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'

[garfios]

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.

He answered a question, that was all. He's not thinking about Inoue or anyone else, only espinoza.

Agreed. This time Espinoza might even knock him out.

When else have you heard him “talk a lot”?

I lean towards Espinoza to win the rematch, performing more tactically with his reach advantage and footwork, make more use of his dimensions, press the action but being more alert and defensively sound, while not working with injured foot midway through the fight after he was caught with a big shot when switching stances, Robeisy also had hit him with a body shot that stunned him and was unable to react in time.

But I wonder if some have not read the article, it is Robeisy's personal observation that Naoya Inoue seems physically in the smaller side if he were to compete at 126. Which if being honest, is true whether or not his skills and body frame does translate well moving up. He was already the smaller man at 122 against let's say Fulton, Nery, and TJ. Fighters though he beat them dominantly, they had the reach advantage over him at 122.

“I saw Inoue in person. He's a great fighter and a legend. But my impression is that he is small for 126 pounds, and I'm not even so big for my division. Neither would he. He's kind of small to be moving up, and at some point, you hit your limits. There is only one Manny Pacquiao. No matter how good your boxing is, at some point the weight becomes too much, and the power from the guys in the divisions above you becomes too much. My boxing is strong and I feel that I can end Inoue’s history.”

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".

Well its certainly a fight I'd like to see in the near future, fighting inoue is different now, HOF, mystic, Robeisy would be fighting a fighter determined to leave a legacy, but it would be a good fight.

Inoue would break him down to the body, wear him out and knock him out, he has form for rhis tactic lol

No. They don't read the whole article, they can write a book about how good or bad a boxer is, but won't have the patience to read an article to properly comment, and the title is a bait.

In boxing one punch can change the universe. The shot that Pantera hit Inoue with is cause for concern. Inoue felt that.

Inoue didn't even look buzzed. He got up and won the rest of the round, and then systematically beat down and stopped Nery.

I won’t argue with that. I thought you were just shïtting on Robeisy.
Robeisy has a tall order ahead of him but he’s got the skills to avenge that loss.
That said, I don’t know if he beats Inoue.

Robeisy is a brilliant fighter, no question. My gut feeling is that Espinoza might be a little hungrier, hence my picking him in the rematch. But it's a 50/50 fight, for sure.

By the way, I believe that the lone fighter I have really been shìtting on throughout my life of boxing student is Oscar De La Hoya. For the rest, I've always remained a relatively neutral watcher, though I did have some favorites...

I suppose so, by the way think you misread Mr. Boxing fan's comment, he meant Robeisy can't withstand the punching power of Naoya Inoue, not his current opponent who he has a definitive shot of beating like he did in the first bout.

I lean towards Espinoza, but it is 50/50 fight where I could be wrong about the outcome.
