    Bold Prediction...

    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.

    Absolutely possible... I really, really like Ramirez, guy's just got massive heart, a real fighter (and a good man if I'm any judge) but skillwise he's not exceptional at all. I got Postol as the superior technician in this one and unless Jose can find some way of neutralising that jab he's gonna have a tough night of it. Maybe he can break Postol down eventually but he honestly ain't got anything the vet hasn't seen before although Postols age and wear counts against him here.

      Do you like Kell Brook's chances against Terence "Bud" Crawford?

          I think he’s got one chance and that’s no f***ing chance tbh man.

          Brook can’t make 147 healthily anymore, he looks pretty washed IMO and hasn’t had a relevant win for years now.

            I knew that you would say that. I know how you feel about Brook as a fighter. I was only teasing

              I don't know if I feel confident making the same prediction but I do think Postol is very heavily underrated. He had one bad fight against Crawford (that wasn't even really that bad compared to other Crawford opponents) and people just decided he was garbage overnight.

                I would've picked Postol a couple years back when he was a bit fresher, he's the more skilled fighter, but Ramirez has an engine on him and will throw and land more down the stretch.

                    Very bold prediction!

                    Highly disagree with it and think it will be easy work for Ramirez but we shall wait and see!

                    Thanks for the prediction, made me excited for a fight I wasn’t excited about since I saw it a mismatch.

                    We shall see.

                    War Ramirez!
