Jose Ramirez and Maurice Hooker Close to Finalizing a Deal for July 27

[Jubei]

I dont think Ramirez is all that good, he is a big fanbase though but as a fighter? Good but will get beat by the best at 140 (Taylor, Prograis and possibly Hooker)

Hopefully this fight happens and we get closer to have a unified champ at 140.

Yeah, the Farmer signing was obviously to entice Davis, but Davis aint coming. Think Hernandez has his eyes on the WBC so hes OK there. Russell Jr fight is again using him as a pawn, hes going to lose both fights (Davis) who offers the best deal to do so, lol.

Hearn aint paying him all that cash for another 3 fight deal to fight puddings. Davis is the most lucrative, but he has to cross the street and lose security.

The life of an alphabet beltholder

I think Hearn would still re-sign him just to have another tilteholder but it's not going to amount to much. Will be like the first four fights of the deal....underwhelming.

You also have to match Farmer with a certain style to make the fight entertaining. Berchelt would be that guy, but he's also someone who will likely beat Farmer. But if Hearn can somehow get that fight on DAZN? That would be great. I think Tank gets either GRJ or Farmer next. If we get GRJ vs LSC? Then Farmer likely goes to SHO for the Davis fight. At that point it the Farmer experiment will likely be finished unless he has a really good showing or pulls off the win. If he does that? Then complete game changer.

If Farmer re-signs with DAZN, I wouldn't be surprised if he goes up to 135 as there are some options there for him.

Fingers crossed it gets across the goal line. Would be big for Bob letting a champ of his fight on DAZN, could open up a lot of possibilities. Ramirez/Hooker is also a great fight that will have a ton of action.

Edit: Also, this coupled with Prograis/Flanagan in the WBSS Final would mean we would be 1 fight away from another complete unification of 140!!!

Bingo. This excites me because I can see the division being unified after this bout and the WBSS finals.

Ramirez isn't fast, cant punch, and has no special effects. Easy win for Hooker.

Great fight for DAZN. Now they need to get a fight in August. Maybe Bivol vs. Browne or Usyk vs. Takam?

[Randall Cunning]

Apparently the fight is actually done, and will get announced at some point tonight

am I missing something? hooker isn't any good he's already been beaten and gotten a couple of gift decisions. I thinks ramirez takes it plus he has the advantage if the fight goes to the score cards in texas.
