Devin Haney delivered a lackluster yet effective showing against Jose Ramirez in the Times Square Fatal Fury co-main event on Friday night.
The first couple of rounds were fairly forgettable, with Haney opting to dance around the ring rather than throw strikes. As the fight progressed, Haney’s striking started to open up, but his demeanor in the second and third rounds continued to baffle commentators.
Early in the fight, it was identified that the velcro on Haney’s right shoe had come loose. It didn’t appear to impact the fighter’s footwork, but his corner finally identified the issue and corrected it just before the third.
