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 Could 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 desires to tackle the winner of the Ryan vs. Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero conflict. These two are headlining the Could 2nd occasion.
Turki Alalshikh hasn’t stated whether or not the Haney-Ramirez battle will decide who would be the subsequent opponent for the Garcia-Rolly victor. That might be a most obvious manner of doing it.
Devin’s profession could be within the mud if he’s overwhelmed by former WBC and WBO gentle 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 cause 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 destroy his possibilities for the rematch by getting overwhelmed.
Confidence Test
Haney’s self-confidence could also be shot after Ryan mopped the deck with him in that battle, dropping him 3 times in a bloodbath on the Barclays Middle in Brooklyn, New York. That battle could have taken the most effective 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 whole yr if he nonetheless believed in himself? That loss to Ryan could have taken extra out of Haney than simply the bodily beat punishment.
“As soon as I beat Devin Haney, I get the winner of Ryan and Rolly,” Jose Ramirez informed ESNEWS about his imaginative and prescient after his battle in opposition to Devin Haney on Could 2nd. “Devin Haney is a superb fighter, however he fought at 135 in opposition to smaller guys.
“I sparred a whole lot of guys that he fought, like [George] Kambosos. I simply know the kind of fighter I’m. I’m not frightened about anyone. Hopefully, you accepted this battle since you needed to battle the most effective, not since you needed to battle a tune-up,” stated Ramirez about his message to Haney. “If that’s the case, it was a giant mistake. I’m wanting ahead to it. No,” stated Jose when informed that he gained’t take rounds off in opposition to Haney like Ryan Garcia did of their battle on April twentieth final yr.
“I like Rolly,” stated Ramirez, predicting Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero defeats Ryan Garcia within the Occasions Sq. occasion. “Ryan is an effective fighter. He’s quick, doesn’t have too many instruments in his toolbox, however he makes use of them rather well. That makes him harmful. It’s a troublesome battle.”
This might be it for Devin. If he loses to Ramirez by knockout, his profession might be over. For him to proceed on would doubtless depend upon whether or not he may discover a approach to soften all the way down to 135 like within the good outdated days, and reinvent himself in opposition to smaller guys.
