Dmitry wins this one on points and strategy
I agree. Bivol’s offense is technically sound based off his vast experience. Bivol’s jab with his lateral movement will always give many fighters problems. Ramirez will have his hands full trying to get through Bivol’s offense let alone his great defense. Ramirez should make the fight more physical and try to force Bivol out of his comfort zone. Yep, Bivol UD.
I fully agree. Should be pretty easy work for Bivol. I expect him to fight conservatively for the first 3/4 of the fight, then start to pour it on from the 8th round on, winning by a clear unanimous decision.
Agreed zurdo is slow and you have to seriously question his record, 90% the guys on there nobody heard of
It makes sense to pick Bivol because he is more responsible on offense and on defense.
BUT I am also wondering:
1) How much will Ramirez weigh on fight night?.
2) If Ramirez carries additional weight on fight night, will he use it to physically make Bivol uncomfortable (under increased pressure)?.
3) If Ramirez carries additional weight on fight night, can he maintain enough energy for 12 rounds?.
I expect to see Ramirez with additional fight night weight. I am looking forward to this fight.
Bivol beats fat Andy Ruiz with boxing knowledge . Zurdo could weigh 500 lbs and it does not matter..
Bivol is king at 175
This could be a snoozer because Bivol is not an action fighter and most likely he will be relaying on his jab to keep Ramirez out of balance and reach. I envisioning a boring 12 rounds win for Bivol
Relying Burucho, no relaying
Bivol is unbeatable at 175
nuff said
I think beterbiev will rough bivol up and stop him.
Beterbiev is the boogeyman man at 175. He’s so strong even though he’s getting up there in age.
Bivol on points….if Ramirez tries with too much pressure and lots of Punches,i can see him getting knocked down once or twice…
Bivol is gonna use Zurdo as a human punching bag and perhaps ruin his career.
I think Zurdo might take this.
It will be very difficult for Bivol to control the bigger Zurdo with his jab in this fight.
Bivol had problems against bigger Richards and I consider Zurdo being a much better and more experienced boxer.
Exciting fight I think.
Zurdo is a massive underdog because he’s slow & I’m yet to be really amazed by anything he does. Him and Munguía have suspect records, mexicanos are infamous for stacking undefeated records full of bums.
Yes, Ruben Olivares and Carlos Zarate had a combined record of 91-0 when they disputed for the first time the bantamweight world title, but I think is worse in Argentina where a fighter sometimes faces the same opponent multiple times despite if the first time the win was by KO
I’m not about zarate but when Ruben olivares reached world level he fought solid world class contenders and champions. He fought bums when he was coming up. I don’t see that from zurdo seems like until now he’s avoided the hardest bangers.
I agree about the records. But we do know something about Zurdos record and the numbers are telling when judging his qualities.
Victories against outstanding fighters like Maxim Vlasov, Arthur Abraham and Jesse Hart, but also against solid opponents like Boesel, Gonzalez, Barrera, Bursak, Angulo, Lopez and so on.
I think Zurdo is regarded unjustifiably as a massive underdog. This is a much closer fight than that I think.
None of the people you just named off were credible victories. Abraham was very old and past his best when they fought, Jessie hart had a great amateur career but couldn’t transition into the pros. Couple more oldies there.
C’mon champ, get rid of this weight cheating pampered pretender who has shown you nothing but disrespect. Show him why there are levels to this sport.
This is going to be an exciting and competitive fight on several levels, and it seems like a lot of the possible outcomes are there for either fighter to exploit or succumb to. This one is gonna be worthy tuning in for!
