Comments Thread For: Zurdo Ramirez: Expectation Is To Win All The Titles; Bivol First, Then Beterbiev To Become Undisputed

[NC Uppercut]

I am very excited this fight has come to fruition!

[LA_2_Vegas]

Can't wait to see if Bivol can make this a fight like all his others. I will be thoroughly impressed

And for Zurdo, the timing on his left hook to the body is really good; we know he's big and lumbering, not very fast but his body punches are constantly sneaking in... he's talked about getting Bivol's timing when sparring him so we'll see how that works out. I have a hrd time believing he was piecing up Bivol so I want to see it

Zurdo beats both.. too big and skilled for both.. Beterbiev chin is suspect as well.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha
This right here folks is fughin entertainment

Constantly people dismiss Ramirez. His style will be tuff for both, he's a lefty, (if you ever fought a lefty you would know they are a nightmare to fight) he's really big, and throws lots of punches, not to mention a good chin. Put those things together and he will be a handful for anyone, styles makes fights and he's going to give Bivol issues, Bivol is a good boxer but his lack of power is going to be a problem when he realizes that his power won't be enough to keep Zurdo off him, not to mention that Bivol is used to fighting at a certain pace and Zurdo style will force him to throw more punches than he's used to. I would still favor Bivol 55-45, but it would not surprise me at all if Ramirez beats him, IMO Beterbiev is more Dangerous for Ramirez because of his power, I just think on November 5, a ton of people are in for a surprise....

The thing about Zurdo fighting Beterbiev, even though Zurdo is a Southpaw, Zurdo has to punch down. Speaking from someone who boxed that is tall and framed similar to Zurdo, I always found it much harder to throw the straights with the shorter foes, hence the name NC Uppercut. Zurdo will need to make good use of his uppercuts if he and Beterbiev lock horns. Now I think Bivol vs Zurdo is a 50-50 type of fight. Zurdo has more mileage than Bivol, even though some of it was against lesser opponents, you still have to go through the rigorous camps. I had Don House train me for quite a few years and he can explain perfectly how the downward angle takes away steam from your punches.
Think how Iron Mike Tyson used to just obliterate opposition bc of the height difference. Just something to dwell on. I’m actually hoping Zurdo can do his thing against both. Brings more titles to USA/Mexico

I don`t see a way how he beats Bivol or Beterbiev. Ramirez style is to walk the opponent down with constantly pressure, similar to what Canelo does usually. He will be clearly outboxed by Bivol. He has not the Boxing skills that Bivol has. Against Beterbiev he will for sure walk in some big punches and get stoped early. Look at the Smith Jr. fight, a guy with dynamite in his hands and a pressure fighter. When he gets a feeling of a punch coming back at light heavyweight by Beterbiev, it is going to be a short fight.

Mickey Garcia was an ungrateful diva. Dude straight up ducked Gamboa waited his contract out and trashed Arum any chance he got to get cucked by haymon. Zurdo didn't go the same route and trashed Arum so there might be a chance it could work out.

I hope that is the case. Arum is petty, if Zurdo beats Bivol he's a star. Arum will be much more difficult to deal with because Zurdo does not represent Top Rank and will be considered a threat to an aging Artur.

I agree. Oscar is always working with other promoters in the states, Canada, Mexico and u.k but Bob is always kinda hesitant. Hopefully it gets done. IF zurdo were to win which I'm rooting for

[Oracle01]

Zurdo is tough but fights like a caveman with low IQ and is very hittable. He is good but limited and I think he gets easily out boxed.

[Chris Hanson]

Zurdo beats both. We are with Ukraine. I hope Zurdo comes into the ring with the Ukranian flag.

Gilberto Ramirez has been arrested in Sinaloa, Mexico, for throwing trash cans, and bottles from his balcony at pedestrians, and responding police officers.
While presumably under the influence of drugs, a truly unexpected incident which could've left those caught in the receiving end of those objects injured, or worse.
