Devin Haney says he’ll use the aggressive stress fashion that Jose Ramirez makes use of in opposition to him once they meet on Might 2nd of their 144-lb catchweight struggle, on the welterweight at Occasions Sq. in New York Metropolis.
In line with Haney’s previous fights in opposition to stress fighters, he’ll use these techniques to take care of the previous WBC and WBO gentle welterweight champion Ramirez’s stress:
– Frequent clinching– Jabbing– Shifting– Staying low when throwing punches– Wrestling
These are all of the instruments that led to Haney beating Regis Prograis, and allowed him to keep away from being knocked out by Ryan Garcia.
Should-Win State of affairs
Haney says he should win this struggle in opposition to Ramirez to get the rematch with Ryan Garcia. If that’s true, Devin goes to have a ton of stress on his shoulders.
I simply marvel how his dad, Invoice Haney, will deal with this. He’ll be having kittens and stressing out watching Devin battle in opposition to Ramirez. That large cash struggle in opposition to Ryan using on the end result of this struggle. Invoice can be a nervous wreck. The transfer upwards to the swank neighborhoods within the Hamptons on billionaires row, Beverly Hills, the Platinum triangle, all at stake. If Haney loses this struggle, the place does he go?
Potential For Ugly
It could possibly be a really ugly struggle if Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOs) doesn’t know learn how to take care of these unfavorable instruments that Haney will use to negate his stress. Jose possesses the facility to complete what Ryan Garcia began in opposition to Haney final April when he dropped him thrice.
The one query is, can he get to him to land with out being jabbed, held, and mauled. If there’s referee working, he’ll pressure Haney to struggle by warning, and taking factors off, however that’s unlikely to occur. Even Haney hadn’t fought Garcia, Ramirez is a troublesome struggle for him along with his fragile chin.
These are techniques that the previous two-division world champion Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) used successfully in his hardest fights of his profession in opposition to Ryan Garcia, Vasily Lomachenko, Regis Prograis and Jorge Linares. The clinching that Devin used in opposition to Ryan and Kambosos arguably ought to have resulted in factors being deducted, however the referees selected to not do something about it.
“He is a rugged opponent. He’s not an easy fight on paper, but it’s for me to make the fight easy,” stated Devin Haney to Ring Journal about his Might 2nd undercard bout in opposition to former WBC and WBO gentle welterweight champion Jose Ramirez.
“I want to use his weaknesses against him, use his pressure against him. We know he’s coming in there to pressure,” Haney continued about Ramirez. “Simply showcase all my abilities in opposition to a troublesome fighter that comes ahead to indicate the world I’m a fair higher Devin Haney than I used to be.
“If I don’t win this fight, I don’t get to those fights [Teofimo Lopez, Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero and Ryan Garcia], especially the Ryan fight,” stated Haney.
