Aware that the end was anticlimactic, and people are not liking how Robeisy handled the situation, his team's is also at fault as the trainer Ishmael Salas should had requested medical attention after Robeisy Ramirez directly told him was seeing double. Perhaps he could had continued or perhaps not, but at least the public would had understood the situation better if a professional medic stated the condition he was in and if the fight could be a no contest if the outcome was due to an illegal elbow if the tape was properly ran back.
It was up to him to ensure his wellbeing. Whether or not people agree with how he handled the situation, though quitting in the middle of the round, without attempting to at least keep busy to see if he can continue like many other pro fighters have done, does seem like he isn't willing to go the extra mile if he is at disadvantage.
He is still a big player at 126 and there are still plenty of options like Nery, Carrington, Leo and Ball. It took about 2 years for Roberto Duran to compete at the top level, but Robeisy could likely fight a top-level opponent after he recovers in 2025.
As for Rafael Espinoza, I thought he was making adjustments and was being more effective from round 3 to 6 when Ramirez stucked to a difficult gameplan to follow, moving through the whole ring against a much taller fighter and work the body, Espinoza subtle was also taking a toll on Robeisy, getting caught with shots whenever he was in the ropes and counters whenever RR aimed for the body. He likely would had been in better condition than Ramirez in the later rounds as well. This wasn't Espinoza best performance, but he did have a great outcome showing the dangers there is of fighting tall hard punching boxer like him.
Think Espinoza should attempt to unify against Angelo Leo or Nick Ball whose on the shortest featherweight champions in history, he could also move up against Emmanuel Navarrete, unless Vaquero were to fight O'shaquie Foster. Espinoza vs Navarrete would be a great fight, that could crown Divino as a two division champion that beat Ramirez X2 and Navarrete Or further legitimize Vaquero's career, be a potential Hall Of Famer.
Rafael Espinoza vs Naoya Inoue could also be a wonderful match up, but with Inoue's plans already set up for 2025 before thinking of moving up his fifth division and Espinoza contemplating 130 based on what is the more beneficial option. Difficult to say if they are going to be in the same division.
