Jose Ramirez vs Josh Taylor: Who Ya Got?

Remember when you called me an idiot for being able to tell Josh Taylor was in a different class than Ramirez? Lol. Yes and tonight proved he wasn't. Another douche bag call on your part.

Good fight, the best vs the best. That's what the sport should be all about. Pitty the fight isn't getting more attention Taylor ud. 8-4 type of fight. Competitive but with a clear winner.

I like everything about Ramirez but frankly I thought he lost to Zepeda. I think Taylor is going to do the same thing Zepeda did but will get the decision. Taylor UD 12. Looking forward to a great fight.

Bump........ Taylor was trying to get in Ramirez's head at the face off today. Not going to matter, Ramirez doesn't get rattled!

Taylor will find a lot of success ducking under Jose's swings and coming back up with well timed counters of his own. He will do some good damage to the body too. Excuse the pun but Ramirez is Taylor made for him lol. I can see Jose hit the deck once or twice too. LOL, good one. Would be very impressive if Taylor is able to drop Ramirez. I don't believe Ramirez has been dropped yet.

Ramirez all the way. His going to break him down and stop him in the tenth round

Both had a difficult time with Postol. The Postol/Taylor fight was better than the Postol/Ramirez fight because Postol actually stood and fought Taylor head on, not with Ramirez though. That might say something about the punch of Ramirez. Ramirez beat Zepeda and Hooker, I think Prograis edged out Taylor. These two look even with a slight edge for Ramirez.

I will go with Taylor, I just think he can win in more ways than Ramirez can and prefer his body of work. Both fought Postol and I thought Taylor handled him a bit better. Taylor has also beaten Baranchyk and Prograis (a very close fight). Ramirez beat Hooker but was fortunate to get the "W" versus Chon.

My heart says Taylor,my wallet says Ramirez at 2-1 dog too good to pass up

Taylor. He already beat Prograis, the second best man in division. Ramirez is maybe N. 8.

I'll take the mexican on american soil with robert garcia in his corner. Ramirez is probably getting some sparring rounds with vergil ortiz/mikey garcia...you cant get better sparring than that. Ramirez TKO late. Brits always fold in the states.

Taylor wasn’t some outstanding amateur, I think his biggest achievement was a commonwealth gold medal, which is nowhere hear Olympic, world championships or even Europeans levels. His amateur record wasn’t that great either, which is why it was surprising he was matched hard early on, although he did turn pro a bit late. still, I think the Postol is an impressive win after a dozen fights, especially when an older Postol just had a fight with Ramirez that could’ve gone either way. Taylor was the second fighter to beat him, after Crawford. And like I said, it’s not like Taylor was some outstanding Olympian like Loma and Rigo, he was largely unsuccessful in real international amateur tournaments. How many amateur fights did he have? I actually think Postol's performance vs both Taylor/Ramirez showed just how good Crawford is as Postol fought well vs both of them. Either way, Taylor is building a very solid resume. He has the build to go up to WW and compete there as well.

Yes and no. Taylor was 27 when he fought Postol but he has a nice little resume. Amount of fights for fighters who turn pro late is misleading. Taylor had a fairly long amateur career didn't he? Rigo fought P4P Donaire within 10 fights but he had over 300 amateur fights and similar with Lomachenko.

Ramirez didn’t win those fights? Of course he did

Zepada and Postol beat Ramirez and he was gifted wins. Ramirez a normal top 10 super lightweight and nothing more. Gifted wins? No, both were competitive fights. Zepeda had a better case of winning but those were not "gifted" wins.

Impressive that Taylor beat Postol in something like his 12th pro fight. Taylor was matched tough early in his career. Yes and no. Taylor was 27 when he fought Postol but he has a nice little resume.

Watch the fights and score them if you haven’t. A draw would have been generous to Ramirez in both fights. He won both. There's nothing true in this post either.

Yes, 2 of his last 3 fights have ended in controversial majority decisions. Close fights don't = controversial.
