    I am so glad I was camping and missed this. Sounds like complete puke material.

    I don't understand the appeal of camping. You're essentially paying to live like a homeless person.

    "I want to live like my ancestors". OK, but there's a reason our ancestors died of natural causes in their 30s.

    Just watched this card this morning. I had Postol 116-112, but could easily see 117-111 also. There was 5 very close rounds(6,7,8,10,11), so I could maybe...maybe...see stretching it to 115-113 Postol, if you were very generous and gave every close round to JCR. But that's it, no way Ramirez won that fight. I've never been overly impressed by him. I thought Zepeda beat him and now I thought Postol beat him.
    The Tartan Tornado is gonna put a whoopin on that ass.

    I had it a draw. Surprised by how wide some people had it to Postol

    2 of the 3 cards saw Ramirez 1 shy of sweeping the last 7 rounds. VP didn't stand a chance.

    lol Andre is so salty that people are calling him out on his 'Taylor can't fight on the inside' take.

    Did Ward criticise Taylor's inside game?

    ''I give Taylor a slight edge against Ramirez just because he's a great boxer and it's no secret that the footwork and the speed that gives Ramirez trouble. Taylor is a willing participant on the inside but he's not very skilled on the inside, that's where Jose Ramirez needs to live''

    Does this fight show how good Crawford is for dominating Postol, or how limited Ramirez is?

    Not really, it just proves that Crawford, who was looking weak before the knockdowns, realized he needed to go on a full scale retreat and running backfoot game, to protect his lead. And forcing someone who's a backfoot fighter like Postol to take the lead is usually problematic for less versatile fighters.

    Taylor's beating of Postol is actually far more impressive, Josh went into his wheelhouse, took a ton of risks and beat him down, not necessarily beating him at his own game, but taking Postol out of his comfort zone, making it rough and forcing him to go to war..

    Ward that had to bore in with his dome & compliment his inside game with Muay Thai clinching & elbows to the eye sockets is criticising Taylor's game!

    Had it 115-113 Ramirez interesting fight reminded me a little of Algieri vs Provodnikov

    My early card was a little like Ward's I had Ramirez in command after a good start but saw Postol roar back with jabs and right hands.

    Good clash of styles I can understand the Postol scores though I dont agree with wide Postol scores.

    I know Taylor and Postol fight nothing a like but I would have to make Taylor the opening favorite here
