Jose Ramirez says Devin Haney made a mistake if he selected him as a tune-up opponent for his or her 144-lb catchweight battle on Might 2nd on the Deadly Fury card at Occasions Sq. in New York Metropolis.
Garcia-Romero Objective
Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOs) states that he’s going to be attacking Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) nonstop with out taking any breaks like Ryan Garcia did final April. Jose says that after he defeats Haney, he needs to tackle the winner of the Ryan vs. Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero conflict. These two are headlining the Might 2nd occasion.
Turki Alalshikh hasn’t mentioned whether or not the Haney-Ramirez battle will decide who would be the subsequent opponent for the Garcia-Rolly victor. That will be a most obvious approach of doing it.
Devin’s profession could be within the mud if he’s overwhelmed by former WBC and WBO mild welterweight champion Ramirez, as this battle is meant to be a warm-up for the big-money rematch with Ryan Garcia in October. Some imagine the only real purpose Haney selected to take a seat on the sidelines since his loss to Kingry on April twentieth final yr is that he didn’t wish to break his possibilities for the rematch by getting overwhelmed.
Confidence Examine
Haney’s self-confidence could also be shot after Ryan mopped the deck with him in that battle, dropping him thrice in a bloodbath on the Barclays Heart in Brooklyn, New York. That battle could have taken the very best out of Devin, leaving him on this risk-averse state.
Why has Devin chosen to relinquish his WBC 140-lb title, and sit inactive for a complete yr if he nonetheless believed in himself? That loss to Ryan could have taken extra out of Haney than simply the bodily beat punishment.
“Once I beat Devin Haney, I get the winner of Ryan and Rolly,” Jose Ramirez informed ESNEWS about his imaginative and prescient after his battle towards Devin Haney on Might 2nd. “Devin Haney is a superb fighter, however he fought at 135 towards smaller guys.
“I sparred a lot of guys that he fought, like [George] Kambosos. I just know the type of fighter I am. I’m not worried about anybody. Hopefully, you accepted this fight because you wanted to fight the best, not because you wanted to fight a tune-up,” mentioned Ramirez about his message to Haney. “If that’s the case, it was a big mistake. I’m looking forward to it. No,” mentioned Jose when informed that he gained’t take rounds off towards Haney like Ryan Garcia did of their battle on April twentieth final yr.
“I like Rolly,” mentioned Ramirez, predicting Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero defeats Ryan Garcia within the Occasions Sq. occasion. “Ryan is a good fighter. He’s fast, doesn’t have too many tools in his toolbox, but he uses them really well. That makes him dangerous. It’s a tough fight.”
This might be it for Devin. If he loses to Ramirez by knockout, his profession might be over. For him to proceed on would probably rely upon whether or not he may discover a method to soften right down to 135 like within the good previous days, and reinvent himself towards smaller guys.
