Opponents are all TBA.
Good to see Ramirez back, however I was hoping for a different opponent! Seems like Commey keeps getting recycled over and over. He’s not even a player @35 anymore, let alone @40. Looking forward to seeing Estrada! She along with Serrano, Mayer, Taylor and Shields are worth watching!
I wouldnt say he’s recycled but more an obvious gatekeeper. and will keep getting these opportunities being a one-dimensional hard puncher that has a name.
I hope Commey been managing his money well and dont need to take these chances as he gets older (35).
But Ramirez been inactive and might get clipped in this one.
Who else gets recycled btw? Im not even sure what that means.
Recycled as in converting ‘waste’ into a reusable material!
Well that is Top Rank for you. Commey, Pedraza, Barboza. Top Rank getting paid twice and we get the weak fights. Nobody want to see these guys fight
Pretty good main and co-main events on this card and hopefully some of the others are matched tough (it wouldn’t happen here, but hopefully Muratalla and Balderas can fight each other pretty soon).
Commey was a paper champ. He didn’t beat a real champ and won the title against a nobody. He’s the Edisson Miranda of 2020’s without the charisma.
Good cross roads fight. I’ll try Commey. Think he’s due for a great night.
Commey is no gatekeeper. He has technique, power, conditioning, etc.
Ramirez is also technical, has some pop, etc.
Styles make fights and I believe this will be an exciting scrap.
Absolutely Adam.
Could be a good scrap.. Ramirez is the one i would put my money on of i was betting..
