Richardson Hitchins chooses Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney to win his fights on the Times Square card in Modern York on May 2. Haney’s return with the former WBC champion and WBO 140-Funt Jose Ramirez (29-2, 18 KO) is the one who he thinks could lose. Ramirez can hit and has an amateur pedigree to win.
The former world champion with two divisions, Haney, was dropped three times by Ryan and probably saved by a judge in the seventh round of the fight on April 20. If Haney’s chin is not the same from this loss, Ramirez will apply this weakness.
Rolly chin
Hitchins believes that former WBA Airy Welter Vereight Rolly champion (16-2, 12 KO) can no longer hit, since he was knocked out by Geront Davis in the sixth round three years ago in 2022. He sees Garcia (24-1, 20 KO) as having too much power for Romero without throwing away.
Richardson thinks Haney and Ryan are just fighting for money and are not worried about winning or improving their crafts. They are now businessmen and take fights that “make sense” financially.
“Rolly, I would like to give him a chance, but his chin is so shot. He can’t stand the impact, “said Richardson Hitchins WarriorTalking about Rolando Romero, the resistance of the impact, will betray him against Ryan Garcia.
Romero has always been a defective warrior throughout his career. Mayweather’s promotions matched him with a needy opposition, and his controversial victory over Jackson Marinez in 2020. Rolly in the ninth round of winning with 40-year-old Ismael Barroso on May 13, 2023. He was equally doubtful.
It was the one in which Judge Tony Weeks stopped the fight after Romero threw a five -member combination that hit the air. Nothing landed, but weeks stopped the action and won Rolly. Barroso stood there: “What just happened?” No review, nothing. The whole thing looked like a WWE sketch.
“After touching the tank, he can’t stand the blow. He is not the same warrior. Even the last fight he fought [Manuel Jaimes] And the danger he had came with all this spark. He doesn’t understand it anymore. So I will give it to Ryan Garcia.
“Ryan is a bigger guy and I feel that he has more destructive power than roll. I think he can take his power more than Rolly Can. As for Jose Ramirez and Devin. Stylistically, Devin should win the fight, but on the other hand I saw Jose Ramirez also gives Devin’s problems. Both guys [Garcia and Haney] He should win, ”said Richardson.
Devin and his father, Bill Haney, must count on 32 -year -old Ramirez, lost something from his game from his best years from 2018 to 2021. Bill is like a vulture, choosing a victim for his son, Devin. Of course, he sees him susceptibility to Ramirez, taking into account Greenlight for this fight. Bill was in the whole fight Regis Prograis and George Cambosos Jr., willing to make these two opponents for Dvin.
Ramirez looks slower, but its power is still the same. He still has a blow and fights with the same high pressure style, which brought him success earlier in his career.
In some respects, this fight is more hard for Haney than his last against Ryan Garcia, because Ramirez does not take off his celebrations. He will keep the pressure on Haney, forcing him to move and defend.
Business movements
“I would like to see Ryan Garcia and Devin play in the second fight. I hope they will do their job. But I don’t really see too many spoilers. If it were, maybe it would be in the fight of Jose Ramirez. I think the fight of Jose Ramirez vs. Devin Haney is a more competitive fight than Rolly and Ryan.
“I think they will be the same. It will be the same Ryan Garcia and the same devin Haney, “said Richardson asked if Ryan and Haney will change his long release to his card on May 2. “It seems to me that they are both in some businesses now. They try to make sense.
“Devin Haney is not worried about many lanes. It’s more like money. I don’t see these guys do things so that their game is so different. I am almost sure that they will be better as boxers, but I do not see it so stylistically that Devin intends to turn into the power or pressure of Mexican to raise his game. I think we’ll see the same guys. “
Hrgovic strongly disagreed and mocked Allen’s approach to the fight while discussing his opponent.
“Yes, that’s his loser mentality. That’s what he achieved throughout his career. That’s why he suffered 10 defeats and I suffered one defeat,” Hrgovic told iFL TV.
“It’s just an underdog mentality. I just take the pressure off myself like, ‘I’m a Doncaster boy.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. I don’t have to win. It puts pressure on him.”
“You know, it’s a loser’s mentality. So OK, I’ll take the pressure. I have to win. I’m a winner.
“He always had this mentality. ‘I’m fat. I don’t train. I don’t need to win. I’m tiny’. Come on, man. Don’t make excuses your whole life. Just train, be professional and go for the win.
“I expect him to be the best version of himself because this is a huge opportunity for him and it’s his hometown. I expect him to be in good shape.
“I think I’m definitely a tougher fight for him than Zhang. Zhang is aged, aged.
“I can also be fat if I don’t train and if I drink beer. I can be fat and be a journeyman and come to every fight and just say, ‘I don’t have to win.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. “
“I think I’m better. I’m faster. I’m better in all aspects of the fight. But you know, it’s heavyweight boxing. Anything can happen and he’s a brave guy. He always comes forward and steps up to the fight. So I think it’ll be a good fight.”
Hrgovic comes into the fight after a tough recent run that has included physical fights with Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce and David Adeleye. He defeated Joyce and Adeleye after losing to Dubois, with both victories coming after tough rounds and bulky rallies.
The fight will be the main event of Saturday’s heavyweight gala in Doncaster.
The situation surrounding all of Oleksandr Usyk’s world champion titles has already been determined before his fight with kickboxer Rico Verhoeven.
The WBC controversially put its belt on the line before this fight, meaning that Verhoeven, despite having little or no chance of winning, could win the belt in May 23 in Egypt.
The WBA announced today that the fight will count as a successful world title defense if Usyk wins, but the challenger will not be able to claim the belt, even if it causes seismic shocks. If this happens, a committee will meet on next steps.
The IBF has taken a similar stance, but while Verhoeven cannot win that title either, the sanctioning body will immediately declare the heavyweight belt vacant if Usyk loses.
The conditions under which Usyk can fight to remain champion are as follows:
1. If Usyk loses on May 23, 2026, the IBF heavyweight title will be immediately declared vacant.
2. If Usyk wins on May 23, 2026, the IBF will recognize the WBC’s position in the rotation and will order an IBF mandatory fight for one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter.
3. If the WBA grants special permission, the IBF will recognize the WBA’s position in the rotation and order an IBF mandatory fight for one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter.
4. The IBF reserves the right to change the mandatory deadline in the event of significant delays in the rotation.
After the fight with Verhoeven, Usyk will be ordered to face WBC mandatory Agit Kabayel, and promoter Frank Warren is sure that he will be stripped of the belt if he does not fulfill his obligation.
