Devin Haney told Teofimo Lopez today on X, “You will get it” once he wins his May fight against Jose Ramirez in Times Square, Manhattan, New York, and his October rematch with Ryan Garcia.
Haney started it by asking him why he didn’t take the fight with Subriel Matias, but he didn’t do it nicely. He mangled Teo’s name, calling him “TeHOE” when asking him why he didn’t face the powerful former IBF 140-lb champion Subriel (21-2, 21 KOs), who is no piece of cake for anyone in the division. He’d be a nightmare for Haney.
Teofimo gave these excuses for not fighting Matias:
- Top Rank wanted the fight on the West Coast. Teo wanted it in New York City
- Placed the fight on PPV
- Offered $2.8 million: Teofimo responded that he’s Top Rank’s “Last star. He mentioned Keyshawn Davis as the apprentice for Top Rank, as their pupil, that they’re trying to transform into a star.
If Haney can beat Ramirez and Garcia in his next two fights, a clash against Teofimo would be a big one if he doesn’t get beaten this year. Lopez hasn’t said who he plans on fighting next, but if he faces Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, he’s likely to lose badly.
He’s already having major problems just trying to beat the 140-pound fighters. He lucked out in his fights against Sandor Martin and Jamaine Ortiz. A lot of people thought Teofimo Lopez both fights.
It would be better for Haney to focus on what’s in front of him right now: former WBC and WBO 140-lb champion Ramirez. This guy might beat Devin and taint his October rematch with Garcia.
Ramirez: The End of The Line?
That fight would happen anyway, given that Turki Al-Sheikh wants to stage it in Riyadh. But it would take a lot of interest out of the match if Haney loses to Ramirez. I’m now predicting that Haney will go 0-2 in his fights in 2025, and his career will be in oblivion.
Devin can still keep plugging along if he gets with promoter Eddie Hearn, who can put him on a Joshua-type four-fight rebuild job to refurbish him to factor specs. Let’s face it: Haney was never that good, to begin with, but he’d done well due to him melting down to fight smaller, at 135, and fought the right guy initially when he moved up to 140, Regis Prograis.
You will get it.. once I beat Ramirez & Ryan you will be next.. but u knew that already u just clout chasing https://t.co/2QXFiZSg8h
