Comments Thread For: Gilberto Ramirez Willing To Face Chris Eubank Jr. in The UK

I don't believe it was fully his decision. Ramirez can't fight wherever he wants to fight vs whoever he wants to fight. He needs Arum to sign off on it. I legit don't know if Ramirez wanted in it or not, but I know if I'm Arum & I'm running my business like he runs his business there is 0% chance I'm letting Ramirez fight in a WBSS tournament OR any of my other fighters.

And its no surprise to me no Arum fighters were in either of those WBSS tournaments & their won't be any in 2018 either no matter what divisions get chosen cuz Arum would be an idiot to sign away rights to anyone with the way he operates.

Lomachenko will join if there's something close to his weight going on. No Bob Arum can stop him, Arum also couldn't stop him from fighting Salido in his second pro fight. Let's not make too many excuses for fighters.

135 is one of the most likely divisions from the sounds of it, but I don't look for Loma to be in it.

Loma does have more ability to push to get his way as you're suggesting with the Salido fight, but Arum has shown the desire to keep things in house so he's not likely to want to put Loma in a tournament that could end hurting his hype if he were to lose or get hurt or w/e & Arum has no or lil upside (idk how exactly the WBSS is keeping in fighter promoters involved, but I don't believe any of the shows have been co-promoted as of yet its all a Sauerland operation).

I just don't see it happening. I believe its too much of a gamble even if Loma is the most likely to win the tournament. I would be curious to know the upside any of the promoters who had fighters in this year were "in" on anything beyond the usual cut of a fighters purse when they fight for an outside promoter that I believe is standard.

Why does Ramirez mention the WBSS and wanting to fight the winner every time someone hands him a microphone? Why did he not join the tournament, easy money if those other guys were bums? Why does he fight even worse fighters for less money?

LOL cuz Arum ultimately wouldn't let him like I said. I'm sure Arum gave Ramirez a nice lil phone call when that whole thing got announced last year & told him all the reasons it wouldn't be a good idea. Maybe even convinced Ramirez it was Ramirez's own idea.

Fighters ain't scared of cats like fans think. Fighters actually tend to have TOO MUCH confidence in themselves if anything on average.

I'd love to see this fight. Chris Eubank by KO.

If Eubank Jr were to win the WBSS and beat the likes of Ramírez, Benavidez, De Gale to unify the super middleweight division he would be right up there with Joshua.

Shut the hell up! He did not stop the Salido fight because Bob Arum planned and promised Loma that fight, and to make him champion immediately, Arum wasn’t happy that Salido kill any chances for the Juanma vs Gamboa fight. He wanted revenge, Salido had other plans. Salido has derailed Bob’s plans twice. So to answer your ****** assessment, why would Arum prevent Loma fighting Salido when he wanted him to be humiliated? Different scenarios with Ramirez.

What's eating Gilberto's G****-irez should fight Lemieux

[Morrie ATG]

Been calling it.

[petero]

Most of the fighters in the WBSS are bums.

The best are Ramírez, Benavidez and Eubank.

Murray? Groves? Pure ****.

Racist a hole
