Tim Bradley says that Devin Haney’s performance against Jose Ramirez last Friday at the Times Square in Recent York was not a box. Suggests that Haney (32-0, 15 KO) has “PTSD” From the trauma he experienced while fighting Ryan Garcia last year and this affects his ability to perform.

He noticed Haney’s change from how he was involved in the way he performed last Friday against Ramirez (29-3, 18 KO). However, Bradley thinks that Haney should still force himself to fight challenging because he received millions for the fight.
His task is to “entertain” fans and he feels that he failed. Although Haney won the 12-round unanimous decision, his output power was low. He threw out only 224 shots, landing 70.
PTSD factor?
“Listen to me. I’ll tell you something. PTSD is a real boxing thing,” said Tim Bradley Fight Hub tv Asked if he thought that Devin Haney’s performance against Jose Ramirez last Friday evening was worth millions of dollars, which he received.
It seemed that Haney closed mentally against Ramirez, showing the behavior of avoiding during his 12-round fight against Ramirez. Some fans say this is a pattern of behavior of the former Vet from PTSD. They become passive and lose the fight they had when they were on the battlefield.
The fire trauma remains with them. Haney’s behavior looked a bit like a PTSD person. Of course, he is not near the warrior he was in the last three fights with Ryan Garcia, Regis Prograis and Vasily Lomachenko. Something has changed.
“However, this is a wounded business. It is an absolutely hurt business, senior, and you receive a payment of millions of millions of dollars to give us a show. Not only to give us a show, but also to win and look good as possible, as possible, as possible, actually fight,” said Bradley.
Haney could forget that he must have fun, or maybe Bradley is right about the belief that he was showing signs of PTSD; He was unable. This is not something that a person can control. The trauma causes flashbacks and this is not something that a person can simply break free from themselves. They cannot be rejected and be who they were before the traumatic event.
“It wasn’t boxing”
“So, considering, do you feel that Haney did? Do you feel that it was better boxing? Do you feel that in my book he spread his ears?
Haney did not box against Ramirez. It was really working and it was tough for carefully selected VIP fans in the Times Square ring and many who ordered it on Dazn PPV. Haney reportedly earned $ 10 million to fight Ramirez, but it was not enough for him to take the risk.
Tim Bradley believes the growing connections between Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson and Zuffa Boxing have less to do with avoiding certain opponents and more to do with the extraordinary financial opportunities currently available in the sport.
Speculation about Haney and Stevenson potentially joining Dana White’s boxing venture has increased in recent weeks, with both fighters having no long-term promotional commitments.
“No one will be able to pay them that amount. It doesn’t matter, wherever else they go, they won’t make that kind of money,” Bradley said on his YouTube channel.
“We remember and we go back to the time when PBC was founded, they were overpaying the players. Eddie Hearn is on DAZN and they started overpaying the players. It’s a period right now for these players, especially at the highest level, if they want to make money on the book, this is the perfect opportunity now.”
“With that in mind, this is why I see Haney and Shakur Stevenson signing on that dotted line,” Bradley said. “How they do it is another matter. How they arrange the contract will be another matter.”
“You only make money like this once in a lifetime. This is a great opportunity for both of these guys because of the type of life-changing money they will receive.”
Stevenson fulfilled his promotional obligations with Matchroom earlier this year after previously leaving Top Rank, leaving the WBC lightweight champion without a formal promoter. Meanwhile, Haney has largely pursued his career alongside his father, Bill Haney, having previously worked with both Matchroom and Top Rank.
Any move involving Haney could still be complicated by his position as the WBO welterweight champion. The sanctioning body recently confirmed that his mandatory against top contender Keyshawn Davis is next, despite discussions about other potential fights.

As Tyson Fury searches for an August opponent, fan-favorite four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr. advises “The Gypsy King” to stay away from two rumored opponents who he believes “could crash the party” ahead of his highly anticipated fight with Anthony Joshua.
Although AJ is scheduled to face Kristian Prenga on Saturday, July 25 in preparation for his clash with Fury, the latter is yet to announce who will be in the opposing team’s corner for his next fight.
As a result, many names have been linked to an attempt to thwart Fury’s plans for a “Battle of Britain” between himself and “AJ”; with Nelson Hysa understood as the current “leading option”.
However, both Andy Ruiz Jr and Jarrell Miller were also mentioned for away corners. I’m talking to Betting showroomJones told Fury to avoid both men, believing that any “real challenge” could foil his plans.
“I know what they’re doing and I understand the warm-up fights for both of them. I just hope they’re warm-up fights and not real challenges, because if they’re real challenges, no one will win.”
“It happens every time. Every time they fight a real challenge, before they start fighting each other, someone gets defeated.
“So I hope they take real warm-up fights and not real fights, because if they take two real fights, someone’s going to lose. I hope it’s not Andy Ruiz and I hope it’s not ‘Huge Baby’ Miller for Fury.”
“I think Fury can really beat them both, but Andy Ruiz ruined the party on Joshua’s side one time. Please don’t let him ruin the party again.
“Miller is no bum either. Both Miller and Andy Ruiz can crash a party.”
Devin Haney may have his sights set on the long-talked-about fight against Shakur Stevenson, but the WBO has made it clear that another opponent is on the agenda.
Haney and Stevenson recently exchanged messages online in which both men appeared ready to face each other at the 144-pound catchweight division. With neither fighter currently scheduled to return, speculation surrounding the matchup quickly escalated.
However, the sanctioning body maintained its position regarding Haney’s responsibilities as WBO welterweight champion.
“Devin must next release himself from his mandatory duties,” the WBO said Ring.
The statement was released after Keyshawn Davis was elevated to No. 1 in the latest WBO welterweight rankings following his decision to begin his full-time campaign at 147 pounds. The Ring reported that Haney’s mandatory title defense is scheduled to take place in August, leaving little room for alternative plans if he intends to retain the belt.
Keyshawn has already hinted that he is done competing in the welterweight division after victories over Jamain Ortiz and Nahir Albright earlier this year. He later reinforced that commitment by turning down the opportunity to fight Lindolfo Delgado for the vacant IBF 140-pound title.
Haney publicly acknowledged Davis as a potential opponent, but also maintained that the highlight would be the fight with Stevenson. Meanwhile, Stevenson insisted that any fight between the pair would have to be at the 144-pound catchweight.
If Haney fights Stevenson next, it appears the WBO is ready to strip him of his welterweight title. If he wants to remain a champion, the organization’s message remains unchanged: Keyshawn Davis comes first.
