Ramirez won’t sign up. For that reason I hope o’Connor causes the upset

Typical boxing bull$h1t !!!

Jose Ramirez and his team need to be ashamed of themselves if this is the best they can do for an opponent.

A fighter who lost to a shot Vivian Harris in 2013 is getting a title shot in 2018.

Only in professional boxing.

Pretty much! What they don't get is that Fighters become Stars through the hardcore fan base and fighters who go on to be Stars built their reputation fighting the tough opponents early on and separating themselves from the competition. Once the hardcore fan base has Crowned A Fighter then the casuals come along and jump on the bandwagon.

in this case they're trying to appeal straight to the masses, the Casual fans, that don't know anything about boxing which is a disaster for Ramirez and his team. They're trying to use the backdrop of his community work thinking that is going to carry them, but little do they know very few people actually care for that. The masses and fans pay for Pay-Per-View fights and go to fights to watch highly-skilled Fighters square off in the ring. None of the crap outside of the Ring matters. they're going to milk Ramirez and take advantage of the poor fan base in the Central Valley with these silly fights. This is Julio Cesar Chavez Jr all over again! And what a coincidence Mr Bob arum is running the show again.
