He just didn’t want it with Barboza jr. Do not mix, and the only way to read it is to see it as ordinary old -fashioned fear. Teo is afraid. He knows what Barboza jr. Can do his career if he struggles like George Kambosos Jr. Four years ago, and he doesn’t want that to happen.

Some people believe the top rank has been artificial since his loss of Kambosos, and he deliberately connected to the opposition to win him and to use his popularity in Brooklyn, New York.

Haney-Ramirez

“I think because of his last battle with me, people write him down. But I put my money on (Jose) Ramirez now, ”said Barboza jr. Said when asked about his thoughts on a fight between Devin Haney and Jose Ramirez on the fatal Fury card on May 2. “It’s going to be on a catch of 144, so he’s going to be less drained at weight.

“Who knows how Haney is at that Ryan who beats, because he beat. That s *** was no joke. He did open his jaw. Once your jaw is so open, who knows how to recover. I think this is the perfect battle for Ramirez. I won him, I honestly do and I root for him.

“I’ve told him that I was going to help him in the camp to spare him. We talked about it. Hopefully he pulls it off, ”Barboza jr. About Ramirez said in his fight against Haney.

Many people believe that Devin Haney (31-0, 15 COs) makes a mistake of fighting Jose Ramirez in his first fight after recorded a beat by Ryan Garcia on April 20 last year in the Barclays Center.

It would be strange for Barboza jr. To save with Ramirez after defeating him with a unanimous decision of 10 round on November 16 last year. Barboza jr. Dominate the first half of the fight, but Ramirez arrived in the second half to make it at the end. The scores were 97-93, 96-94 and 96-94.
