This is a terrible message for Haney because he has a tough fight with the former WBC and WBO CHEAP Jose Ramirez (29-2, 18 KO). It could be for Devin, because he probably lost to the ramist and it will end.

Social media fans say Bill Haney He failed his sonDevin, when he made this fight. He should have said so that Dev, fighting with a perilous, well -ordained ramier, because he is real. He is not a guy who has been raised to the status of the championship or did not take his wins from George Cambosos.

Even before Ryan threw a starch from Devin in April last year, Ramirez would be a nightmare type of opponent for him because of his style, power and amateur pedigree.

Promoter Kingry Golden Boy, Oscar de la Hoya, previously leaked that Haney (31-0, 15 Kos) would have to win in the fight with Ramirez on the Times Square card in Fresh York, so that the rematch with Ryan would fall.

Plan B

Garcia doesn’t say what Plan B It will be for him and Devin, if one or both warriors lose in the event on May 2. It will not be a substantial deal for Ryan if Haney is defeated because he has a rematch from Gervont Davis, who could take and earn huge money in this fight if the tank is ready to reach up to 147. Ryan said that he would not fight a tank at 140 because it is too substantial for this division.

My Reyes ON AK & Barak: “So who is next? Is it Devin?”

Ryan Garcia: “It’s devin.”

Akin: “But he must win [against Jose Ramirez on May 2nd]. “

Ryan: “He must win. We can’t look next to our opponents. Yes, we have already faced and we are ready.”

If Haney loses to the ranie, the best he can count on, then a rematch with him to try to save the situation, he revealed his failure. Perhaps, if Devin wins the second fight, Turks Alalshikh may still be willing to fight Garcia at the beginning of 2026.

Threat

Ryan and de la Hoya should not be on Haney’s victory in the fight against Ramirez on May 2. They should look at this fight with open eyes, knowing that Haney’s chin is frail and will probably fall apart under the power of Ramirez. Jose and his trainer, Robert Garcia, have already said that they were scared to Haney’s glass jaw, wanting to knock him out.

This translates into the swinging of the fences with every shot thrown, focusing on getting knockouts. Although Haney will have a year to recover after beating, which he took from Garcia in April last year, it may not be enough for his head to be 100% ready for the captures of the power with which the ranie will hit him.

After an unsuccessful attempt to face Errola Spence Jr. In 2024, Sebastian Funda returns to the ring to defend its WBC and WBO titles of medium weight against Chordale Booker in Las Vegas, in what is seen as a fight for the master. But will the fund be able to win other masters and fully unite the 154-pound division until the end of 2026?

Over two years from the announcement of the fight Chris Eubank Jr. And Connor Benn will finally meet in London in April. The average fight in Nontitle was postponed in October 2022, when Benn obtained a positive result into two forbidden substances. The Eubank-Lin competition dates back to the 90s, when their fathers fought twice in the same medium weight ward. Can Benn win the right to brag and even stop Eubank?

On March 29, in Las Vegas, Mikaela Mayer defends the WBO welterweight belt against Sandy Ryan in the rematch of their fight from 2023, in which Mayer received the title most of the decisions. Can Ryan take revenge?

After four -time competition in 2024, Richard Torrez in massive weight, a silver medalist for the USA in the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020, returns to the ring on April 5 on his first fight this year to face the most notable opponent. Torrez, who has so far detained 11 of his 12 opponents (in December he also has a victory at DQ nad Joey Dawiejko), will face Guido Vianelllo in Las Vegas in his first fight, which played a boxing card. Can Torrez show that he is the best current American great man?

A week later, on April 12, Jaron Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis are fighting to unite two welterweight titles in the battle between unbeatable warriors. Ennis is a favorite by ESPN -700 and should win that he is fighting for his potential.

At the beginning of this month, the former welterweight champion Keith Thurman returned to the ring for the first time since 2022 to defeat Brock Jarvis in Australia by TKO the third round. While the performance was impressive, Jarvis is far from an elite warrior in the 154 pounds division. But did he win Catapult Thurman to the top and get him the opportunity to win another world title?

Mike Coppinger, Timothy Bardley Jr., Nick Parkinson and Andreas Hale answer these questions and more, trying to separate what is true and what is not.

Real or not: Sebastian Fundor will become the undisputed junior lithe champion in 2026

It is not real. On Saturday, the fund should next to Chordale Booker in its first defense of his WBC and WBO titles, including what is the fight. The fund was waiting for Errol Spence Jr., a clamorous fight, which was first planned for October 2024, but then postponed many times, until it was scraped.

