To Dan Ambrose:<\/strong> Jose Ramirez will take on Richard Commey on March 25 at the SaveMart Center in Fresno, Calif.Ramirez (27-1, 17 KOs) just missed a guaranteed title shot against WBC light welterweight champion Regis program<\/strong> To fight Commey, 35 (30-4-1, 27 KOs).<\/p>\n Fighting Comey instead of Prograce won’t help Ramirez’s popularity, but it will at least save him from another loss. I wasn’t confident that I could beat Progress<\/strong>chasing an easier target on Commey is the ticket to keeping his career alive, and money is pouring in for headliner spots on ESPN.<\/p>\n According to Mike Coppinger, former WBC\/WBO 140-pound champion Ramirez (27-1, 17 KOs) and former IBF 135-pound champion Comey have agreed a deal to fight in a light welterweight bout.<\/p>\n Ramirez, 30, turned down a fight with WBC champion Prograis because he was unhappy with the 65-35 split.<\/p>\n Ramirez has left the door open for a future fight with Prograis, but it looks like he’s eyeing a rematch with WBO 140-pound champion Taylor. He lost the Undisputed \u00a3140 Championship to Taylor in May 2021 in a 12-round majority decision.<\/p>\n Since that battle Ramirez’s career is slowing<\/strong>he fought and beaten only once Jose Pedraza<\/strong> By a 12-round unanimous decision in Fresno last March.<\/p>\n “Jose Ramirez and Richard Commey have reached an agreement for their March 25 bout in Fresno, Calif.,” Mike Coppinger told ESPN. held at the center.<\/p>\n “Comy got the mandate after Ramirez gave up his title fight with Regis Prograis due to a split wallet.”<\/p>\n If Ramirez later chooses to reconsider negotiations, fighting Comey won’t help him get a better split with Prograis.<\/p>\n It would have been better if Ramirez chose to fight a higher ranked player than Comey.<\/p>\n Ramirez should have picked at least one of these fighters in the March 25 contest to avoid being seen as an evasive cherry-picker:<\/p>\n
