Comments Thread For: Jose Ramirez Tested Tough, Wins Majority Nod Over Jose Zepeda

[Califire209]

Just left the venue had legit seats and I noticed Ramirez get a little flustered after that crazy headbutt referee did not do anything about the constant holding from zepeda

Ramirez has no defense and is just a brawler and will be schooled and beaten when he fights a legitimate fighter

Super close fight

Difference being experience

Zepeda would start rounds well then fade.

Even in round 3 he had it in the bag then backs up in a straight line to the ropes and Ramirez tagged him with a left hook. Seemingly small lapse of focus like that could have cost him the fight. he didn't use his legs enough in latter half of the fight. You can say it was because he was tired but getting close and wrestling is also tiring.

Zepeda is much better than a nobody. I think he would beat Relikh and Baranchyk.

Orozco is also a very good fighter who could do well against some of the 140 WBSS guys and maybe these guys are better off without the WBSS which has shelved fighters for over 6 months.

Just here to see how many posters had Zepeda winning.

I feel this way as well. Just seems like zapeda’s work wasn’t emphasized while Ramirez work was over emphasized.

Absolutely. I liked that once in awhile Bradley would at least give Zepeda some credit...but I get the feeling the commentators were told to side in Ramirez's favour...Be careful not to give Zepeda too much credit. I always appreciate Bradley's honesty though.

About 70% had him winning.

I have no idea of people see in Ramirez. He is basic AF and clearly avoided the tourney. I hope he fights someone but I feel Arum will keep him fighting nobodies until Bud.

I think as long as Ramirez continues to sell tickets in Fresno, Arum will keep him as far away from Bud as possible. Because what Bud’s gonna do to him will severely damage his ability to be a draw, even in his hometown. Arum will tease a Bud fight. But I think it’s much more likely that Ramirez is keeping a belt warm for Lomachenko whenever Vasiliy decides to make the move to 40.

OK, then I’m not crazy.

He won that pretty clearly in my eyes to be completely honest.


At worst a draw. Close but clear.
