Wish Stubbs could've held on for another 2 minutes!!

Isley is good, definitely 1 to watch. He's part of the Team USA Olympic squad that Top Rank signed up.  Bronze medalist Tiger Delante, Silver Duke Ragan, Silver Keyshawn Davis, Heavyweight Silver medalist Richard Torrez. Also female Ginny Fuchs.

Top Rank signed them ALL!!!!!!

More than likely there's a couple of future World Champions there. Especially Keyshawn and Tiger!!!

Watching the Beterbiev Vs Smith Jr Light Heavyweight Unification Title Card on Sky Sports in the UK and I just want to give a big round of applause to Top Rank 👏👏 for matching Unbeaten Abraham Nova at 21 - 0 with the former Cuban multi Olympic Gold Medalist 🥇Robeisy Ramirez, who is 9 - 1 as a Pro, but who easily avenged his sole defeat, that was inflicted on him on his Pro Debut, when he was a little green in the Pro ranks... He won by Unanimous scores of 60 - 54 across the board in the rematch, after an initial short 4 Rounder... Any how, a great fight at Featherweight... Nova carries explosive power, as a Puncher's chance of landing and can never be discounted during the course of the fight. Meanwhile, Robeisy Ramirez as some silky skills, combined with good, respectable punching power and lightening sharp reflexes... Either Nova by KO/TKO from Round 7 onwards, or Robeisy Ramirez by Points... If I was a betting man, I would slightly favour Ramirez by Points, but trust me, it is going to be one hell of a fight, as both Boxers have something to prove and both want a World Title Shot within their next 2 Pro contests, so the guy who loses, if there is to be one, will have to sit at home and wait just that little bit longer... Going Ramirez by UD... Where's the online bookie 🤔💯🥊🥊👊👍🏼👏👏

Navarrete was meant to be facing Shakur Stevenson in the fall!!! He priced himself out supposedly?
That sucks. Would have been a great scrap. So, even though that fight never happened, it seems Navarrete is going to move up to 130.

My guess for Robeisy next opponent would be the winner of next month Joet Gonzalez Isaac Dogboe main event WBO No 1 Contender fight. Robeisy vs the winner for the vacant WBO

Navarrete is a power puncher, but the advantage that Robeisy has on a technical level is very clear (plus Ramirez also has KO Power). He had heard that El Vaquero was going to move up in weight, but if Navarrete vs. Ramirez, I think Ramirez has the upper hand if he doesn't drop his guard

By the way guys. Navarrete would do bad bad things to Ramirez!!!
He'd beat his ass BAD!!!! Wear him down and KO him in the later rounds. Probably make Robeisy quit on his stool

Don't get me wrong, I'd still like to see the fight happen tho. Like I said its looking likely that Navarrete moves up.
I think 126lbs is the best weight for Ramirez, he doesn't have the size to move up the weights. 
I bet Top Rank would love it if Robeisy could win a World Title and move up to 130lbs to face Shakur in a rematch of the 2016 Olympic final. Robeisy is the Cuban that beat Shakur in the Gold medal match made Shakur cry in that TV interview after the fight! Top Rank would love to promote that fight as a Revenge fight for Shakur. It may happen but like I said, Ramirez seems a bit small to move up past 126lbs, Shakur could be a better 135lbs, even 140lbs!
