Would be a hell of a pickup by Uncle Bob.

He had a non existent jab, his work literally only comes after the other guy finishes throwing.
Nothing wrong with counter punching. His non existent jab was indeed an embarrassment.

When you're a 2 time Olympic Champ, you should be able to create openings against a nobody

Yeah, shocker when I read the results. I totally missed his fight. I hope it's still up so I can watch it tomorrow. Only place I saw the odds was a site that allows users to pick who'll win. It had like 100% picking Ramirez. This has to be up there in terms of upsets. Hell, REDC thought his opponent was embarrassingly bad :lol:.
Anyways, I've not been impressed with the duo of Conlan and Stevenson. They're both super boring, and I hope they lose soon. Conlan with that stupid McGregor tough-guy routine at the very least should be exciting in his fights, but they're fucking boring. McGregor backed his shit up and put some exciting fights. Conlan puts the crowd to sleep. Fucking ESPN team were practically apologizing for the dude's style.

He's back and teamed up with Salas.
Wondering the same myself. @brian1982 did you catch his fight?

Too much bravura imo.
He's going to rematch that guy who beat him this Thursday.
If he went back to amateur/Olympic boxing he wouldn't do shit either - he looks shot. Slow and wide open.

Its gonna be a tough fight for Ramirez I think. What do you think will happen in that fight?
I hope that it's going to be an easy fight for him because that's what it should be. He's got to and should be able to beat him (with ease) and show the first fight was a fluke somehow. If he can't do that then maybe should retire from boxing.
I know he had a long layoff (1 to 2 years?) before he turned pro, but if you go from winning 2 Olympic gold medals, 5x Cuban championships and a dozen of WSB fights to losing to Adan Gonzales then you've got to be shot or have other issues going on.
I gotta say, seeing as how he always liked to (unnecessarily) go toe to toe and didn't care too much about the not-get-hit part I wouldn't be surprised and don't rule out that he's done. After his last fight he had those glazy eyes:
