Devin Haney told Teofimo Lopez on X Today, “You’ll get it” Once he won a fight against Jose Ramirez in Times Square in Manhattan, New York, in May, and a rematch with Ryan Garcia in October.
Haney first asked him why he didn’t fight Subril Mathias, but he didn’t do a good job. When asked why he didn’t face the formidable former IBF 140-pound champion Subrill (21-2, 21 KOs), he twisted Te’o’s name, calling him “TeHOE,” who has a crush on him in the division. It’s not a piece of cake for anyone. He would be a nightmare for Haney.
Teofimo gave his excuse for not fighting Matias:
- Top Rank wants the fight on the West Coast. Teo wants it in New York City
- Putting the fight on PPV
- Offer $2.8 million: Teofimo responds by saying he is Top Rank’s “last star.” He mentioned that Keyshawn Davis is Top Rank’s apprentice and their student who is working hard to transform into a star.
If Haney can beat Ramirez and Garcia in his next two fights, a clash with Teofimo will be a big one if he goes undefeated this year. Lopez hasn’t revealed who he plans to face next, but if he faces Jalen “Butz” Ennis, he’ll likely lose badly.
He’s already having big problems just trying to beat a 140-pound fighter. He had lucky wins against Xander Martin and Jermaine Ortiz. Many people think Teofimo Lopez is in for a fight.
For Haney, it’s best to focus on what’s at hand: former WBC and WBO 140-pound champion Ramirez. This guy could beat Devin and taint his October rematch with Garcia.
Ramirez: End of the line?
Considering Turki Sheikh wants to stage it in Riyadh, the fight will happen anyway. But if Haney loses to Ramirez, the fight will lose a lot of interest. I now predict Haney will be 0-2 in 2025 and his career will be forgotten.
Devin could still hang on if he teams up with promoter Eddie Hearn, who could give him a Joshua-style four-fight rebuild to Refurbish it to bring it up to spec. Let’s face it: Haney was never that good to begin with, but he performed well as he melted into size at 135 against smaller opponents and against the right guys when he moved up to 140 The battle was fought, Regis Prograis.
You’re gonna get it.. Once I beat Ramirez and Ryan, you’re gonna be next.. but you know you’ve got what it takes to chase https://t.co/2QXFiZSg8h
