    Postol will beat Ramirez by decision.

    Postol is bigger, longer and has the better jab. He’s also the better technician IMO. He’s crafty enough to win a close but clear decision. My only worry is his age combined with inactivity, but Postol has certainly mixed it with the better opposition so I feel he should have enough left in the tank.

    I’m currently 3-0 with these, Fitzgerald over Fowler, Taylor over Prograis and Diaz over Farmer. This is probably my riskiest one yet though.
    I doubt it. I think Ramirez is the best 140 pounder in the world now and will beat both Postol and Taylor and Prograis as well. He can box, punch and take a punch and has a high punch per round output.

      I actually have Postol taking this by decision.

      Ramirez is strong, tough, can crack but he's stuck in mud.
      If Postols legs aren't gone and he keeps it long I feel he actually wins quite comfortably.

      Postol typically does very well if you go too him.

        All 3 beat him IMO. Taylor is easily the #1 atm based on resume.

          I'd have to agree,exceptional body puncher as well. I'd rate his wins over orozco and hooker up there with any other win of Regis or Josh's

            Really? Prograis is far better than Orozco and Hooker, so is Postol tbh.

              I'd agree that prograis is better than orozco and hooker but not "far" better in my opinion,never have been that impressed with prograis,idk...as far as postol,meh,pretty good jab and fighter at length and he did beat by boy Lucas but I can see fights between him and the two mentioned going either way..I'd actually favor hooker over postol because of his height n length.

                  I was never that high on Prograis either tbh, but he did impress me against Taylor. He looked far better in the flesh than from what I’d seen on TV. I think he’d stop the likes of Hooker and Orozco. Just a far more dynamic fighter, Hooker and Orozco are both pretty basic IMO.

                  Prograis vs Ramirez would be a great stylistic matchup IMO. I’d probably take Prograis but close fight. I think Prograis would give Ramirez the same sort of problems as Zepeda, he’s another good fighter at 140.
