Coach Abel Sánchez says that José Ramírez will show fans that Devin Haney “is where he believes he is” in terms of talent when they fight on May 2 in a welter weight fight on the billboard of the superstar Ryan García in Times Square in New York City.
Sánchez predicts that the former WBC welter weight champion and WBO Ramírez (29-2, 18 kos) will make it very difficult for Haney (31-0, 15 kO) with his experience, high work rate and pressure.
He is not ruling out an annoying victory for the 32 -year -old Ramírez if his coach, Robert García, has a good game plan to follow. However, Abel expects Haney to win the fight. Ramírez is being brought as opponent to put, even if it is dangerous for Devin.
Haney dismissal
Haney comes from a dismissal of a year and a bad beating in a defeat for the decision of 12 rounds against Ryan García last April. We do not know if that loss has permanently affected Haney’s stab resistance because he was injured with everything Ryan threw from the first round. If there are persistent effects, Ramírez will take advantage of it.
“It’s a great fight, and José will show us that Devin is not where he thinks he is,” Abel Sánchez told Fight Hub TV About Devin Haney vs. José Ramírez on May 2. “Devin is going to beat José, but he will give him the type of fight that Devin does not expect.”
Haney’s inactivity suggests that he knows that it is not what he initially thought it was. His loss against Ryan García last April It was a real humble Experience that took something out of his self -confidence. When a fighter fails as Devin did, he can’t forget what happened.
Haney has probably been reproducing memory per hour of that fight during the last eleven months. If I had not taken A blow of egoHe would have already returned to the ring because he would have wanted to continue making the good money he had before his loss before Ryan.
“I don’t think the fight with Ryan will have any effect on him. Yes, he (Haney) may not be able to take the best chance, but Ryan hits hard. I think he will work a little more in his reach and his defense. But I think José will give him a difficult time. I think he will give him the type of fight he gave (Arnold) Barboza. “
The shots that Ramírez landed in Barboza in his fight on November 16 of last year in Riad would harm Haney, and it is doubtful that he can take them to hit the deck three or four times.
Bombing
Ramírez is not as fast as Ryan, but his blows still packed a blow. What makes them more difficult to take is constant bombardment. He uses a B-29 Super Fortress Carpet Bombard approach In their fights, and it is difficult to take. For a fighter with a glass chin like Haney, it will not last long under the constant bombing of José Ramírez.
“He will only show Devin that it is not what he thinks is. It can be a day, but not at this time. It is not at a level of Gervonta, Shakur or Lamont (Roach), but may be at one point. I think that will be for (Ramírez’s coach) Robert (Garcia).
“Seeing this last fight with Rayo and Russell fought. I think Robert will think about how Haney attacks Ramírez. Ramírez is a better fighter than Rayo. More experienced, I must say.
“If Robert resolves it and brings together a good game plan that Ramírez can follow, you may have it (a qualifying victory for José over Haney). I still think Devin wins a decision. A close decision, but a decision, ”said Abel.
