Comments Thread For: Gilberto Ramirez-Dominik Britsch on Crawford-Postol HBO PPV

This cannot be real LOL. It has to be a bad joke.

Arum apparently didn't learn very much from Pac/Bradley III.


He gonna stay taking Ls in 2016 I guess.

[WallabeeKing]

Yeah, just checked and the German dude is not even in the WBO's top 15.

I watched this guy fighting two times with Roberto Santos, first he robbed Roberto Santos, second he was destroyed. This guy is a journeyman with a padded record and the help of judges. So I don't need rankings to know this guy doesn't have the level to get a title shot.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

God. These dudes don't know how to put a PPV card together. Just because I like Crawford and Postol and think it will be a great fight doesn't mean I'm willing to pay $50-75 for it all.

This is going to be a flop if they don't get something good on the card. They'll be lucky to even break 50,000.

he just lost to a 6-3 fighter my god. ramirez doesn't have any power so i think they are trying to find him a stumble bum who will actually go down and make ramirez look menacing

[Herr Schmeling]

Lol! This fight is killing me. I saw Britsch fight live two or three times. First of all, he's no supermiddleweight. He's a small middleweight with no physical strength. He has no power whatsoever. No way Arum choose this guy for Ramirez' first defense. Sauerland probably has an agreement with Arum and that's the only reason Britsch got this fight. No way Sauerland thinks Britsch can win this fight. There's zero chance he can win even a round or a minute of a round against Ramirez. He's much worser than Salka. Salka can fight. He was just way to small. Britsch can't even fight. He's just a complete average joe - but not on world level! Hell, not even on European level. He's an average joe on German level. He's a club fighter and probably the worst title contender ever.

what the ****

i thought they would give him hart (fellow top rank fighter) and try to actually entice people to buy the card

[SnakeVen0m]

Why are people surprised? It took how many years for Gilberto to step up to a decent fighter. Old one at that.

Gilberto knocked out Porky Medina, (the guy who just almost beat James DeGale) when he was 19 years old...Porky was 23-0 at the time.

But yeah, no excuse for this match up regardless...I know options are limited for TR when it comes to opponents but they definitely could've found someone better than Britsch.
