Comments Thread For: Robeisy Ramirez wants to end Naoya Inoue's historic run: 'He's too small for 126 pounds, you hit your limits at some point'

My thoughts are similar. I haven’t rewatched the first fight, so I’m going off memory. My impression was that Ramirez wasn’t quite as well-conditioned as he should have been. Could be that he overlooked his opponent, which he has a tendency to do. Espinoza was non-stop, and Robeisy wasn’t ready for that. I think when he dropped Divino in the 5th, Ramirez thought it would all end in a knockout. He was in for a lot more, and was hanging on for dear life at the final bell. I think we saw the best Espinoza had. Robeisy, I think, has a little more. I’m thinking the Cuban will come in better prepared this time, more determined, and look to end this fight early. I’m picking him by KO.

He didn't overlooked him per said, I think has more to do with family matters back in Cuba.

Well, the only one that really got knocked out was espinoza, or you didn't watch the 5th round? Read the article, he was not boasting, he answered a question.

I watched the whole first fight very attentively, and came out with the idea that Espinoza is the one with superior willpower between the two (as also demonstrated by the very 5th round; not many fighters would have been able to get up from that perfect right hook). That's why I think he's going to repeat the win. Obviously I could be wrong, and I'd be the first to admit it if Robeisy wins.

My reply to the other poster was just irony, in the sense of "yeah, good talking, nice analysis, but before you speak about fighting Inoue try to avenge the Espinoza defeat first".

Hope this is clearer for you now.

Good point about willpower. I got the same impression. That kind of grit can take you well beyond the limits of your talents. Espinoza’s determination, height and work rate are a tall order (no pun intended). Ramirez has to be supremely conditioned for the sequel, and be mentally ready for a prolonged war. If he does both, I believe his superior talent and power will give him the edge.

I could not put it better.

He is láser focus on espinoza, he answered a question that's all. The title of the article it is a bait. Win, lose or draw we should have a good fight to watch.

I believe The Monster beats Ramirez. Ramirez won't be able to handle the power. Ramirez has to win his fight first of all, then look forward.

Inoue v Casimero is the fight fans want

Didn't Casimero retire recently on facebook?

I like Robeisy and considered him the best of 126 as of last year and if he can avenge his loss to Espinoza I still consider him to be the potential top guy of 126. What he said was polite and not insanely delusional or anything.

That being said, the last time Robeisy talked about wanting to unify and face Inoue he was upset by Espinoza so I'm not liking the jinx.

So, they had already fought 12 rounds, and the only one that was hurt badly was espinoza, to the extreme that ten more seconds left in the round and the fight would have been over. Ramirez went down more from exhaustion than hurt, and you're stating that he won't be able to handle espinoza's power. From where do you get that?
