Undefeated titlist Josh Taylor appeared flawless in his latest win against Jose Ramirez. He claimed the undisputed super lightweight belts with a UD win. However, he still had to encounter a few criticisms regarding his stance in the fight.
Welterweight elite Mikey Garcia ridiculed the referee for not putting a check on Taylor’s activities. Per Garcia, ‘The Tartan Tornado’ had closed the gap unfairly several times, and it thwarted Jose Ramirez’s game plan.
In a chat with ES NEWS, Mikey Garcia said, “I think there were times where he could have, maybe you know given stricter warnings or something. I mean, I don’t know. If you give harsh warnings to the fighter, maybe Josh stops hugging as much and that would allow Jose to work on the inside.”

He added, “When you don’t give those warnings, those harsh warnings, fighter keeps holding and tying up on the inside and you are taking away Jose’s game plan, Jose’s strategy. But I mean that’s boxing, that’s okay.”