The fund gained sedate nervousness when he developed Tim Tiszu in the brutal and bloody fight of Tsyzyu adopted in 11 -day overtaking in March last year. Unfortunately, the fund had not fought since this fight and was unable to rely on the impetus.

Activity will be a real challenge for the fund, which is a high 6 feet-5 1/2 in 154 pounds. The other two owners of titles in Munior Middle Weigh are Bakhram Murtazaliev (IBF) and Terenka Crawford (WBA).

Crawford goes to 168 pounds and the September fight against Canelo Alvarez and will eventually abandon his title in 154 pounds. WBA can always restore Jermella Charlo, his master during the break as a full master. Yoenis Tellez, like Charlo and the Fund, is with PBC and is a momentary champion of WBA.

So if the fund is to be the undisputed champion next year, he could allegedly fight Murtazliev this summer, and then showdown before the end of 2026 against Tellez or Charlo to fully unite. But it is extremely hard to imagine two more unification fights that merge for the funds in 2026.

Real or not: Sandy Ryan promised his close defeat with Mikaela Mayer in the rematch

play

Mikaela Mayer receives a majority victory to become the recent WBO champion

Mikaela Mayer wins the main event thanks to the majority decision to nervous Sandy Ryan and become a recent WBO -secondary champion.

True. Ryan lost to Mayer in September last year, but the victory was overshadowed when someone threw a red paint in Ryan a few hours earlier, when she left the hotel in Novel York to go to Madison Square Garden for a fight. Ryan accused someone of the Mayer team of conducting an attack, but Mayer denied the accusation. The incident undoubtedly restless Ryan in the last hours before the fight for the title of welterweight and you are wondering if it influenced her performance. Mayer won a majority decision with 97-93, 96-94 and 95-95 results cards.

If Ryan can make his plan in a rematch and apply his intensity, he can recover the WBO belt and take revenge sweetly.

“This time I will be fully prepared for everything that comes,” said Ryan in ESPN in January. “What happened before the fight last time meant that I was fighting with anger and it clearly influenced my performance. The world would see a concentrated, determined and talented warrior in the shape of her life.”

Real or not: Conor Benn Will Ko Chris Eubank Jr.

Chris Eubank Jr. lists Conor Benn with an egg at the forefront

Chris Eubank Jr. He hits Conor Benn during their fight before fighting in April.

It is not real. Eubank may not be in a completely convincing form, but it has the size and experience on its side, which should mean that he provides KO, not Benn.

Benn jumps up two weight classes so that this fight is over two years after it was canceled in October 2022 due to the positive Benn test in terms of the prohibited substance. Since then, Benn was confined to two performances in three years, both decisions win against opponents from outside the first 15.

While Eubank suffered a sedate failure when the former world champion Liam Smith stopped him in four rounds in January 2023, he looked malicious in a rematch when he stopped Smith in round 10 in September this year. Smith, a former world champion in medium weight, entered the revenge at the back of four consecutive wins in space and was completely dominated by Eubank, who threw 448 strokes more than Smith, according to Compubox. In October, Eubank recorded victory in the seventh round over Kamil Szereme.

Benn will hope to repeat Smith’s feat in the first fight, but he did not beat anyone from the Eubank caliber. Benn is expected to start a furious start, and Eubank knows it, so Eubank would have to be very negligent to lose this claims of the fight by knockout. It is more likely that Eubank withstands an early storm and uses his better strength to stop Benn in the second half of the fight.

Real or not: Keith Thurman will win the title at Junior Middle Wweight

It is not real. Yes, Thurman looked like the “one -time” aged against Brock Jarvis, who ended a three -year break. But … it is Brock Jarvis is far from the elite younger medium weight. At the age of 36, Thurman is an elite boxer when his CV is littered with more fighters who retired (Manny Pacquiao, Shawn Porter, Robert Guerrero, Josessito Lopez) than actively competing. He can only have one loss in his career, but he is in a division full of teenage, hungry fighters drooling to add your name to their CV.

It is hard to see Thurman beating Vergil Ortiz Jr., Israil Madrimov or Bakhram Murtazaliev, taking into account his recent inaction. Even with his disadvantages, a united champion Sebastian Fund, who is five inches higher and has an 11-inch advantage, would be a physical nightmare for Thurman. I would like to see how he is dealing with someone like the former master Tim Tziu or teenage pretender Xander Zayas before skating him in the field of justified candidates for the title. Thurman still has a lot to prove that he will regain the glory of his escape in 2015-2017, when he reigned as the owner of welterweight titles, and time is simply not on his side.

