Devin Haney (31-0, 15 KO) intends to return on Friday, May 2, against Jose Ramirez (29-2, 18 KO). The match will be co -authored by the epic triple candidate in Times Square.
In the main event Ryan Garcia will face Rome Romero in the WBA WBA WBA Wawetweight title. If both Haney and Garcia are successful in matches on Friday evening, they will face in October. Haney versus Ramirez will fight a weight of 144 pounds. Both fighters think that they will fit better with this weight.
“I feel good … Having these additional four pounds has made it easier to lower the weight. I hope to show Fresh Jose Ramirez. I work tough and I want it to show it,” said Ramirez from recalling yesterday’s open training. In the last match with Arnold Barboza Jr. Lowering the weight to 140 was hard; He thinks he can’t bring this weight anymore. He should achieve better results, as a result of which it should be much stronger.
Ramirez is an Olympian from 2012; He has skills that can be hard for Haney. There are questions whether Devin is the same warrior after he suffered a lot of knocking against Garcia in April last year. How will his chin last? Ramirez has a decent power, and if he receives the right hole, he can potentially hit Haney’s chin test.
Devin spent the last year working on his skills. He understands the mistakes he made against Garcia and worked on the fact that he did not do them. One of the things he will want to do against Malf is a fight and the operate of his strengths by boxing a technical match. Devin is a faster and more agile boxer and will try to box Ramirez on a range. Barboza was able to minimize Jose’s crime, using current traffic and an effective stab that kept him at a distance. He threw 355 stabs, landing 79 of them. Haney has one of the best stabs in sport, landing at a rate of 25 percent (compubox).
“Styles are fighting. He does a lot of good things and many bad things. My task is to go there and impair him with good things that he does and operate bad things,” said Haney from Ramirez. At the age of 32, Ramirez will be tested against 26-year-old Haney. Jose is a pressure fighter and in order to be really effective, he will have to find a way to close the distance and cut the ring to an elusive boxer, such as Haney. “It’s a great fight on paper, but it’s a mismatch. Ramirez has a style adapted to the tailor for me. I know he is putting pressure. If he comes in stupid, he will put it away,” Haney said about what he expects from Ramirez on the night of fighting. Devin must be careful not to miss or appreciate Jose, as he did against Garcia, or
It can potentially cost him again. He has trained over the past year, but during that time he did not compete professionally. For Haney it may be a bit of ring rust. He must be disciplined and stick to the game plan. Although he faces the aging warrior in Ramirez, at the age of 144 he is a legitimate threat.
