The past and the future of Devin Haney could be fighting against Ryan Garcia, but his present Friday was the dullest fight of A long awaited square card.
The former light and super light title holder returned to the ring with a victory against the former unified light-weight champion Jose Ramirez by a unanimous decision (119-109, 119-109, 118-110) in New York.
