Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor Drops Jose Ramirez Twice, Wins Decision To Unify 140

[VashDBasher]

For all you guys calling Taylor a Eurobum, you need to accept that he won the fight fairly. Yes it was close and competitive, but Taylor did just enough to earn that W.

Great fight!!! The two knockdowns killed Ramirez.

[steeve steel]

Taylor was just better overall in every department. Would like to see Prograis vs Ramirez and Taylor vs Crawford next.

Ye ragin pal? lol

Was there PED testing for this fight? I never read a article addressing this concern. I cant believe this, Jose Ramirez looked completely drained, Josh Taylor himself said so. I remember that BoxingIsGreat told me that his division was awful, I'm starting to think that might be the case, ever since P4P #1. Terence Crawford vacated these titles, all these paper champs had their moment. All I know is that Josh Taylor is getting KO by Terence Crawford.

This fight was great, I saw Taylor win a close fight because of that coasting to much. In the future he have to eliminate coasting to much in the final rounds, especially when he fight another top fighter or the same Crawford. I feel honestly that Taylor is not prepare for Crawford, but I like to be prove wrong.

It's time for Taylor to face Crawford

Kenny Bayless was corrupt tonight. It was sickening to watch.

Kenny Bayless is not corrupt, he's just extremely incomompetent, smh.

Good win for Taylor. Was not surprised that the scores were that close because there were a lot of close rounds that could have gone either way. Clear Victory but again it shows that Taylor is a ten round fighter. He really slows down after round 10. I don't think that he would do well against Crawford especially with all. the holding that he does. I would like him to stay at 140 and take a couple of fights.

Them rough house tactics don't work on Crawford. Horn was successful with that ish on Manny but Crawford quickly shut that ish down. I'd expect him to do the same if Josh tries those tactics.

Cong**** to Taylor he joins Kostya Tszyu and Crawford as 140 Pound undisputed champions.

The interesting part will be to see how long before the IBF orders a mandatory and strips Taylor ( Crawford was stripped within weeks) which takes all the warm and fuzzy's out of having an undisputed champ.

The only time the IBF won't strip quickly is when the fighter in question has massive commercial and crossover appeal (AJ, Canelo ) and therefore makes them enough money to leave a fighter alone.

Taylor hasn't reached those heights so lets see.

I won't let you lie about the IBF. The IBF is strictly by the book, don't matter if you're a star or not.

Crawford got stripped because the IBF mandatory for Lipinets was due even before Crawford got the belt from Indongo.

In fact, Indongo had to write a letter to the IBF requesting permission to unify with Crawford instead of defending against Lipinets because his mandatory was already due. That is of course IBF protocol for unifications as written in their books so credit to Indongo and his team for actually reading up on the rules.

The IBF granted Indongo leave to unifiy against Crawford but on the frounds that the winner would immediately defend against Lipinets Lipinets.

Crawford refused backtracked on that agreement and therefore got stripped.

IBF doesn't pick and choose which rules to apply, the are the one organization that is actually consistent with the rules no matter who holds their belt.
