I watched that fight a few months ago and I can see a case for the scoring being closer that it is implied by some. I think early on the strength of Ramirez took Pernell off of his game somewhat and the early rounds were close because Pea was on his bicycle the whole time it seemed. He settled down later in the fight and took over but like I said I thought the early rounds were close.

Originally posted by HaglerSteelChin View PostI always thought this fight was much closer than many felt. Ramirez was the aggressor while PW mostly back peddled while using the jab and countering. Ramirez was the champ and kept going forward through the fight and landed some solid punches as well. I could have seen it as a draw and the champ keeps his belt. Ironically, if whitaker won he would have faced Chavez at that time.

One thing to remember about this fight is that Ramirez was loved in France and fought his previous ten fights there. He also had promotional ties to Don King while Whitaker was with main events. Those two factors seemed to affect the scoring more than what happened in the ring. I remember watching it in TV in disbelief.

Wanna see Ramirez humiliated, see what Macho did to him earlier when they both prime.
So Pea Brains chooses fellow Dummy Duva for his trainer, U know, the Dummy who cost Taylor a win vs JCChavez.
Oh they a slick team showboating popcorn flurries until they got tired as Ramirez warmed into the fight, walking Pea into left hook liver shots, that has hanging on for dear life between lowblowing and turning his back and running. Duva the pro supposed to tell Pea, "Don't be walking into them Liver shots," but it's debatable if Pea was ever smart enough to follow directions.
That's why Pea avoided Camacho and JCSr because they couldn't afford the humiliation(Camacho) or being KTFO(Chavez)
That's why it took a hardliner like Frankie Randall to finally take down Sr.

Whitaker outboxed Chavez much more conclusively than Randall only to be robbed once again. In fact, if it wasn't for the points taken away for boneheaded low blows Chavez would have won that first Randall fight.

What does Camacho beating Ramirez have to do with Pea being g robbed in their fight? Your view of this fight is very skewered.

Taylor got two cracks at Chavez because he always comes to fight. Why Chavez ever wanna fight another clown like Pea?

Funny how you failed to address Whitaker outboxing Chavez more conclusively than Randall. You like to skip over facts that don't suit your agenda, huh troll?
