Chris Arreola's trainer on Pacquiao-Clottey & Mayweather-Mosley
Anaheim Boxing Examiner | Brent Alderson
Henry Ramirez is one of boxing’s up and coming trainers. The Riverside native trains a stable of fighters which includes undefeated bantamweight prospect Jonathan Arrellano, fringe junior welterweight contender Josesito Lopez, and the popular heavyweight slugger Chris Arreola. Just like everybody in the industry, the 34 year old Ramirez is anticipating the clash between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao and thinks both fighters are going to win their next bouts against Shane Mosley and Joshua Clottey.
Even though he recognizes that Joshua Clottey is a very dangerous opponent, Ramirez thinks Pacquiao is on a different level and in an interview at www.blogtalkradio/fightfannationradio.com he commented, “For the first six rounds I wouldn’t doubt if it was three rounds even. After the first five or six rounds you are going to see a very close, almost a dead even fight, but I think ultimately after that, you are going to see Pacquiao really start to adjust and take command the way he seems to be doing lately. I think you are going to see him win going away like an eight to four decision. I could see him sweeping the whole second half of the fight. What would really be impressive is if he could stop Clottey. I don’t see it, but you really can’t doubt Pacquiao at this point in time!”
Ramirez is confident that Floyd Mayweather is going to beat Shane Mosley in their May super-fight to set up a fall showdown with the Pac-man and noted, “I think Floyd is going to outbox Shane Mosley easy, I think he is going to win nine rounds to three. I think he is going to win easy. Floyd is by far the best fighter on the planet. I don’t think Mosley is as fluid as he used to be, obviously he’s lost a little hand speed. I think Margarito was a perfect guy for him, but who knows, I just think Floyd is going to win the fight hands down going away.”
