Regis Prograis will beat Ramirez easily.

Ramirez really isnt a bad fighter. In fact, I think he's the third best guy in the division behind Prograis and Taylor.

I do think Rougarou beats him, and clearly, but I feel like Ramirez would give a good account of himself. His chin seems very good, but then again, would be interesting to see if he could handle Prograis' power all night.

I think Regis win would win a clear decision, but probably not an "easy" one.

 

Am I the only that isn't impressed with Regis? Dude is utterly average.

 

I believe Ramirez will be a Crawford opponent sometime next yr.. Bob is known to mix and match his 140 and 147 fighters often.. And with a belt Ramirez would be seen as a credible opponent for Buds 147 title

 

I agree. He's nothing really special. I could see Taylor and Ramirez beating him. I see it as a pretty open division right now with Taylor probably being the best.

 

Prograis knocks Ramirez out but Josh Taylor is different cup of tea. He is very doggish in that ring but so is Prograis. Somebody gets knocked out and I don't know who.

 

Dramatics aside, I dont think those guys are stopping eachother. I'm thinking Prograis-Taylor, Prograis-Ramirez, and Taylor-Ramirez would all go the distance.

 

I favor both prograis and Taylor over ramirez and feel bob wanted to eliminate one of those guys and clearly held ramirez out of the tournament for good reason.

Prograis looked good vs Flanagan. Patient, good head movement and feints and worked behind a strong jab and looked to counter.
Ramirez doesn’t have the style or defense to beat prograis. Bob will keep him away.

 

I'm not huge on Prograis.. After the other night I'm picking Taylor to win the tournament now.

 

What made you make this decision based on his performance? Looks to me he did what he wanted in there and could have turned it up if he wanted.

 

I m a big Josh Taylor fan but thought prograis looked really impressive. Was going to lump a fair bit on Taylor to win the wbss but I reckon it could be a tough fight if he meets prograis in the final. Still think Taylor wins but it's hard fight that prograis could potentially win as well.

 

I still think Ramirez is a stylistic problem for everyone at 140, including Prograis. In my opinion Prograis, Taylor & Ramirez appear to be the top three at 140. At the conclusion of the WBSS we should have a top two, hopefully they meet.

Ramirez' style is very active, he won't be as easy to subdue or consistently counter as some believe and if you don't slow him down, you run the risk of being drowned in his energy.

Prograis done his bit, he looked good against Flanagan. On Saturday we get to assess Taylor VS Martin. I'm not going to lie, although putting pressure on my belief of how good Taylor is, I can't see anything other than a comprehensive win for Taylor on Nov 3rd. Martin's style is made to give you different viable ways to win the fight, and still look good with Taylor's skill set.

Prograis impressed me against Flanagan, he deserves the role of favourite and number one seed. Appears to be a good kid too, I like him. But I wouldn't write Ramirez off against Prograis just yet, he's still improving.

 

Ummm... based on the fact that hre shutout Flanagan, and beat him up without having to kick it into a second gear?

Who's to say Taylor would have done any better against Flanagan?
