Hello from BoxingScene O.G. David Greisman. I'll be your friendly neighborhood live-blogger for the rest of the evening. Thanks to editor-in-chief Tris Dixon for taking us through the opening hours of the show.
Up next is Devin Haney against Jose Ramirez. Both men have a lot to prove.
For Haney, we're going to need to see how much he's improved defensively from the fighter who got hit, hurt and dropped repeatedly by Ryan Garcia a year ago. Even though that version of Ryan Garcia had his peformance enhanced by ostarine (and by not making weight), Haney showed significant defensive flaws.
Will Ramirez be a suitable test? He's a former unified junior welterweight who's only lost to two fighters: Josh Taylor for the undisputed championship and Arnold Barboza last fall. Ramirez seemed to be on the decline against Barboza. But he thinks this fight being at 144lbs, instead of 140lbs, will help him out.
