Current WBC champion Regis Prograis quickly weighed in and said what many might have been thinking, especially in the non-forgiving world of Twitter. This could have been all used to build up anticipation for his fight, but instead, it may have backfired for the former super lightweight champion, and those watching weren’t the only ones who felt that way. Pride or money? Why in his own words, didn't fight /F4nAGbMo8e

He didn’t seem too confident in his answers, and when pressed about it, he came off as a man that didn’t want the fight to begin with. Well, that didn’t happen, and Ramirez’s response and body language were not reassuring for those defending Ramirez’s position. When the segment of Ramirez with Kriegel popped up, we were expecting that the softball question about WBC super lightweight Regis Progrias would be asked and that an acceptable response would be given. Of course, it isn’t live, so being prerecorded, the questions are usually known ahead of time to avoid making the fighter look bad. With the soft music playing in the background and an even softer tone, Kriegel goes into his bag and asks those questions. Ramirez earned an eleventh-round knockout in a fight he was heavily favored to win, but before the fight, some interesting things popped up.Įveryone knows that with these ESPN shows, journalist extraordinaire Mark Kriegel does these in-depth interviews that target subjects that can be personal at times or ones that trend on social media. It certainly seemed like it on TV, and there was no shortage of Jose Ramirez supporters in the building last night. Top Rank and ESPN hosted a card from the Save Mart Arena in Fresno, CA, where manager Rick Mirigian told everyone all week who would listen, that it would be filled with 15,000 fans. Jose Ramirez stopped Richard Commey on Saturday night but will we see him fight Regis Prograis this year in a long overdue matchup?
