Ramirez vs Taylor Preview
Ramírez (26-0, 17 KOs) has held the WBC light welterweight strap since March 2018, when he bested Amir Imam via unanimous decision at Madison Square Garden. He added the WBO belt in his third title defense, punching out Maurice Hooker in Arlington, TX, in July 2019.
Ramírez didn’t fight again until August 2020, when he defended his belts with a majority decision over Viktor Postol in Las Vegas.
A victory on Saturday would make the 28-year-old native of Avenal, CA, the first four-belt undisputed champ of Mexican descent.
“I’ve always been the underdog. That’s my mentality. I am fighting for my place in boxing history,” Ramírez said, according to British Boxing News. “No boxer of Mexican descent has ever held all four world title belts. I’m aware that most people are picking against me, but that only fuels me further.”
“In my mind, I’m supposed to win this fight. I don’t let the outside noise get to me. No matter what you do, or who you beat, there’s always going to be somebody else out there. At this moment, that person is Josh Taylor.”
“We both wanted the fight, and I respect him for taking on the challenge. Josh and I are out to make history, and I know I will be the better man on May 22.”
Taylor (17-0, 13 KOs), an Olympian in 2012, took the IBF light welterweight title from Ivan Baranchyk with a unanimous decision in Glasgow in May 2019. He collected the WBA belt in his next fight just five months later, claiming a majority decision against Regis Prograis in London.
Taylor’s first and only two-belt defense didn’t last long — he stopped Apinun Khongsong just 161 seconds into their September 2020 match in London.
“It was a dream years ago to be undisputed champion — an unrealistic dream,” the 30-year-old told ESPN. “Because when you think about unified champions, they were the superstars of the sport — people like Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao and big names like Canelo Alvarez. When I thought about me doing it, I thought it was a bit far-fetched for a wee guy from Prestonpans, Scotland, reaching that level. But one thing has progressed to another, and here we are.”
Taylor added: “Undisputed world title fights in Las Vegas are rare, special. I’m really lucky and privileged to be in this position, to land a fight of this magnitude. But I have worked my backside off to get to this position, I didn’t get here by luck, and I will do my hardest to make sure I make the most of the opportunity on May 22.”
