Comments Thread For: Robeisy Ramirez wants to end Naoya Inoue's historic run: 'He's too small for 126 pounds, you hit your limits at some point'

[garfios]

Ramirez talks a lot for a guy who's about to get beaten once again.

He answered some questions, honestly. Read the article.

In boxing one punch can change the universe. The shot that Pantera hit Inoue with is cause for concern. Inoue felt that.

Yes , it was a great shot but Inoue made the adjustments needed and completely took over after that
Cause for concern , imo , would of been if Inoue couldn’t make adjustments and kept getting caught over and over

[garfios]

Agreed. This time Espinoza might even knock him out.

Well, the only one that really got knocked out was espinoza, or you didn't watch the 5th round? Read the article, he was not boasting, he answered a question.

I don’t see anything wrong with what Ramirez said regarding Inoue. He was respectful and realistic in everything he said. I think we have to see what Robeisy does in the rematch with Espinoza before we can assess whether he’s the guy to make Naoya “look small.” This weekend will mean a lot to two fighters, and to the division as a whole.

Remember that some posters here don't read the article, just the bait title.

Correct. What’s your feeling about the upcoming fight?

Correct. What’s your feeling about the upcoming fight?

Is not going to be easy, there's two things
One, did espinoza performed at his peak and does he have another bullet like that this coming Saturday.
Two, did Ramirez was not a 100% and can he make the adjustments.
I think Ramirez will be ready physically and make those adjustments.
and espinoza will come to overwhelm from the get go, he might get caught again.

I feel Ramirez will be sharper this fight and catch Espinoza clean inside the first half and eventually stop him. People dogging Ramirez is funny. When he is focused and ready he is pinpoint accurate with power in both hands and great ring IQ.

Espinoza is all heart. He has a shot but Ramirez was looking past him in their first fight.

Ramirez is wrong for Inoue. Ramirez moves very well and he hits hard, and he has a damn good chin.

4 pounds isn’t much of a jump. He’d be fine at 126. 130 is probably a jump too far unless he’s on the Manny juice.

My thoughts are similar. I haven’t rewatched the first fight, so I’m going off memory. My impression was that Ramirez wasn’t quite as well-conditioned as he should have been. Could be that he overlooked his opponent, which he has a tendency to do. Espinoza was non-stop, and Robeisy wasn’t ready for that. I think when he dropped Divino in the 5th, Ramirez thought it would all end in a knockout. He was in for a lot more, and was hanging on for dear life at the final bell. I think we saw the best Espinoza had. Robeisy, I think, has a little more. I’m thinking the Cuban will come in better prepared this time, more determined, and look to end this fight early. I’m picking him by KO.

When you’re as small as these guys, four pounds can mean quite a lot. You never know exactly what a person’s physical limit is, but everybody has one. And remember: while Inoue would be maxing out, many of his naturally larger opponents would be draining to make weight.
