![]() ![]() 25.Īs for Prograis, there will be options, though we may not get the sort of fight fans want, or that Prograis wants. The idea now for Ramirez, according to Coppinger, is to match him against former lightweight titleholder Richard Commey on Mar. It won’t happen, though, or at least not next. Ramirez was promised the winner of Prograis’ fight with Zepeda, which Prograis won in dominant fashion on Nov. ![]() Ramirez (27-1, 17 KO) is a Top Rank fighter, and Prograis (28-1, 24 KO) is not he’s signed to Probellum, but there was still decent reason to hope the fight could get done. It’s worth remembering, too, that the vacant WBC title fight was supposed to be between Ramirez and Jose Zepeda, but Ramirez also passed on that because he was getting married. Prograis was also “disappointed,” and said it was “bullshit,” believing Ramirez has never wanted to fight him. ![]() Ramirez also said it’s “a huge fight that is not being promoted properly,” which is kind of a bizarre statement for something that was never signed, thus never had a chance to be promoted. Ramirez told Mike Coppinger that he was “disappointed” in the ruling, believing the fight “should definitely be a 50-50 split,” which was never realistic, it should be made clear he also said he’d have been fine taking “10 percent less,” which probably means 55-45 in Prograis’ favor, and not 60-40. Jose Ramirez will not be taking a WBC title shot against Regis Prograis in his next fight, as reports that Ramirez has officially decided to pass on the opportunity, citing the WBC’s 65-35 purse bid split in the titleholder’s favor. ![]()
