  • TEOFIMO!! Ejem? Silence….just the echo, but no reply.
    NOTE: No Pedraza please! Better bring Lipinets or Barboza

    • This would seem like a perfect opportunity for Teo, but I’d be surprised if he took it. Pedraza and Barboza are fighting each other in February. Maybe Lipinets, maybe Steve Spark, Kenneth Simms Jr., Liam Paro.

  • Looks like Ramirez was scared to death Of Prograis and walked away with his tail
    Between his legs.

    • Teo would be perfectly laid out on the canvas against Regis. He doesn’t belong in this division and will get beaten up when he faces the top guys.

  • Josh Taylor knocked a lot of fight out of Jose Ramirez. Shows he needed the protection he’s been able to enjoy.
    Cant imagine guys like Tank, Haney, or Stevenson turning down a shot at a title that they dont have.
    You have to wonder what’s his motivation to keep fighting. Both Ramirez and Mikey Garcia had some hard falls after good promotion to the top.

  • Ramirez was smart to pull out as he has no chance of victory. Prograis would beat him up.
