In the post-fight interview, ‘Jaguar’ reflected on his loss and addressed several scenarios of his current boxing career. Meanwhile, he also shed light on his interaction with Josh Taylor after their in-ring battle.
“He did what I was expecting him to do, you know. That’s show respect, and he showed respect. That’s all he did. He showed respect he showed that was being a competitor throughout the week and he wanted to win so bad that he wanted to get in my mind. But he did apologize because he came to find out that my family was, my son was around,” said Jose Ramirez.
Taylor has also revealed that the only reason he trash-talked his opponent was to hype their recent fight. ‘The Tartan Tornado’ praised the Mexican-American boxer after sharing the ring. While the first encounter saw both men give their best, it further leaves the door open for a re-match.
Josh Taylor and Jose Ramirez- What’s next for them?
The recent Top Rank headliner can drive both men into different zones ahead. While a move up the welterweight division would be alluring for Taylor, he can also choose to defend his titles at 140 lbs. Meanwhile, Jose Ramirez will look forward to returning in the win column.
On bagging a win, the former world champion can aim for his lost crown. But a lot of it would depend on how Josh Taylor reacts after the big win. He can rightly influence the championship picture of both- the super lightweight and the welterweight divisions.
Thus, only time can reveal what’s next for both men.
