With everything to prove following a one-year layoff and a disastrous effort last time out against Ryan Garcia, all Devin Haney did on Friday in his lopsided victory over Jose Ramirez was frustrate those who were on hand in New York’s Time Square or watching from home.
Haney (32-0, 1 NC, 16 KOs), who saw his lone pro defeat changed to a no contest after Garcia failed a postfight drug test in April 2024, did little spark any excitement over a rematch in a dreadful co-main event bout on Saudi Arabian adviser Turki Alalshikh’s first “The Ring” series fight card on U.S. soil. Haney took home judges’ scores of 119-109 (twice) and 118-110 in a fight so void of action or entertainment value that it nearly set a new CompuBox mark for the fewest combined punch attempts.
For as masterful as the 26-year-old Haney was in perpetually motion to all but eliminate the output of Ramirez (29-3, 18 KOs), the 32-year-old former unified champion at 140 pounds who needs both of his feet set to throw his punches. His stubborn refusal to exchange punches to attempt to hurt Ramirez was nothing short of unforgivable from a viewing standpoint.
Was Haney still in his own head after being dropped three times by Garcia last year? Was he too fearful to let his hands go out of fear that he would be countered? We don’t yet know, mostly because the DAZN pay-per-view broadcast decided against interviewing Haney following a fight that was so void in excitement that calling it a sparring match wouldn’t even be accurate.
The two boxers combined to attempt just 503 punches over 12 rounds and connected on just 110. Haney was by far the busier puncher as he outlanded Ramirez by a margin of 70 to 40.
Haney looked good at times for short bursts and entered the fight in tremendous physical shape for this 144-pound catchweight bout that appears to signal a full-time move to welterweight in the near future. But Ramirez simply couldn’t keep up with Haney’s speed and Haney’s refusal to attack him for any prolonged length only made Ramirez look continuing worse because of how woeful his offense was.
Ramirez never landed more than six punches in a single round and landed exactly two punches in six of the 12 rounds. Yet, the veteran boxer was never in trouble a single time as Haney was completely content getting the victory at all costs regardless of what this does to hurt anticipation for a fall rematch against Garcia that the DAZN broadcast announced Friday is already signed for the fall.
Garcia, in his first fight following a 12-month suspension for testing positive for Ostarine against Haney, headlined Friday’s event in a welterweight bout against Rolando “Rolly” Romero.

Tyler Booker contract: How much will the Dallas Cowboys’ first-round draft pick make in the NFL?
The Dallas Cowboys wasted no time locking in their first-round draft pick, offensive lineman Tyler Booker.

Um welchen Star es geht – 100-Mio-Deal! Man City schon einig mit Real

Seahawks rookie camp Day 1: Jalen Milroe takeaways
RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks’ rookie minicamp practice Friday afternoon was like the first day of school for third-round rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe and 70 other players, a mix of draftees, rookie free-agent signees, tryout participants and a couple of second-year pros.For Milroe, arguably the most compelling player of the Seahawks’ 11-man NFL Draft class because of the nature of his position, wearing that No. 6 Seahawks jersey and taking the field were a “dream come true.”Advertisement“It was a great feeling,” Milroe, the No. 92 pick, said after practice at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. “When I walked on the field, I really just acknowledged where I was at. My parents made a joke: ‘It’s like your first day of class today.’ It’s definitely cool to be an NFL quarterback, get my feet wet, get acclimated with everything.”A two-year […]
Is Edmonton Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch any closer to fixing the defence?
The Edmonton Oilers entered the postseason with more roster questions than any true Stanley Cup contender this spring. Injuries were rife across the roster, ineffective play from veterans was a real concern and the goaltending was a question mark.One by one, coach Kris Knoblauch found solutions from the available roster players.AdvertisementGoaltending was solved by inserting backup Calvin Pickard. Knoblauch did it during the Vancouver Canucks series one year ago, so the transition from Stuart Skinner to Pickard wasn’t shocking to anyone. What has been a surprise is the quality of Pickard’s performances. He currently owns the net, and Skinner’s return date is unknown (although likely if the team continues deep into the playoffs).Perhaps the biggest concern surrounded how to replace injured defenceman Mattias Ekholm. He’s slated to return to the roster at some point this spring, but the team needs […]
Dmitry Orlov ready to face off against familiar Capitals foe, this time as part of Hurricanes
RALEIGH, N.C. — In the spring of 2018, Dmitry Orlov helped make happen what many thought impossible — bring a Stanley Cup to Washington, D.C.“Every year you’ve got the opportunity when you make the playoffs,” Orlov said. “I did it once, a long time ago, and you want it, for sure.”It certainly feels like a lifetime ago for the Carolina Hurricanes, who were left watching that postseason for the ninth straight offseason, seeing one of their division rivals lift the Cup a third consecutive time while the franchise spun its wheels.Advertisement“If you look back,” Orlov said, “we still have pictures, videos, celebrations, things like in restaurants with the Cup, the summertime. It was just so much fun, so much craziness. And you’re always going to remember who you played with on that team. How (much) they mean to you.”Sixteen days […]
