Devin Haney: Will he awaken the welterweight division?

Bill Haney says he will wake up the 147-pound division, as his son Devin did with the lightweight, light welterweight division. Haney (31-0, 15 Kos) could fall apart before cutting his teeth at 147 in his next fight with Josera Mirez in May.

Ramirez test

Devin’s battle with former WBC and WBO light welterweight champion Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOs) is a coordination to prepare for a rematch with Ryan Garcia in October. Haney has to go past 32-year-old Ramirez to generate interest in the rematch.

Turki al-Sheikh will probably still have a rematch for Haney-Garcia. Jose Ramirez Devin, but in such circumstances there is no interest in the fans.

“If we were defeating Ryan, if it was supposed to be when he was working well in the fight, then the rematch is worth more money,” Bill Haney said. thaboxingvoiceWe look back at Devin Haney’s defeat to Ryan Garcia in April last year.

“If we were burning (he) and it was crucial in victory, no one would pay for the fight again. But thank you to Turki al-Sheikh for stepping up. There’s a controversy being sold and everything that’s going on is in the welterweight division.

“We know that the welterweights historically have made more money by the Sugar Ray Renners, Duran, Errol Spence, Terrence Crawford, Floyd, Burtos and Keith Thurman.”

Bill is right about the rematch being more valuable as Devin lost. If he beat Kingley as many people expected, especially if the victory was one-sided, like Haney’s victory over George Cambosos Jr. and Regis Progrey, the second time. The fight becomes pointless. The loss last April was a kind of person to work with Devin.

Haney has ruined herself by not continuing to work for the past 10 months since her loss, as she was able to fight millions in the second round. Former two-division world champion Haney suggests that he has the confidence and disgust at risk for the mega money that can be played in his rematch with Ryan.

Bill talks about former greats Leonard, Duran and Mayweather, but those guys remained active. They wouldn’t have done what Honey did if they had been beaten. If Devin was cut from the same fabric as those fighters, he would have returned to the ring by now and fought one of the top candidates at the 140.

Welterweight Gauntlet

“So Devin has brought excitement to the lightweight (division). He is hoping to wake up the 140-pound division and take over the 140-pound division. That’s the same,” Bill Haney said. I said that.

For Haney to make his mark at 147, he needs to prove himself against Jaron’s “boots” Ennis and Eymantas Stanionis. These are the best welterweights. It’s not enough for Devin to defeat WBC champion Mario Barrios. MarioBarrios is considered the weakest link among the divisional champions.

1. Jaron Ennis
2. Eimantas Stanionis
3. Brian Norman Jr.

At this point, Haney didn’t think he could beat WBO champion Brian Norman Jr., and he is undoubtedly the third best of the Division belt holders.
