  • What does come to an agteement? No solid signed conyract is that what this means? Are we just fishing here or definitely. Confirming a solid date

    Well of this is true..no need to call in sweet Lee from Salmom swim .is the undercard been determond?

    • Is good that the fight happens but it’s a big mismatch. Ramirez is too slow. Bivol is going to win lobsided.

  • Also just got a notification that there is a ppv today Jeremy Williams vs Larry Donald…That is a joke right?

  • Hope it’s more competitive then Canelo vs Bivol. That fight was as one sided as Kambosos vs Haney

    • This will be as or more one-sided. Ramirez won’t win a single non-affirmative action round.

      • That’s ridiculous. Ramirez is undefeated, big and young. Trust me Bivol will feel his punches and there will be no rest periods like he got against an older, smaller Canelo. Ramirez isn’t the fastest guy in the world so his only chance is to work on Bivol early and hope that he weakens and slows down in the later rounds but it will be a more competitive fight then the Canelo fight.

  • Ramirez has talked a lot about how Bivol is ducking him.. I think Bivol schools him.

  • Good match, should be very entertaining. By the way did anyone about the huge breaking news today? Sylvester Stallone and his wife Jennifer are divorcing!!!

    • Covering up a tattoo of her face with his dog’s face is one of the most epic moves of all time!

  • It looks like the entitled Ramirez isn’t getting his way for a hometown advantage and has to fight in a neutral country that has so far had pretty good judging. Therefore, I’m quite surprised he even took this fight. Now he will be attending a boxing clinic in which he will be the student and the still remaining champion will be the teacher. Hopefully after this waste of time we can have a full unification at 175 lb.

  • Ramirez is definitely the underdog he’s pretty slow to be honest & the quality of fighters he has fought and beaten in his inflated record is highly questionable.

  • Late post.

    I think there is too much talk about Zurdo’s so-called inflated record. He still has wins over Jessy Hart, Arthur Abraham, Maxim Vlasov and Sullivan Barrera. Why can’t he get credit for that?

    But I think he has had some periods when could have been more active. I think he should have taken more space many years ago. That is win a major belt and trying to keep it over the years.

    Now he’s going up against Bivol. Hopefully. Zurdo is a tall southpaw, like being at half-distance and don’t mind infighting, pressures , reads his opponents, moves fine, and generally for sure can box.

    I’m looking forward to this one. I think the fight might be more competitive than many people think.
