comes stupid, I’ll put him off,” Haney said from what he expects from Ramirez to fight on the night. Devin must be careful not to overlook or underestimate Jose as he did against Garcia, or
That could potentially cost him again. He has been training for the last year, but he has not competed professionally at the time. For Haney, he could be rusty of the ring. Must remain disciplined and stick to the game plan. Although he faces the aging of a fighter in Ramirez, at 144, he is a legitimate threat.
