Match Details
- Date: 2025-05-02
- Time: 11:37 PM UTC
- Location: Times Square, New York City, US
Game Overview
Devin Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) faces former unified 140lbs champion José Ramírez (29-2, 18 KOs) in a high-stakes clash. Haney aims to prove his durability post-Ryan Garcia's controversial no-contest bout, while Ramírez seeks redemption after a lackluster loss to Barboza Jr. The outdoor venue and timing add tactical pressure.
Key Factors to Consider
- Haney's technical precision contrasts with Ramírez's aggressive pressure style. Haney's questionable chin (exposed vs Garcia) may be tested by Ramírez's 70% KO rate[4].
- First professional meeting. Ramírez holds experience advantage in championship bouts.
- No reported injuries. Haney's recovery from Garcia's beating (mentally/physically) remains unconfirmed[4].
- Unique outdoor setting at Times Square could favor the more adaptable boxer. Early weather forecasts not provided.
- Haney defends undefeated record; Ramírez fights to remain relevant in stacked 140lbs division[4].