Real or not: Richard Torrez Jr. is the best current American massive weight

Richard Torrez Jr. he wins DQ after Joey’s mouthpiece fell out

Richard Torrez Jr. He claims that the victory after Joeya’s mouthpiece is excessive, forcing disqualification.

True. I can’t assist myself from a sense of pride when I see an American heavyweight warrior with the potential that appears in the ranks. That’s why I am excited about Torrez. For good reasons he is an Olympic silver medalist. There is Southpaw, such as the United Master Oleksandr Utyk, relatively tiny for the division at 6 feet-2 with excellent speed and foot speed. He does not have the same technical skills as Utyt, but Torrez is dishonest clever with his configurations and attacks, grabbing his opposition. It pushes the crazy pace of battle, swarms from the competition, remaining close enough to fire, does not burn.

Torreza strength seems to be an elite at this level of competition, but we will receive the final answer after improving its competition. However, his combined blow, general strength, dedication and willingness to win are at the highest level, because he has 11 wins in his 12 professional fights. Sure, he fights with several journeymen, but who is not at this stage of his career? It has been planned that so far he had faced the most hard test, his own Italian at 6 feet-6 Guido Vianello on April 5, in a fight, which should provide a barometer in which Torrez is popular. I think that at the moment he is the best massive weight in America. Another claimant for the best American heavyweight, Jared Anderson, who, I think, is the most qualified, seems to have a problem with the motivation to achieve the highest class heavyweight division.

Real or not: Jaron Ennis defeat Eimantas Stanionis to unite two welterweight titles

True. Ennis has this strange outflow and flow, in which one day looks like the future Hall of Famer, and then turns into a performance that makes us wonder if we were surprised in his potential. Ennis’s last trip against Karen Chukhadzhian in November certainly belongs to the second category when he expanded in the third defense of his IBF welterweight title. But I think that this inconsistency is more about the fight of Ennis to the level of his competition than to exaggerate, and Stanionis will find out why Ennis is the next five pounds per pound.

Hitter from Filadelphia Switch is too talented and still has a lot to prove. He knows that everyone is watching, and “shoes” tend to do when the spotlight lithe shines. There is a bit too much for Stanionis to deal with it for 12 rounds, and Ennis seems to encourage the dominant performance.

Inactivity can be a burden in this fight for stanionis. From 2020, Stanionis fought six times while Ennis competed in 10 fights. This is a great opportunity for Ennis, because it is more than able to ask the brilliant performance to unite the titles.

Jai OPTETAI (27-0, 21 KO) will defend its titles IBF and Ring Magazine Cruiser Wweight against the disturbing little-known No. 14 in the Claudio Squeo ranking (17-0, 9 Kos) in the 12-round fight on May 13, live in Dazn at Gold Coast Convention Center, Broadbeach, Australia.

Squeo: Who is he?

34-year-old Squeo born in Italy is a nine-year-old professional who has never fought professionally at a world warrior. He did not have a lot of amateur career, passing 0-2 before he changed the professional in 2017.

The last five Squeo wins

-Orlando de jesus road (16-18-2)
-Nice Speak (17-2-1)
-Belebogang Records (10-5)
-Julio Cesar Calimeno (6-3)
-Gabriele Guainella (6-2)

I don’t know why the International Boxing Federation gave Squeo in the best 15 ranking. Nothing in his CV suggests that he should be near the highest level. Under 100 would be fine, but not #14.

If this is the type of opposition OPTETAI, it will be erected consistently, it can maintain its IBF title in the 1950s. If you are dated, you cannot be too content that such mismatch can be introduced, because it will not bring novel subscribers, unless they only focus on the Australian market. George Cambosos Jr. He is a star in this country and did very little his career.

OPTetai fans on X are not satisfied with the choice of opponent because they wanted to unite with WBA and the WBO Gilberto Ramirez champion, and not another choice of cherry, like his last two opponents, David Nyik and Jacek Massey.

“Jelly inside”

Some people believe that Jai had the fight for life and death in her rematch with Miris Bliedis in May last year, took the best of him, leaving this reluctant risk of a warrior, whom we saw since then.

In this fight, Otetaia looked like an fear when Briedis began the Midpoint attack and dominated the last six rounds with pressure. Fans saw what was lurking in OpeTetia: externally demanding, staring at opponents, But Pure jelly inside.
