Match Details
- Date: 2025-05-02
- Time: 3:00 AM UTC
- Location: Times Square, New York City, US
Game Overview
12-round super lightweight bout between undefeated technician Devin Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) and former unified champion Jose Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOs). Haney's elite ring IQ and defensive mastery clash with Ramirez's relentless pressure and volume punching. Fight occurs at 144-lb catchweight.
Key Factors to Consider
- Haney's flawless record includes recent wins over elite competition. Ramirez returns from a layoff, historically excels against aggressive fighters but struggled against mobile technicians (e.g., Josh Taylor loss).
- First professional meeting. Stylistically, Haney's movement/jab vs Ramirez's body attack creates compelling clash.
- No reported injuries. Ramirez's trainer noted improved footwork during camp.
- Times Square venue adds psychological pressure. Haney's size advantage (rehydrated welterweight frame) could negate Ramirez's natural 140lb strength.
- Haney seeks validation at 144lbs; Ramirez aims to regain championship status. Both made heated remarks during Grand Arrivals.
