Josh Taylor's resume is unbelievable for a guy with 17 fights

[Gee]

I saw nervous energy in Ramirez...
he couldn’t even look at the camera.
His mouth being dry shows that he didn’t make weight that easy. I’m rooting for Ramirez but he made me feel like something is off with him as I watched this video. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 supports 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 fighters
