Ahead of their undisputed title clash on May 22, ‘The Tartan Tornado’ Josh Taylor claimed that he is more technical than his upcoming rival Jose Ramirez. Still undefeated, both men share a lot of similarities in their respective professional careers.
Both pugilists, who have been on a tear, sit atop the super lightweight division. That said, Taylor has vowed to vanquish Ramirez in their upcoming collision. The Scot believes to possess everything Ramirez has, with some added qualities.
Just hours before the fight, ‘The Tartan Tornado’ said, “You are relying on your power, relying on your power heart, determination. That’s all you have got, that’s all you are relying on. I have got heart, power, determination, as well. But I have also got the skill.”
