What I saw. Espinoza vs Ramirez

I thought the fight was close going into the twelfth. Ramirez needed to win that round to have a chance. The knockdown sealed the deal. No question as to the winner. Espinoza was the better man last night. He used his height, angles, skills and volume punching. Divino was also better conditioned and showed a lot of heart. Tough to beat that combination. Robeisy was depending on that high guard (which I hate) too much. He was looking for big shots all night while getting outworked. It almost worked for him in the fifth. Espnioza was saved by the bell. It took a few rounds for Divino to reassert himself. While Espinoza was clearly landing more, Ramirez was landing the bigger punches. In the end it was Divino’s heart and conditioning that won the day. As soon as I saw Robeisy initiate the first clinch of the fight in the twelfth, I knew it was all over. You could see the knockdown coming. It was the difference in my book.

Completely agree, Espinoza was by far the more agressive and active and i think he should have been credited with a knockdown in the sixth round too That was strange to me too. Ramirez went down and they never replayed it on the broadcast. Either it was a slip (no complaint from Espinoza or his corner at least not that they showed) or ESPN didn’t show it because Ramirez was the house fighter.

Bump. I guess everyone agrees??
