Tale of the Tape

Fight Preview

Former two-weight world champion Devin Haney makes his return to the ring in New York at the start of May. The 26-year-old is still widely regarded as one of America’s best boxers, and he has previously held titles in the lightweight and super lightweight divisions.

There will be a few questions for Haney to answer in NYC, as he steps up in weight for the first time. However, a win could set up a thrilling rematch against Ryan Garcia later this year.

The only blip on Haney’s record came at the hands of Garcia, as the fight was ruled as a win for Garcia, before the result was deemed a no-contest following the winner’s failed drug test.

Prior to that blip, Haney had won all 31 of his professional fights, with 15 wins being recorded inside of the distance. He has held his own against some of the best lightweights on the planet during his career, scoring wins against Vasily Lomachenko and George Kambosos Jr.

However, the step up to light welterweight does raise its questions. Jose Ramirez has been proven at every level in which he has competed, including when representing the USA at the 2012 Olympics.

The Californian-born star has won 29 of his 31 professional bouts, with 18 of his victories being scored inside the distance. However, he does arrive into this bout with questions to answer after losing two of his last fight bouts. But, his knockout power will be a major concern for bettors taking Haney at such a short price in May.

Devin Haney vs. Jose Carlos Ramirez Pick

All the attention on the undercard in May will be on Haney, as he must avenge the setback against Garcia in order to set up a blockbuster rematch.

We expect him to get over the line, but his defense could ultimately be the deciding factor against the powerful Ramirez, meaning that a win via decision is the most logical betting angle.
