Ledhed1 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 First the "business" piece. The WBO title again cycles through Top Rank. Loma, Valdez, Shakur, Navarrete, now one of these guys. What did they do? Purchase the belt outright? As for the fight, Dogboe with the experience; Ramirez the unknown at this level. Close in size and age. Ramirez had the extended amateur career. Dogboe's got a lot of fight in him and a strong survival instinct. Tends to get sloppy in crisis situations exposing his limited amateur schooling. Since two losses to Navarrete at 122, he's been beating the TopRank hand-me-downs at 126. Appears to be on a solid trajectory building to this shot. Been on the world radar since beating Cesar Juarez over five years ago but he's still just 28, younger than Ramirez. Ramirez has the edge in skills. He's been knocking guys out while Dogboe's been going the distance. Ramirez's best win was Abraham Nova. We're still discovering how good he can be but this isn't all that favorable a matchup for him. Although Dogboe came from 122 he's been fighting long enough at 126 to be established. And though he's been around the block. Dogboe's by no means old. At Ramirez's age he probably wants to move quickly but this is too much too soon in terms of ring experience. He has the potential to surprise us, but going with the known quantity in this spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repsac Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 This is a good featherweight fight. Might be Dogboe last chance to re-capture another world title. I was at both fights he lost against Naverette. Amazing he's in this position, years after those two beatings. As for Robeisy, supremely talented in skill. I was at his career low, and career high. Was in Philly to see him lose his pro debut, then at his fight where he destroyed Nova. Ramirez vs Luis Lopez is a fight i would love to see at the end of the year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 --- I'm thinking Robeisy team thinks they're in an upswing and Dogboe on a downcycle, but for sure Dogboe is the hungrier fighter and it's not like Robeisy is some kind of Loma savant. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Robeisy has seemed to settle in nice at the pro style. To be completely honest I don't even think he looks at 100% while fighting. Last couple outings he had room to step on the gas still. Seemed content to not push for a stoppage. Dogboe will show up and make things difficult though, and i think ramirez will need to shift into a further gear than previous showed before. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
