Prograis will beat Ramirez in a similar fashion to Taylor, Ramirez gets tagged with clean shots a bit too much for my liking.
Really rate prograis and tbh I thought he rule lightwelter for abit..he looked the goods..I hope this fight gets signed but tbh I don't see it happening for a few years...if it does I'd pick prograis to stop him
Based on seeing Taylor in against both, if Prograis makes the proper adjustments from the mistakes he made againts Taylor, then I feel he will decision, or even stop Ramirez - especially as Taylor has showed Ramirez can be hurt. Against Taylor, Prograis had a tedency to admire his own work, and although he was not potshotting perse, it seemed that way at times because Taylor's workrate was superior. Additionally (and Regis has talked about this in interviews...), when Josh adapted to fighting at a slightly closer distance 'in the pocket', Regis struggled for a few rounds to adapt to Taylor leaning into him, and his inside strengths, with those wicked short punches. So there are some things for Ramirez to exploit there if Prograis makes the same mistakes. But on the other side, Raimrez doesn't make the opponent think and question as much as Taylor does - he doesn't feint a huge amount, very much "route 1", so I feel he doesn't pose as many problems for the Rougarou, unless he can get inside and work the body early and get a momentum going. But I'd bet on Regis to grind out a 116-112 type decision.
Prograis. I think he would bang Ramirez downstairs and possibly stop him. I would like to see Prograis fight Taylor again, seeing as it was a close affair.
Be an excellent fight, but their respective performances against Taylor show that Regis is clearly better than Ramirez. If there's no corrupt ref there to jump in and save Ramirez, then I would expect Regis to stop Jose.
I like Prograis to land the cleaner, more eye-catching shots en route to a decision win. Ramirez might be getting a bit undervalued here as a result of the Taylor fight, but I think his pressure and work rate would bank some rounds and keep the bout competitive throughout.
