Comments Thread For: WBC Orders Jose Zepeda-Regis Prograis Vacant 140-Pound Title Fight; Jose Ramirez Aims To Face Winner

Excellent matchup, although I'm a bit disappointed by Ramirez stepping aside. The guy can't reschedule a wedding for a chance to be world champ again?!!

Go back and watch the knockdown. Not only does the ref, NOT shout break at any point. He also doesn't physically break them up. In other words there was no break. Only in the minds of people who can't get over their guy getting schooled. In fact it was a long count and Ramirez probably should have been counted out. So what you meant to say was, Not only did Ramirez lose to Taylor, but he actually should have 3 defeats on his record, as he lost to Zepeda and Postol also, and was fortunate to get those decisions. I like Ramirez and would like to see him win a title again, but he's been a bit fortunate in the past.

You're wrong.

140 can take the lead in boxing. Cryan Garcia and Teo Lopez are there. Devin Haney, Rolly Romero and Tank Davis are on their way. Prograis, Ramirez and Zepeda

Glad to see Prograis back in the mix! Hope Ergashev gets back in the mix too! 140 is on fire!

Don't forget Subriel "Browny" Matias, Gary Antuanne Russell, and Brandun Lee!

The belts fragmenting following an undisputed champion either moving up or being forced to vacate can sometimes be a farce (see the WBA's ordered fight at 140), but sometimes it can lead to intriguing matchups. This is definitely a fight worthy of becoming a titlist (as was Ramirez-Zepeda).

You're wrong.

Actually I'm not. If Kenny Bayliss shouts break, and Taylor then throws, you'd have a point. Bayliss did not call break. If Bayliss decides to physically intervene and step between them, then that is a break. He didn't do that either. He started to go between then changed his mind and stepped back allowing the fight to continue. Protect yourself at all times. Jose did not. It was a schoolboy error and Taylor punished him for it. Plain and simple. So, not wrong, just facts.

Ramirez got screwed by Bayless that fight. That fight should have been a no contest. But that's what he gets for signing with TopRank. He thinks he's too good for GoldenBoy, he gets what he gets.

Explain to me why it should have been a no contest please.
