Feel bad for JMM. This PPV will be bad and some will say "see hes not a PPV attraction" but come on this was the main undercard fight and its a debut. Now he will get TBA and this will be bad

they are negotiating with Jose Ramirez

Still an incredible debut opponent and it's against the current WBO I/C champ.... which I don't even know what that is... but will move him up the WBO rankings and put him in position for the 2nd fight title

I can't fault him. Hand injury + having to win by KO + poor money. It is what it is. LOL the the "monkey would dance for that kind of money" comment though.

lol Funny stuff. But Oquendo seems like he was mentally defeated already: "The kid may be a little star, but he's not invincible." Does that sound like a champion talking?
