Knock this fool out Ramos and dedicate it to his dad. Not to talk sht, but to show unity. The cards are prefilled against you. This is not a disrespectful comment to this guy or his dad

Don't know how he'll react. Boxers aren't Rock'em Sock'em robots, they are human beings. Sometimes boxers use grief positively. Michael Spinks lost his wife through illness, was devastated, went out & totally outclassed Dwight Mohammed Qawi. Buster Douglas used his mum's death as fuel before he defeated Tyson. Other fighters have found it an intolerable burden, like grief on their shoulder every time they go to throw a punch. I was going to say maybe it was too soon for the kid to be in the ring, but that's insulting, only he can know that.I'm sure almost everyone on this thread will have felt bereavement. You can't know how it will make you feel. Personally, I always found work the****utic so I would've hated being told to go home & grieve. If I'd had any worthwhile skills to be a boxer I know I would've wanted to be in the gym & the ring as much as possible.
