Former WBC/WBO gentle welterweight champion Jose Ramirez and Richard Commey have agreed to a contest on March twenty fifth on the Save Mart Enviornment in Fresno, California.
High Rank hasn’t mentioned something to substantiate the information from ESPN, however this can be a struggle that has been talked about for Ramirez (27-1, 17 KOs) wanting after he turned down a title shot towards WBC gentle welterweight champion Regis Prograis.
Boxing followers on social media haven’t reacted favorably to the information of Ramirez taking a struggle with the fading former IBF light-weight champion Commey (30-4-1, 27 KOs) quite than preventing for a world title towards WBC 140-lb champion Prograis.
Followers imagine that Ramirez’s confidence is shot after the mix of his loss to Josh Taylor in 2021 and his harder-than-expected struggle towards Jose Pedraza in 2022.
“Jose Ramirez and Richard Commey have agreed to a deal for a March 25 struggle in Fresno, California,” mentioned ESPN.
Ramirez has good punching energy, however he’s regarded dangerous in his fights recently, and he’s not lively sufficient to remain sharp together with his one-fight-a-year behavior. He must be busier than that if he desires to remain on high of his recreation, and he’s not doing that.
In hindsight, Ramirez made a mistake by not taking the Prograis struggle as a result of he may very well be ready a very long time earlier than he’s given one other title shot.
If he’s hoping High Rank will set him up in a rematch with Josh Taylor for his WBO belt, it may not occur quickly. Taylor has a struggle arising towards Jack Catterall, and if he wins that, he might face Teofimo Lopez.
That’s a struggle that High Rank will doubtless make in 2023 as a result of they’re not going to throw Teofimo in with Prograis after the best way he regarded in beating Jose Zepeda.
Ramirez might want to struggle somewhat higher than he did towards Pedraza and Taylor if he desires to come back out victorious towards the 35-year-old as a result of he can nonetheless punch.
Granted, Commey has seen higher days, as his latest 1-2-1 file in his final 4 fights would attest, however he can nonetheless punch, and Ramirez has no protection in any respect.
He walks straight forward, permitting himself to get hit with nearly every part his opponent throws at him. Towards a puncher like Commey, that could be dangerous.
Commey is coming off a draw towards Jose Pedraza, and earlier than that, Vasyl Lomachenko beat him in 2021.
