Devin Haney is a -1200 favorite against former junior welterweight champion Jose Ramirez (+680 underdog) at Sportsbook in the co-main event of Times Square's inaugural boxing card on May 2, 2025.
This bout, set at a 144-pound catchweight, serves as a pivotal step for Haney as he ascends in weight classes, with a potential rematch against Ryan Garcia looming later this year.

How To Bet Haney
Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) is renowned for his technical prowess, defensive acumen, and strategic ring control. Despite a controversial bout against Ryan Garcia, later overturned due to Garcia's failed drug test, Haney remains undefeated.
His recent focus has been on refining his skills and adapting to the weight class. I honestly think the loss to Garcia gave Haney some perspective to reflect and come out stronger. Still, given his track record, a bet on Haney to win by decision aligns with his historical performance, as his last nine victories have all come via decision.
How to Bet Ramirez
Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOs) brings experience and resilience to the ring. While he possesses notable power, his recent performances, including a loss to Arnold Barboza Jr., suggest challenges in adapting to higher-caliber opponents. To capitalize on a Ramirez victory, betting on him to win by knockout offers the most value, considering his aggressive style and Haney's move to a new weight class.
Haney vs Ramirez Pick
I’m picking Garcia to win by knockout under 9.5 rounds. Romero's aggressive style and power are dangerous, but Garcia’s speed, volume, and power will prove too much, overwhelming Rolly before the fight hits the later rounds.
