WBC/WBO junior welterweight world champion Jose Ramirez picked up a tough win over Viktor "The Iceman" Postol. In his first bout as a unified world champion, Ramirez came on strong late to edge Postol via majority decision by scores of 114-114, 115-113 and 116-112.

The decision is unquestionable. Sadly, the 'majority decision' will seed claims of a 'close' contest, and worse, 'robbery'. Jose Ramirez boxed superbly, he displayed so many layers in his offense and defense -- I cant believe some people said that this fight was boring???

Apparently, they do not have a grasp on boxing fundamentals and techniques to appreciate Ramirez mastery of the sweet-science. I'm kicking real facts.

The fight was close. It wasn't a robbery. I thought Postol won the early rounds and Ramirez came on strong to win the later rounds. The fight could have gone either way or a Draw. However, I personally had Postol winning a razor thin close fight However, I could see, if others had it going into the opposite direction.

well as long as Bob thinks so... he also had Gvosdyk beating Beterbiev in a near shutout at the time of the stoppage.

Are we still on this? Good grief. All Postol did was land Jabs, nothing else. I don't think some fans realize that this is the pros not the amateurs. In the amateurs scoring is analyzed by who lands any punch. In the pros, and I think some people should read the rules of scoring a professional fight. It clearly states that scoring is not just based on who lands a punch, it's about ring general ship, which Ramirez had control of, he was pressing the fight, it also states, who inflects more damage on their opponent? Which Ramirez did, landing more power punches, hurting Postol several times. The fight was a bit close due to Postol not really engaging and landing some jabs. I'll go with Ward who had Ramirez as the clear winner, I personally had it 115-113 but I wouldn't argue with Ward or the judge who had it 116-112 because Ramirez landed the most telling blows and inflected more damage. I bet if they took a picture of Postol and Ramirez today, you would see who got beat up. As far as Bradley, he roots for that style because that's the way he fought, a guy with no power that uses their jab but never really inflects damage, in the pros for me and what the rules say is who is the fighter the inflects the most damage?, and that was Ramirez my friends, I'm not even a Ramirez fan but he won that fight by at least two rounds.

Ramirez won for sure but it was close and Ramirez damn sure wasn't impressive and that is more credit to Postol who is Skilled with a great Chin

It was a close fight but Ramirez won at least 6 rounds, so he did enough to keep his belts. Hopefully, Taylor gets past his mandatory without any injuries so we can see them fight in December

I had it a draw, but if anyone won last night, it’s Ramirez. He just didn’t look that good in doing it.

Close fight. Good fight. Ramirez is heavy handed.

I’d actually like to see Ramirez vs Prograis. Forget it now Regis dumbass didn’t want to pursue the Taylor rematch. Should’ve signed with Top Rank
