José Carlos Ramírez vs. Viktor Vasylovych Postol & Arnold Barboza Jr. vs. Tony Fernando Luis RBR.

Taylor gonna smash him to bits. Had it 8-4 Postol. Ramirez ain’t anything special. Taylor will show him levels.

 

He is 100% a first-ballot hall-of-fame "gentlelady of the night".

 

I missed this fight but o course the white European was robbed in favor of the Hispanic.. Boxing promoters are obsessed with that fan base as if the rest of the world and other ethnicities dont exist

 

Plenty of swing rounds in that fight. I had it 114-114 but I think 116-112 either way was reasonable. You knew Postol wasn’t getting that decision.

Ramirez looked very ordinary though. Not impressive at all. Taylor will beat him comfortably.

 

I've not watched it but from what I'm reading the cesspool has returned.. if he was jobbed I feel for the guy, because at 36 & after a long lay if they just jobbed him of the titles that's fkin horrible man, same old story by the sounds of it tho ,

 

It truly is sick isn't it?

it's so predictable it's stupid at this point.

 

Just watched the fight and that was the wrong decision. I had Postol winning 8-4. Feel sorry for Postol. If Ramirez fights Taylor now, which I really hope happens, then Taylor wipes the floor with Ramirez.

Really pleasantly surprised by Postol, up on his toes, using the ring well, still looks fresh as a daisy at 36… frustrated the hell out of Ramirez. Should be a two time champion now! One criticism I have is he doesn't throw his right hand nearly enough.. anyway, Postol was the craftier boxer here while Ramirez was the stalker looking to land big shots. Over all I think Postol implemented his style the better of the two even though Ramirez was the more heavier handed between the two.. another fight that demonstrates how effective the job is in boxing!

Ward was an embarrassment. Smug self righteous *****, talk about disingenuous.. first 4 to Ramirez!

 

Postol got robbed.

 

I need to watch this, seen different scorings but most seem to suggest a close fight that Postol edged. Wouldnt surprise me as Postol has proven to be a world class operator and with the exception of Crawford has gave everyone real problems.

Even Taylor struggled badly with him and was losing up until the late KD turned the tide. Ill watch and score this tonight but Postol is another guy people wrote off after one fight and continue to do so ever since because boxing fans can be fickle.

Still some good fights for Postol in the division. Wouldnt mind him in with Prograis, Baranchyk or Relikh. Its not the greatest division in boxing currently but theres so good fights out there.

 

Just watched this and after the first 4 rounds where Postol was clearly in control, I was already resigned to a JCR points win no matter what happened. I had it 116-112 VP for the record.

Alas, we best get used to the fact that while Covid is still knocking about the only a chance an underdog has to win a fight is to clean knockout the favourite, as the paymasters simply can't afford to have the bigger fights down the line collapse.

Somehow, boxing has decided that it wasn't corrupt enough before the pandemic and has decided to try to reach the lofty levels of corruption of lower level tennis. It's seriously saddening. Commentators in every fight I've seen the last month have been disgraceful, as if they want to keep their job they have to toe the line too. Even when the unwanted shock happens ( Pov last week ), all we got post fight was how Whyte dominated every second and he'll just come back and right the wrong. It's a bad time for boxing that's for sure.

 

Not to make this into a race thing, but funny how being white in boxing isn´t that good at all.

 

I don't see how Ramirez beats Taylor.
