Jose Ramirez embodies the relentless California fighting style–high-volume punching, pressure, and a never-stop-throwing mentality that wears opponents down.
California might be in turmoil as a State in the US but it still churns out top notch professional boxers and sometimes great boxing cards year in, year out.
That shall never change, especially as boxing as back as a sport in terms of popularity in the US and overseas at the moment.
Jose Ramirez is 29-3-18 KO but is usually in good fights, some notes on him;
- Relentless pressure fighter who throws punches in waves to overwhelm opponents
- Often compared to Antonio Margarito for winning through output rather than one-punch power
- Fighting style reflects his Central Valley roots–blue-collar, never-back-down mentality
- Prioritizes offense over defense with a high-risk, high-reward approach
- Throws to the body relentlessly, reminiscent of classic Mexican-American fighters like Chavez
- Aggressiveness leaves him vulnerable to counters and heavy shots
- Against Josh Taylor, his volume wasn’t enough though–was dropped twice and lost
- Emphasizes heart, forward movement, and turning fights into wars
- Beloved hometown hero in Fresno for his all-action approach
- Best described as “pressure without precision”–sometimes wild, always entertaining
This style of boxing is often liked by spectators in all countries, that Mexican pressure style.
Even Zepeda recently proving it to still be highly effective at the highest level against Lamont Roach.
Jose Ramirez has not fought since last year though in his points defeat to American Devin Haney.
His other losses came to Josh Taylor of Scotland and Arnold Barboza of the US, so he has mixed in solid company.
He has beaten Maurice Hooker, Viktor Postol, Rances Barthelemy and Richard Commey and can still be used in entertaining boxing bouts.
He needs to get back in the ring though, not clear on his motivation this year.
He had Shane Mosely, the multi division champion from the US even as his advisor going into the Haney fight even.
He must return to the ring immediately and get that ring rust off at this point.
