Lomachenko Fighting Jose Ramirez (25-3) In Debut?

[Mikhnienko]

Latest rumor is that Top Rank is looking to have Vasyl Lomachenko make his pro debut against Jose Ramirez on the Bradley vs Marquez undercard in a 10 round fight. Ramirez has a record of 25-3, is ranked #7 by the WBO at Featherweight and holds the WBO International Featherweight title.

If it's a 10 round fight then it won't be for his title but would look to be a set up for the Salido vs Cruz winner.

Here's a Highlight of Ramirez's last fight against Bautista

Lulz Didn't realize. Is that him?

Can a Pinoy explain to me why the loan words used are English instead of Spanish? Considering the history one woud think the opposite would be true.

Good news, hopefully Top Rank have it worked out that the Salido-Cruz winner can take Lomachenko as a voluntary defence.

If that's true... that's a hell of a debut.... harder than the Thai's and Indonesian fighters.
If this is true, this is just to set up a title fight in his second fight.

Damn, even Rigo, who had a far more accomplished amateur career, didn't get thrown in thid deep so soon.

Potential 2nd fight for a title, mad props.

if anybody remembers the begginning of his career, rigondeaux had a ton of changes to make before he was a viable pro. it's a testament to his abilities and work ethic that he was able to develop an effective pro style in so few fights, because early on he was very inconsistent.

i do think lomachenko is a bit more suited for pro boxing. he's also got a style that's easier to market than rigo, and a potential russian fanbase stateside.

Bob's really got a stranglehold on these gold medalist. That's the third 202 Gold Medalist he signed. He also has pretty big markets to follow under: China, Japan and Europe

No. Pretty much the same but if you are going to compare Vasyl won a Val Barker, took less losses and probably fought stronger compitition in his divisions. (Toledo, Selimov, Valdez, Verdejo, Vodopyanov, Stankovic, Ramirez, Gaibnazarov, etc)
