There’S a lot of fights in me guys.
So this is going to be one of them.
So if you, if you get a chance, watch him in may uh, his pro totals are fantastic.
Not only is he a unified world champion, but he’s had 26 bouts, of which he has 26 wins.
Zero losses with 17 knockouts gives him a knockout percentage of 65, so he is an undefeated fighter and uh all the fights that i’ve seen him in he’s been spectacular.
He is a very uh aggressive fighter.
He definitely, he has amazing uh hand speed for a guy.
His size – and he definitely he he throws some of the wickedest body punching that i’ve ever seen.
Honestly.
Graham he’s knocked out numbers and numbers of guys with his body punches like he’ll, throw four uh left left, uh uppercut body punches in a row like bang, bang, bang, bang, bang and then an overhand right knock the guy right out because four of those shots at The same like one after another after another after another, these that’s just crazy.
You should see some of his opponents, just crumple under that kind of barrage.
So it’s unbelievable.
He turned pro in uh 2012 at 20 years old and he was instantly picked up by uh.
Bob arum’s top rank, so bob aaron is promoting uh him and uh.
That’S always good to have him on your side, because he’ll get you in the position to uh to continually fight for world champion uh championships which he did and he accomplished all his uh goals.
So far and he’s gon na be uh, he’s going to be coming up to a really big fight this later this year.
So a couple of uh a couple other things.
So in december 2015 he won the wbc continental america super lightweight, title 2015.
That was basically his first title that he won then yeah in march 2018.
He won his first world title.
He won that wbc super uh super lightweight title and then in july 2019 he won the wbo super lightweight title, giving him the two titles so, along the way i’ll tell you, he had some epic battles guys check out some of these fights.
These fights are awesome.
Any of these fights are like really really really good.
He uh he fought maurice hooker, who we’ve talked about before on earlier episodes uh, he fought jose zapeda.
These are all amazing, fights, really really good uh.
He fought amir inman and uh.
Most recently, he fought a guy named uh former world champion victor postal victor postal, and that again was like an absolute amazing fight.
This guy is getting better and better and better graham every fight.
I’Ve seen him in he really gets.
He just seems to get better he’s.
Uh he’s got robert garcia training him now, so that’s been helping him out and uh he’s he’s really high on uh his training and he’s been uh.
He’S been he’s been saying in interviews and stuff that he’s he’s getting every fight.
He feels that he’s getting better now he’s got the biggest fight of his career, scheduled next month.
It’S going to be may 22nd 2021 against josh taylor from scotland, our buddy from scotland, josh taylor, so that’ll uh that’ll be a unification bout with uh, the wba and ibf uh titles, josh josh, taylor’s titles on the line as well as uh ramirez’s, uh, wbc and Wbo title: so that’s going to be a great fight right there it’s going to be on espn on the 22nd guys.
So if you want to watch that it’s on espn on 22nd – and i won’t miss that fight – that’s for sure that’s going to be that’s going to be a whale of a fight they’re, both undefeated josh, taylor’s 17-0 and, like we had said um uh jose, is Like 26-0, so somebody’s going to end up with a loss here unless it ends up as a draw or no contest or something.
But it’s going to be in a real, real uh, a real barn burner of a fight that one and i understand, there’s some rumbling – that the winner of that fight uh will probably end up with a fight against taya, firmo lopez, that’s what i’ve heard on the Through the grapevine so and i’m sure that’s what everybody wants, so you know i’m hoping i’m hoping that uh jose ramirez uh wins the fight and we can see him fight, teo, firmo lopez.
That would be great, so we’ll just have to wait and see.
Hopefully, you guys can watch that or any of his fights have been fantastic.
Like i said, he’s an electrifying fighter.
