The WBO World Championship Committee has ordered the commencement of negotiations for a jr. welterweight clash between Arnold Barboza, Jr. and Jose Carlos Ramirez, Jr. The parties are granted 20 days to reach an agreement or purse bid proceedings will be ordered with a minimum bid of $150k.
As of now, Teofimo Lopez, Jr., who has declared his retirement, is still officially the reigning WBO junior welterweight champion, however, he has 24 hours to notify the WBO if he intends to keep the title. Otherwise the title will become vacant and the Ramirez-Barboza bout will determine the new champion.
If Teofimo decides to come back within one year, he will immediately become WBO mandatory challenger at 140 pounds.
Dammm good fight, Ramirez wins by UD in an all action WAR!!!
Strip that uffcking clown! His belt should have been stripped the moment he retired! This clowns are damaging boxing!
I think the protocol they’re applying is reasonable.
Ahhh, reasonable. Remember when that was possible amongst theasses?
Kudos to WBO for taking action
action, The WBC would never have done so.
See if Ramirez over prices himself like he did against Prograis. He’s probably kicking himself after Prograis’ last performance. This should be a good matchup. Barboza is a live underdog in this one.
I like Barboza, tough kid, but Ramirez will walk right through him and stop him late. Will be an entertaining bout though as Barboza is all heart. He doesn’t have the power to keep Ramirez off of him.
Should be a decent fight I would like to see them clean out all the bums in the welterweight division teo Lopez and the other phoney,rolly,I would watch that fight just to see one of those bozos get lol’d lol
