Terence Crawford Reacts Savagely After Devin Haney’s Big Fight on Saturday

The Ring IV card wasn’t built around one knockout moment or runaway headline — instead, it delivered steady pressure, shifting rhythms, and a lineup where each bout carried its own tension. But within that flow, Devin Haney produced the night’s most noticeable step forward.

Coming off a performance that left questions about pace, presence, and overall urgency, he returned with something far more decisive.

From the opening exchanges, he started a bit tentative, but it didn’t last long. Once he settled in, he began making his mark with real confidence, tightening the kind of execution that had been missing against Jose Ramirez. And while there were still moments where he could’ve done more, the knockdown, the damage, and the Round 2 momentum shift showed he came in with a clearer, stronger intention this time.

That effort caught the attention of the sport’s pound-for-pound king. Terence Crawford took to shortly after the fight and didn’t waste time choosing his words. ‘All that shit y’all was talking about @Realdevinhaney and he went out there and shut a lot of people up once again,’ he posted — a direct, unfiltered response to the criticism that surrounded Haney all week. It was part praise, part defense, and partly a reminder that elite performances don’t always match public expectations.

Crawford’s reaction also fit a pattern that fans and media have pointed out for years — his relationship with the Haney family has always carried a certain level of mutual respect. Bill Haney has spoken openly about admiring Crawford’s professionalism, while Crawford has consistently given Devin credit for taking tough fights.

In the end, Haney’s performance did more than settle the week’s noise — it reinforced why his name consistently sits near the top of every major conversation in the sport. And with Crawford publicly backing him while maintaining the same straightforward honesty he’s shown the Haney family over the years, the takeaway from Ring IV is simple: momentum is shifting again, and the next chapter is already taking shape.
