I’ve been slackin lads. I only just became aware of Zurdo Ramirez

Ramriez is a very special case - a Mexican who can't sell tickets. No one knows who he is here, either. You don’t get an awful lot of Mexicans that start up in the higher weights and have success, maybe that’s why he never had much spotlight early on, compared to other Mexicans. I could be wrong. Most Mexican stars that get exposure, even Canelo, started much lower and made his his name fighting known welterweights Of course there’s the odd exception like Mexican Americans such as Andy Ruiz have had success but nobody cared much about him either until 2019, hence why he was the B side travelling to places like New Zealand. To be fair though, Top Rank have always given Ramirez a decent platform, so I do think it may be the case of a lot of Mexican fans hold more aspirations and interest for smaller fighters because historically they had much more success.

No bud, no. It is never the fan's fault they are left in the dark. This is how ****ty boxing promoters and industry actually is. How TF can they grow a sport when they can't even keep the fans who actively look for boxing information informed? Yup. Dude may be a hypejob, but they're doing a **** job hyping anyway and that isn't your fault. You should be able to slack and still be informed. More Zurdo's fault than promoters. Bob pushed Zurdo harder than he should have. Zurdo threw a fit when he moved up to 175 and the WBO took his 168 title and left Top Rank over it

Should probably have taken an L to Vlasov way back when although TBF Maxims actually pretty good - should probably have got the nod over Smith at least. Gonna have to rewatch those fights. I had Zurdo winning all 3. :lol1

He is most famous for losing twice to a guy named Jessie Hart, who got humiliated by Joe Smith Jr. Should probably have taken an L to Vlasov way back when although TBF Maxims actually pretty good - should probably have got the nod over Smith at least.

He's been around since forever but never fought anyone of note to make a name for himself. He fought Arthur Abraham back in 2016 but it was nothing special.

Most transparent attempt of building a fraud I ever seen. He was over 200 pounds vs a skinny guy. It was crazy tbh
