The promoter Oscar de la Hoya wonders if the chin of Devin Haney can be repaired in the year he has been out of the ring since his defeat against Ryan Garcia last April. De la Hoya believes that the three times Haney, 26, have been abandoned and that the many times he was injured in his fight with Ryan can have permanently allowed the chin.

It is a bad thing for Haney (31-0, 15 kB), which erased its loss by the New York State Sports Commission due to the Garcia positive test for the prohibited Ped Ostarine. However, Haney fights the solid puncher Jose Ramirez (29-2, 18 KB) this Friday, May 2, Times Square in New York. The commission can do nothing for Haney’s chin having been far from this Garcia fight.
Career at risk?
From the Hoya feels that Haney has heart, and he says that that is why he continued to get up after being abandoned by Kingry last April. However, if Haney’s chin started from this fight, the heart will not save him against Ramirez because he will hit him hard all night in the head. He will not take rest breaks as Ryan has done because he has a better engine.
We could see the start of the soothsayer’s career on Friday evening if he was beaten and stopped by Ramirez. This will get worse for Haney against other Welterweight fighters, because many of them strike stronger than Ramirez and are much younger. Haney is too big to return to 140, and even if he was doing it, he would be food for combatants like Gary Antuanne Russell, Alberto Puello and Richardson Hitchins.
“I think so, guess has full hands because it has just come out a devastating blow. So, will he come in the ring thinking: “Oh my God, what has just happened to me in my last fight against Ryan? Wait a second. I have to face Ramirez. What am I going to do? This is a certain confusion in the head of a diviner, “said Hoya during the Big arrival Monday in New York.
Haney will fight as he always does by pricking, by winning and moving. We have seen its formula several times in the fights against George Kambosos Jr. and Regis Prograis. He will try to frustrate Ramirez and stay outside his shooting field.
“Will he hit me? I’m going to be knocked out? Is my chin the same? When you are knocked out as a fighter, you are confidence,” said Hoya. “He (Haney) has shown the heart. The heart is different. The chin, you cannot repair the chin. This removes your confidence. “
He will be hard by Ramirez because this guy was informed by his coach, Robert Garcia, to target Haney’s chin to follow what Ryan did. Ramirez will try to capitalize on what Garcia did to Devin by focusing on head shots.
The analogy of the brick wall
“Let’s say it this way. I can build a wall with bricks and put beautiful cement, water and everything,” said Hoya. “But over time, it will deteriorate. Over time, it will collapse. Can the devin chin resist these powerful punches?
“Can his chin be able to take these left hooks and his straight hands over time. Over time, it’s like shaking a rock. Finally, you transform him into a pebble. See we guess Haney with confidence and chin? I don’t know,” said Hoya.
