Comments Thread For: Jose Ramirez-Amir Imam to Take Place March 17 at MSG Theater

[Herdis]

It's pretty known and has been said from people in that area that very few people actually pay to go to the Ramirez fight. The tickets are handed out by the thousands and you can find them all over town at grocery stores and restaurants. So it's hard to really tell how much of a real draw he is since no one is really paying to go watch him.

with that being said, there's a lot of free things to do on a saturday night and 13k people dont flock somewhere even if it's free unless it's of interest to people.

I see this as a very good fight. Imam is long and lanky and much bigger than Ramirez. Ramirez rely's on pressure so it'll be interesting to see if he can get inside on Imam and do some damage and it will be interesting to see if Imam can keep Jose away with his reach. Both fighters come forward and fight. Imam has real power where ramirez is mostly a volume puncher. It's a pick em fight for me.

Exactly,. I see Imam beating him...

And Ramirez beat a 5.5 man when he is 5,10.. How has Ramirez beaten to make you think he can beat Imam?

Height is the only thing you're looking on?
Granados was shorter than Imam but beat him.

You are an idiot if you think so...

Why???? Ramirez is the better fighter IMO, much more compact and technically sound.
Try and logically justify why Imam should be such a heavy favourite..
...I’ll wait

A really most seats in Fresno are paid for just saying. Imam is only 1/2 taller and 1 inch reach over Ramirez. Ramirez is likely the hardest hitter in the division ends many fights with body shots. World class sparring partners will attest to his power. Imam has never fought a guy with power like Ramirez.

Who has Imam beaten? Look at the records of who they have fought Ramirez opponents have MUCH better records. How many guys Imam beat with losing record? Ramirez never fought a guy with a losing record.

Ramirez has fought better opponent's and has vicious power. Sparring with Pacquiao, Cotto, Postol, Frankie Gomez ect. Imam is good, but he is a good match up for Ramirez who likes tall fights with a long torso, big target for a guy with maybe the best body shot in the sport. The pace and power Ramirez bring is difficult for everyone to deal with and he is extremely accurate and tactical with his punches.

how is he an idiot for Thinking Ramirez can't stop Imam? Imam struggles with pressure and has already been stopped by someone with less power and less pressure skill than Ramirez. Ramirez completely annihilated Mike Reed who is a good slick fighter. If a slick boxer like Reed couldn't handle Ramirez's pressure how will Imam? Imam's only real shot is to catch ramirez flush with a hard shot that puts Ramirez out.
