Promotor Oscar de la Hoya says Devin Haney wanted “Test Water” Against Jose Ramirez before facing Ryan Garcia in Rovent on May 2, because in their previous struggle on April 20, he was “knocked out”.
Although the technical Haney (31-0, 15 ko) lost to Ryan by a majority decision in 12 rounds, de la Hoya considers it a knockout.
Avoiding rematch
Haney could live to regret the fight with Ramirez, not to go straight to the rematch with Ryan. Ramirez is still struggling close to the level he had been in his career earlier, and his power is still there. While losing the last fight for Arnold Barboza Jr., the fight was a narrow decision in 10 rounds. De La Hoya says Haney will discover a difficult way that Ramirez is still “dangerous”, and that fight will be a disaster for him.
Haney returns from that defeat against the still dangerous former WBC champion and WBO Light Welterweight Ramirez (29-2, 18 Kos) at Ryan Garcia Vs. Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero Undercard on Turkish Alalshikh’s Fatal Furious event on May 2. On May on Time in New York. The event will be displayed He lives on a given PPV.
One of the reasons could be the way Judge Harvey Dock stopped the action in the seventh round to punish the Garcia point without warning that he had hit a break. It was an unusuality, and the judge did not take the point for his excessive posture. It looked like the judge had saved Haney on his own from a safe knockout defeat.
The whole thing looked very strange. You could say that without stopping the action to punish Garcia, Haney, who was on his feet after he fell.
“Knocked”?
“Devin Haney does not want to come back against Ryan Garcia after being knocked out,” said promoter Golden Boy Oscar de la Hoya in Dazn Boxing when asked why we don’t see Ryana Garcia against Devin Haney on May 2. May 2. “It’s not in a hand book to promote a fight or not in a fighter manual where you knock you with the same guy again after you knock you.
“You have to fight each other to get the confidence for Devin to make sure it is good. What if [Jose] Ramirez burst by shooting him, and he breaks and he knocks out? That can happen, “De La Hoya said.
“That would be a disaster,” Ariel Helwani said.
“I think Devin wanted to test the waters against Ramirez, thinking that Ramirez is not dangerous, but guess what? It’s dangerous,” said smiling de la Hoya.
