“We don’t need to deal with that, thank goodness, because of the knockout in the 11th round,” said Tessitore. “The fifth round was pretty clear, too,” said Kriegel. “The ninth round was as clear as round as you could say.” There was a judge that had it 100-90 at the point of the stoppage,” said Joe Tessitore. “I’m so glad the signature shot ended the fight because I just had the scores read to me. Then Ramirez came back with a signature shot and ended the fight,” said Ward. You saw the heart, the grit, and the reason why Richard Commey keeps getting these calls. “I saw him work his way through tough spots, and then when Ramirez didn’t answer the call in certain parts of the fight, you saw Commey step it up. “I saw age in the legs and him not being able to have a sustained attack, but I saw so much craftiness. “I think tonight was partly Jose Ramirez’s layoff and having so many miles on the odometer that is starting to show up. “Lomachenko, a 130-pounder, almost stopped him. How many guys have stopped Richard Commey? One?” “He was supposed to stop him,” said Kriegel about Ramirez. Look at all the guys that Commey has faced,” said Bradley. “I’m not, not giving respect,” said Kriegel. He gives his best, and he did that tonight, but you still got to give respect for stopping him,” said Bradley. Yeah, he is a little bit older, but Commey always brings his A-game. ![]() “Commey coming into this fight, I thought that he had an uphill battle because, yes, he was smaller and weight gain. I didn’t expect this to be his best performance. “These guys don’t fight by the sweet science. “Ramirez gets hit with everything, everything! These guys don’t have defense,” said Tim Bradley. “Really good fighters don’t get hit consistently with long right hands. Getting hit with right hands,” said Kriegel about Ramirez. “It was a little worse tonight, though,” said Ward about Ramirez. “I’m saying that pattern was to start fast, fade and finish strong,” said Kriegel. “I’m talking the whole performance,” said Ward. “I think it was the old Ramirez,” said Mark Kriegel. But the next performance, no matter who it’s against, ‘is this new Ramirez, or does he have a little bit more than he showed tonight?'” said Ward. He got it done, and you got to respect that. “I said from the outset that I wanted to watch him closely. Jose Ramirez not impressive against Commey “Even his comeback wasn’t quite the Jose Ramirez that we’re used to seeing,” said Ward. “We saw more teetering of Jose Ramirez tonight, coming off the layoff. He’ll teeter off in the middle rounds, and then he’ll pick it back up,” said Andre Ward to ESPN, reacting to the victory for Jose Ramirez over Richard Commey last Saturday night. Hopefully, I’ll be back by September,” said Ramirez. Have your management do their part, and we’ll sit down and make the fight happen if you’re serious about it. Let’s sit down and make the fight happen. “If Regis is serious about fighting, we can sit down and negotiate. You always want to come back and get that rematch after that tough loss,” said Jose Ramirez last Saturday night following his win over Richard Commey. I want the winner of Josh Taylor and Teofimo. Matias has a fighting style that would work well with the way Ramirez fights, and would be an excellent fight to bring back to the Save Mart Arena in Fresno. Matias would be a good option if Ramirez can cut a deal with Prograi or the Taylor-Lopez winner. ![]() ![]() Ramirez didn’t mention newly crowned IBF light welterweight champion Subriel Matias as one of the belt-holders he’d be interested in fighting next. Up until dropping the 36-year-old Commey twice in the eleventh round, Ramirez didn’t look overly impressive, and there was some doubt whether he’d pull it off. Ramirez turned down a fight against an elite-level guy in Prograis to take the fight against Commey, which suggests that his confidence isn’t what it needs to be for him to be challenging for a world title. This wasn’t a step up for Ramirez, unfortunately, and it’s unclear why he’s taking his time working his way back to fighting elite-level opposition. Ramirez’s win over Commey, who is arguably a journeyman now, was a lateral move from his previous fight against Jose Pedraza a year ago.
