Comments Thread For: Jose Ramirez vs. Antonio Orozco in Play For September 14

[bigdunny1]

Orozco has flushed 2 golden opportunities down the drain because of weight. First a official title eliminator on HBO 2 years ago and then a unofficial title eliminator on HBO that would of got him a shot last year for one of the belts Crawford vacated. Now he lucked into a title shot on ESPN because the other kid damn near died trying to make weight. If Orozco can just make weight this will be a action filled war. Much tougher fight for Ramirez then the fight that got canceled.

Lipinets has no problem making weight, and he needs a dance partner too!

Very good fight and I hope it's on free TV not any of this ESPN +crap..

The only 'Kingpin' in the welterweight division is the LINEAL champion Terence Crawford P4P #1. Ponytail needs to come out of hiding and face the top dogs at 147 ; Keiph vacated the WBC title to avoid a rematch with Garcia-Porter ( the second time he stalls on Shawn, now Porter has to face Danny ), ducked Jessie Vargas for his 'tune-up' and thats just this year alone -- we don't call Keiph 'Runtime' for nothing.

I have plenty of Americans to cheer for as we ( U.S.A ) are filled with talent, Keiph wont be missed, hes already forgotten and irrelevant.

Bud was the lineal champ and kingping at 140, he's got a lot of work to do at 147 and there's no way he could be ranked above Thurman or Spence or even the winner of Garcia/Porter, because those guys have put in work at 147 for longer.

There's no need for Thurman to 'avoid' guys he's already BEATEN, we sent Shawn to the hospital and left Danny in a permanently salty state. As for Vargas...lol.

Did his fight at Welterweight fall through?

Does Antonio have to give up eating? Arum looking for an edge after swerving Rougarou. He doesn't have any confidence in Jose.

Not true ar all...Prograis team turned down Ramirez fight. Taylor will fight Hooker and Prograis took himself out of contention by entering tournament...who should Ramirez fight #3 ranked undefeated fighter.

I have to admit, the cynic in me wonders if Top Rank made this fight hoping/thinking Orozco won't be able to make weight so they won't take any schtick when they roll out Alberto Puello or Antonio Demarco as the last second replacement

You have to understand that when a fight is cancelled a main event on the biggest stage an incredible amount of money is lost

Obviously, but I can't put it past Arum to secretly hope that Orozco misses weight to have a fill in ready

Orozco has been dealing with weight issues which is why these smart matchmakers at TR are putting Ramirez in there.

I don't know, but I think he would jump at a chance for a title fight, IF ASKED.
