Fans waiting for an Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terrence Crawford rematch were blessed with a secondary source of action on Saturday night. Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson and Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez set social media ablaze when they turned Progressive Field into a boxing ring.
The two exchanged blows after Ramirez took exception to Anderson’s tag on him at second base (watch here). Anderson had reportedly drawn the ire of the Guardians for a controversial tag applied in their game Friday.
Ramirez’s agent Rafa Nieves was clearly proud of his client’s boxing prowess. He posted a photo of Ramirez wearing boxing gloves at progressive field on his personal Instagram account.

Ramirez had previously engaged in boxing as an alternative training exercise in the past. He would reportedly spar with Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase. If Ramirez’s vicious right hand was any indication, he probably won a lot of those matches.
