Comments Thread For: Gilberto Ramirez Decisions Vlasov, Still Work In Progress

[Teetotaler]

Ramirez looked like a hype job in that fight.. The kid is decent but def not the next chavez jr, more like the next Marco Rubio

Chavez jr sucks bro. Ramirez is only 23-23 he still can be a big player in the division. He did just fight a light heavyweight. A high ranked one at that

Chavez jr shouldve just fought him for that last fight and went on his merry way..coulda pissed Bob off even more

The factor to consider is that Vlasov is not as easy as many thought since he had only one defeat on 31 fights besides being taller than Ramirez (1.93 vs 1.89 Mts.) It really looked than Vlasov was the bigger of both (I didn't hear tonight weights). The Russian was a good test for Ramirez who is only 23 yrs old and it is still possible that with a good trainer, the young Gilberto could improve and be ready for the top on the division.

And forgot to mention that Vlasov is actually a LHW. So all things consdered it was not a bad fight for Ramirez.

Ramirez needs some defense, but he'll be OK. I don't think he's ready to make that next step, but he'll learn a lot from tonight.

[dirty fingers]

Work in progress? He's already at his peak. He'll continue to be showcased against low level fighters and hyped up like he's improving though. We've seen this story before. Yawn.

It is like Ramirez's brain gets his feet in the right places, but then it tells him to just stand there and not do ****.

[CTC JOHNNY]

This kid needs to learn something about defense

[HEND]

He shouldn't think about real top names in 168 yet. Dirrell, Ward and maybe Degale would outbox him all night and Froch would wear him dow. However he would make and entertaining dogfight with the younger Dirrell, Chavez or Groves. He has a chance against Abraham too but against real top names (Ward, Andre Dirrell, Froch) he would fail.

why are people pretending that chavez jr is good? did i miss a bunch of his fights in the last couple hours?
