Detailed Fight Review
One of the most talked-about aspects heading into this fight.
On one hand, boxers like Ramirez — who fight with constant pressure — should, in theory, be ideal for someone like Haney.
Devin is a master of cautious, jab-heavy, second-number boxing, while Jose Carlos has historically struggled against such styles:
Postol, Taylor, and Barboza all created major problems for the Mexican.
On the other hand, big questions remain about how both fighters will perform at the new weight.
Will their power and speed change?
Will Devin’s power increase, or could the extra weight actually benefit Ramirez instead?
Only the ring will give a clear answer.
Devin is 26 years old, eight years younger than Ramirez.
However, both have ample experience.
Haney has fought in undisputed title bouts and defeated top competition.
He went through a grueling test against Vasiliy Lomachenko and faced the size and danger of Ryan Garcia.
Jose Carlos Ramirez was recently one of the two top fighters in the super lightweight division.
He fought nearly every top name there and came within one fight of becoming undisputed, losing narrowly to Josh Taylor.
Expect Jose Carlos to be aggressive and active in the ring.
His style is all about pressure, high-volume combinations at mid and close range — a complete contrast to Haney.
Devin’s task will be to shut down that pressure.
If he can maintain the right distance, Ramirez’s punch output — and therefore his effectiveness — will significantly drop.
What Haney absolutely must avoid is getting drawn into frequent exchanges.
Ramirez throws more and combines smartly at close range, and allowing that would be a strategic mistake.
Clear advantage here for Ramirez.
He fought twice in 2024 — winning and losing by decision, but performing well both times, going the distance confidently and showing excellent conditioning.
Haney hasn’t fought since spring 2024, when he lost to Ryan Garcia.
However, Garcia later tested positive for banned substances, and the result was annulled.
Since then, Devin has been recovering and training — but this fight marks his true return to the ring.
Haney is not a puncher — that’s clear.
Maybe the move up in weight will help his power somewhat, but don’t expect a drastically more powerful version of Devin.
Ramirez, by contrast, is the more aggressive, naturally stronger puncher, especially with body attacks and pressure shots.
The "glass chin" myth about Haney is more fiction than reality.
He got up after heavy shots from Ryan Garcia, absorbed everything Lomachenko landed, and generally holds up well.
The only real concern came against Jorge Linares — but even then, weight cutting and Linares’ elite punching power were big factors.
Ramirez holds up about the same.
Yes, Jose Carlos has been dropped before — but he recovers quickly and usually absorbs punishment well overall.
Both fighters were born in California, but the fight will take place in New York.
There’s no clear advantage here in terms of fan support or any hometown favoritism from the judges.
Polar opposite situations.
Haney is returning from what was essentially a defeat.
He needs to come back strong — the Garcia fight significantly damaged his reputation.
Ramirez, meanwhile, is also coming off a loss — but he’s been there before.
For him, this fight is a chance to climb back to the top, reenter the title scene, and secure multi-million dollar bouts.
The levels of pressure are very different.
A loss for Ramirez wouldn't be a shock — but a win would be a triumph.
