Gary Russell younger says it is a sign of inability for Devin Haney to use Jose Ramirez as an opponent of returning in May in his first match from his loss to Ryan Garcia.
Former WBC and WBO Light Welterweight Ramirez champion is the warm -up race to get Haney ready for his rematch with Ryan in October. Former World Champion Haney (31-0, 15 kos) will make a lot of money in his rematch with Kingry and a match in February 2026 against potentially Teofimo Lopez.
Stepping stone
It is still a dangerous race for Devin because Ramirez is better than anyone who has been beaten except Vasily Lomachenko. Russell Jr. He believes that Ramirez’s choice (29-2, 18 kos) as Haney’s opponent marks that his administration is trying “keep” his career.
It is a smart move from the Haney team because it got a lot of punishment in the 12-Strogli loss of a majority decision in Garcia on April 20 last year at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Devin fell three times and suffered an injury.
Would be foolish for Haney to jump right the sharks Immediately 147 after 13 months from the ring coming away. The match against Ramirez will be in Welterweight and Devin’s debut in this weight category, even though it reunites in the 1960s.
The 2012 American Ramirez Olympian was a very good puncher in 140 and can be even more powerful at 147. Russell focuses on November 10 of Ramirez on November 16th.
Barboza Jr expressed Ramirez, but did a good job to do so with his relentless pressure. The scores were 97-93, 96-94 and 96-94.
“With what happened to Ryan, this is not the guy to return and fight,” said Gary Russell Jr. Millcity boxing About Devin Haney who returned against former WBC champion and WBO Light Welterweight Jose Ramirez in May. “Now, I was supposed to fight now. Anyone can get it.”
“Now she looks,” I lost. Okay, I’ll try to fight this there. “They’re trying to keep his career. That’s what people do. I understand. I understand that you are trying to keep your career, but from the inside looking out, Devin Haney and them, you have to do the best for you.”
Russell Jr. It does not give examples of who feels Haney has to fight at 147 for his return. There are not many options for the available candidates in the department. Jose Ramirez will beat most candidates in Section 147-LB.
The only decent fighters of division are Eimantas Stanionis, Jaron Ennis, Brian Norman Jr. And Mario Barrios. Ramirez would give all these problems. Ennis would probably be too much for him, but he would have a great plan to hit the other three champions.
“If this is the route you feel you have to take, then do this. There is a flipside for it. People are like, ‘blasphemy, just lost. He lost and ran. I want to come back, but got to come back Hard now. Now you are back with it (Jose Ramirez). This does not come back hard. You have to choose your poison and do the best for you, “said Russell Jr. about Haney.
“Sometimes,” f *** what do these people think. It depends on what you look at. If you plan to be the big dog, then Nah, “Russell said younger when asked if he was in favor of Haney to fight Ramirez.” But if you are planning to keep your head. “I’ll move on and get what I can get.”
Haney essentially ignores what people think about him, because if he focuses on them, he would deal with someone really dangerous and probably lose.
