Rico Ramos vs Akifumi Shimoda on HBO July 9

[truestory1987]

This is an interesting match up Shimoda looked good against Li Lee to win the WBA strap and the undefeated Ramos has looked really good recently.....I'm surprised that it will be on HBO

nice matchup ... looking forward

Shimoda looked pretty good in winning the belt although not so hot in the fight before it.

I'm looking forward to this one, Poon will probably face the winner.

rico wins

Rico is my boy. I told him Shimoda would be coming for him since he has his whole country behind him.

This will be a great fight. I expect Rico to be top shape when I see him at training camp.

This kid (Rico) has been waiting for this world title his whole life. He wont let himself or his people down.

This is a great kid, the type that should be getting way more press coverage. Stays out of trouble, very respectful and well spoken. A superstar in the making. I hope you all keep you eyes and ears open for Rico. He is making noise for USA fighters.
