    Let's see if Robeisy Ramirez fights someone on Gary Russel Jr's level next? Right...I don't think so.
    And how I personally scored the fights has nothing to do with excuses.
    If you think he lost the fight with Salido that's ok, but not everyone saw it the same way man. You could argue that it's even more impressive to come back from a loss like that and win a world title when you are 1-1 vs one of the most highly touted prospects.

    Everything I stated about the fights are true. Salido did throw lowblows all-night and he did come in overweight at the weigh in to have a weight advantage. You can keep your opinion and I'll keep mine ok?
    Ramirez was being fast tracked. He, like Loma, turned pro at such a late age after stellar amateur careers. When this happens promoters want to get them in title fights as soon as possible.

    The only people who don’t think Loma lost to Salido have a strange agenda. He lost. Nothing was controversial about the loss. Nothing to be ashamed about or to be explained. It’s not a case of opinion.

    I will say his loss is much more understandable than Ramirez. Ramirez was complete unprepared and looked it while Loma was just took a few rounds to get adjusted to the dirty tactics and rough brawling.

    I don’t think anyone underestimated what Loma accomplished. Ramirez will likely not fight a champion his next fight because he lost. Had he won he may have gotten a title fight early but probably not as quick as Loma.
