Originally posted by b morph View PostI didn’t catch the opening rds, but I saw most of it at the casino.
It looked to me like Taylor controlled much of the action, but Ramirez had his moments here and there. KD’s were big and Ramirez was hurt for sure, but he recovered well and definitely won some of the last rds and had Taylor hurt a few times late. I think Ramirez’s come forward attitude and style was taking its toll on Taylor late, even though Taylor didn’t take too much punishment, Ramirez had Taylor thinking defense too much and Taylor was scoring less.
Looked close, but the right man won.
Does Taylor move up? Or does one of the undefeated guys from Lightweight move up and take on Taylor?
My take is that right now it would be a mistake for Taylor to move up. The fight that is waiting for him at 147 is Crawford. I'm not the biggest fan of Bud, but his pro experience is much more substantial than Taylor and I think he would find holes to exploit. Yes, he's cleaned out the division -- but Teo has been talking about moving up and would be a real challenge. That, to me, seems like a natural matchup in terms of two quality opponents with neither compromising themselves in terms of weight. That said, Teo would probably want to test himself at Jr welter with someone else first.
The same hold true if Taylor moves up to 147 -- no way it makes sense to go straight to Bud. Needs to test himself at the new weight first.

Sid, it's nice meeting you again mate. Congratulations! A Brit finally defeated a Mexican fighter tonight. I know that you are just elated with joy right now. I tip my hat to Josh Taylor on his victory against Jose Ramirez. He performed much better in this bout than he did against Regis Prograis. He managed to drop Ramirez twice which was probably the difference in the fight although I thought Taylor boxed beautifully and won by a larger margin than that.
The only reason for a few Mexicans getting wins was down to circumstances, nothing else. They get wiped out if the Brits are at their best. Hell, even Sam was at the disadvantage as he's really a Welter, not a Middle weight. Taylor being out for so long whilst Ramirez had had some good activity. But they both overcame the obstacles. Taylor would have knocked Ramirez out had the crooked ref not saved Ramirez twice with the extra time bullshlt. They were trying everything to get more titles through their corruption like so many of them already. We both know what happens with a fresh Taylor. And we both know what happens when Brits square off against you cowards the vast majority of the time too. Don't we?

Ramirez wouldn't fight outside of the US. If he did, that would be even more painful than tonight. Your history is shocking overseas.
Taylor wouldn't be at the disadvantage in a rematch because he won't be so inactive. Taylor knocks Ramirez out when at his best. Even tonight he lost 9-3 and got dropped twice.
There won't be a rematch though as it isn't deserved. The only one who does deserves one is Prograis. But lets hope Prograis gets his hands on Ramirez after he ducked twice and all the madness Mexicans said about him. He'd dominate and knock Ramirez out.
However, the advantage didn't pay off tonight. Sorry. You're just going to have to swallow your bitter tears.
