Modern York – a rematch between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney was one of the most anticipated fights of 2025, taking into account the circumstances of their romance in 2024. Garcia dropped Haney three times, but saw his decision to set off to the competition without a drug test.

It was expected that their heated competition would be Crescendo in a massive revenge and enhance expectations, they were placed in separate duels in relation to the unique Times Square setting. The plan excluded by the chairman of Saudi Arabia at General Entertainment Authority, Turki Alalshikh, eventually became a complete disaster when the youthful stars turned into bad performances that made Garcia upset Rolando Romero and Haneya in Snooazer against Jose Ramiez.

After what happened on Friday, the only person interested in the rematch of Garcia-Haney was Romero.

“I don’t even think about what will happen next,” said Romero after his unanimous victory. “I think Devin and Ryan should get a rematch and do a huge one.”

Huge? Not after what happened in Modern York. Haney-Ramiąz was the leader of the worst fight of the year, combining 503 blows, the third worst in the history of compublices in a 12-round fight. But Garcia and Romero outdoed him an hour, combining 490 blows. The air was released from the balloon and the issued look between Haney and Garcia was leveled after Romero’s nervousness.

What now?

Alalshikh could still go to the rematch this year, but considering how terrible their fights were, Garcia and Haney would go best in opposite directions until they regain the lost Mojo. It can be argued that the rematch should happen on Friday, without any warrior. But what was done and the time has come to go further.

In the case of Garcia, there will be questions about his performance, i.e. at night and day compared to his fight with Haney last year. Did drugs to improve performance really lend a hand? You can make this, considering how lackluster and uninvolved he looked against Romero. He will have to buy back in the next fight, and he can also be in his best interest that he will go back to 140 pounds. Who the next is fighting, is anyone guessing. But he will need an opponent, such as a hardly striking subject Matias or Liam Paro, who is ready to get involved and offer him the opportunity to land his left hook trademark. Garcia is in a hard place and will have to work tough to rinse the terrible taste of this fight from the fans.

Haney is still undefeated, but he saw his supply fell with a performance against Ramirez. However, he is still a world -class boxer and can return to 140 pounds. Fighting with Teofimo Lopez – who easily overtook Arnold Barboza Jr. On Friday – it may be engaging. Or it can be set in a queue to fight in front of Romero. Although he was not stimulating, Haney is still an extremely talented warrior and deserves a great fight.

Meanwhile, Lopez leaves Modern York as the greatest winner. His fight was by no means stimulating, but he was far from his guilt because he was excellent in Barbozy’s analysis. He has many options, none of which should be against IBF and WBA WBA Jaron “BOOTS” HEADIS, which he appointed after winning in the decision. Instead, he should defend his 140-Funt WBO title. If Haney does not fight Romero, the honor should go to Lopez. Regardless of whom he chooses, Lopez got distance from Garcia and Haney. Now he only needs the right dance partner who supported the pound ladder for pounds.

One thing is certain: on Friday evening he created more problems than solutions. Haney and Garcia must separate and recover the rush before they face each other again.

Correct, 4-F-Ining-AM. What did fans of Great Britain do to deserve it? Every time there is a vast Saudi card, they look like a zombie, while Yanks retreat with beers, and Australians break the meat in a wide daylight.

Undercard?

May 5 in Saudi Arabia

Canelo Alvarez, the largest boxing icon in Mexico, defending his undisputed crown at the Cinco de Mayo weekend … but not in Vegas. Not in Guadalajara. Even in La Nah – this is happening in Riyadh.

The country doesn’t even care. You don’t get Mariachi teams, without tequila, without street parades – just oil money and billboards. It’s like throwing Rave Saint. Paddy in North Korea. It makes zero sense, but here we are.

And although Canelo has the full right to chase great payments, let’s not pretend that it does not seem strange. Cinco de Mayo is to be thunderous, raucous, full of pride and chaos. Instead, we get it in a hyper -mega mega dome surrounded by sand and silence.

What next? July 4 in Iran? Joshua vs. Fury on Christmas Eve in the Tesco parking lot?

Boxing is not global, right. But don’t lie – it’s not Cinco de Mayo. It is on May 3 in Riyadh dressed in red, white and green with a few sombrers thrown on the cameras.

British fans: the most steadfast (and used) base of fans on Earth

Let’s face the truth – boxing fans are British Absolute geeks.
Saudi Card? 4 am. Vegas? 5 am. Tokyo? 7 am. Doesn’t matter. There are – mugs in hand, screaming in Dazna, to stop freezing, pumping fists on the TV in the obscure.

On May 3 they will do it again. Deprived of sleep, buzzing on beer and caffeine, ready to see Canelo’s chest in Pulp.

Here is the exercise:

4 in the morning or not, the British suffer every time. This is what the right fight fans do. Sleep is for random. This is boxing. This is war.

Let’s have it. See you at 4am, you are crazy!

Devin Haney had something to prove. Although he was a former world champion 31-0, Haney was completely thrown a year earlier by Ryan Garcia. Although this fight was considered invalid after Garcia repeatedly tested positively on having a forbidden substance in his system, it was tough not to remember that Haney’s beating on Garcia’s fist of the previous spring. Considering this, Haney’s opponent in the return of the ring on Friday evening at Time Square in Recent York was 29-2 President Jose Ramirez. The fight was scheduled for twelve championship. Haney began to move around the ring in the inactive first round.

Haney remained rather inactive in the second. Ramirez pushed the action again in the third. Although he certainly did not look like a fight, it seemed that Haney was a bit shy. In the fourth pattern of things he fell into the model – Ramirez persecuted and Haney moved. Things remained relatively unjustified in the fifth … and six, Haney may not be impressive, but Ramirez was even less impressive in his inability to catch Haney.

Dominating in seventh place, Haney managed to quit and land a few shots, while Ramirez basically refused to change the strategy. However, at the end of the eighth it seemed that Haney could be more busy. And indeed, Haney was slightly more aggressive in ninth place. However, the fight remained largely fruitless in the tenth. The same can be said about eleventh and twelfth. Haney finished a unanimous win in the decision – but he didn’t look particularly pointed. Despite this, Haney returned from a terrible night a year earlier. Perhaps he just needed shocking with figurative cobwebs.

I hope.
