    Yeah, some dude just corrected me on that. Stupid on my part. That Ugas win has aged really well for sure. I'll watch some more Ramirez leading up to the fight.

    Granados’s biggest weakness is a lack of punching power. After a slow start, where he suffered an early knockdown, he ground Imam down to a brutal stoppage. In Imam’s case, I think he’d have been better served losing by quick KO instead of the beating he took. Given his absurd moniker and dismissive attitude towards previous opponents, I doubt Imam ever fully recovers from the loss to Granados.

    Ramirez is going to beat him easily this weekend...book it!

    Think Postol, Felix Diaz, Molina Jr and Gamboa were all bigger wins tbf

    I like his upside. He has handspeed and power. His defense needs a bit of work, and his machismo will get him in trouble against a skilled puncher. But he is one to watch.

    Regis looked better in his last fight(or a few fight back now) than this time. Indongo had nothing to offer to him.
    Regis vs Ramirez should be a really good one.
    (Imam fights in a style he has no idea how to utilize and should get steamrolled)

    Haven't seen much of Ramirez or imam but Taylor v prograis could be a great fight! Good clash of styles both southpaws and offensive minded. Taylor's defense with his arms in the pocket is excellent and most of this fight would be fought there you'd think..Taylor is huge and would be the bigger man so if he can take Regis power I can't look past him! But after seeing Regis batter indongo I'm not as confident as I was..would be buzzing if this fight got made.

    Indongo has a hideously disgusting old lady glass mandible. That being said, Rougarou is the truth and he's the best current American fighter IMO. The prospect of a match up down the road between him and Josh Taylor who is the current best fighter in Britain is absolutely mouthwatering.

    Good win for Prograis. Most had Indongo rated in/near the top 5 in the division and Prograis simply ran over him.

    Blowouts over a contender and a prospect(Diaz) in back to back fights look good right now.

    It would be nice to see him pushed into later rounds by a good fighter to get a better gauge on him.

    He’s been linked to the winner of Ramirez-Imam which would give him another good opponent to try to add to his record.

    Showtime had several good 140 pounders on this weekend who could be future opponents for Prograis.

    Relikh, Baranchyk, Lipinets, and Barios are all good and probably makeable fights if he isn’t able to land a major one.

    Too bad Crawford didn't stick around. One of his best wins just got trashed by a young up and coming guy. Kind of highlights how weak Crawford's resume is. And lets be honest, he won't be getting any big fights at 147 for a long while. Hate to see a guy leave a division, when it is becoming thicker.

    Where was Mikey Garcia when Crawford was there? Where was Prograis when Crawford was there? Lots of chirping now he has moved up to 147 but it was like listening to crickets while he was there. Indongo was a "big win" merely because he was the key to Crawford holding all 4 titles.

    Seven months was the Crawford vs Indongo fight. Prograis has just whooped Joel Diaz Jr. Garcia had just beaten Broner. Prograis even stated that he wanted a piece of Crawford.

    Didn't sound that delusional tbh. Just kept it brief and simple.

    Maybe not Adrien Broner level delusional, but still not humble. That’s okay, we won’t be hearing too much about the “Young” one after Ramirez “Masters” him this Saturday.

    Don't completely write off Imam. He has a very powerful right hand, and we don't know how well Ramirez takes a punch as of yet.

    Rougarou will beat whoever the winner is though.

    He proved Crawford's win over Indongo meant nothing at all......................fight should never have been allowed to happen, too much of a mismatch............he beat Indongo much easier than Crawford!
