Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol vs. Gilberto Ramirez is Ordered By The WBA

[Deleted]

He's a very big boy at LHW too by accounts, apparently rehyrating past 200lbs which could well mean he's got 20Lbs on Bivol in the ring.... That may not be the decisive factor (and I'd pick Bivol by UD too) but it is a factor that shouldn't be overlooked. If I'm Bivol's team I'd be insisting on a strict testing regimen to start as far out as possible.

Very well said and I 100% agree!

Good point. Bivol is probably a guy who walks around at 180-190. Zurdo likely will have a noticeable size advantage. Bivol’s going to have to use his feet and make sure Zurdo isn’t able to set his own feet. I’m quite like this matchup tbh.

Now the cheating arse Russian is accusing Zurdo of juicing.. man STFU

WBA should fast track negotiations here instead of giving them until August 10th. Hearn and DLH will just give attention seeking media interviews for weeks and not actually negotiate until August 9th.

Zurdo’s 0 is gonna go

Bivol's team should ask for a rehydration clause.

I'd love it if Bivol knocked this can crusher out.

Zurdo can win if he does what Bivol did to Canelo and keep his distance jab away and win by points. But awkwardly Zurdo likes to Brawl? Gets hit too much. Likes taking risks. If he forces Bivol he'll connect combinations and make it his fight. Or Bivol will just do like he did Canelo and jab step back and counter all the way to victory.

Do you think this goes to purse bids?

I think they probably get a deal done at the last minute
