Jose Ramirez: "I’ve
Always Been The Underdog"
The countdown is on, and
WBC/WBO junior welterweight world champion Jose Ramirez
is 12 days away from a legacy-defining undisputed
showdown against Josh Taylor, Scotland’s IBF/WBA/Ring

Mexican descent. He’s spent the better part of two
months training in Riverside, California, with Robert
Garcia, who has guided his career inside the ring since
after his March 2018 title-winning effort over Amir
Imam.

Is This The Last Hurrah For Arreola? Maybe Not!
By William Trillo
The last time I recall Chris Arreola tipping the scale
at the 229 mark was back in 2006 when he faced his
crosstown rival Damian “Bolo” Wills. This was a
long-awaited matchup of the two hottest prospects to
come out of Southern California. It was a toss up who
was going to win the fight in the eyes of many, but I
always held firm that Arreola was going to bludgeon
Wills. History will tell you I hit the proverbial nail
on the head. Arreola beat Wills to a pulp and the fight
came to an end after seven brutal rounds.
