He's going on 32. His frame and mass is set as a man. No more eating a breakfast Burrito and running it off anymore, haha!
Imo Zurdo pace is way to slow for 175, guys at that weight are lighter on their feet. CW will suit Zurdo pace better.
Absolutely. Instead of draining himself for an advantage that he doesn't have anymore he should go up. When fighters are young they can go down and rehydrate effectively. At a later age it affects too much.
Makes you appreciate the professionalism of a guy like Floyd who always kept himself within a few pounds of his fighting weight even when he wasn’t fighting.
Oh yeah Floyd was a true professional making Juan Manuel Marquez come up from 135 to fight him at 144 only to miss weight by 2 lbs and not even try to make the contracted limit that was extremely professional on his end.
Never been into this Ramirez hype, so I'm not losing sleep over the cancellation. He's one of those fighters who were effectively silenced in one fight. Kind of like Oscar Valdez who was effectively silenced by Shakur. There were many smaller fights like Colbert effectively silenced by Garcia, Rivera by Martin, Ellis by Killa Villa, and so on.
You had me until the last one, Ellis won that fight. He won at least 8 or 9 rounds easy, the knockdowns were ugly in the 12th, but he got up. That doesn't take away all the rounds he earned by outboxing his opponent, unless he couldn't get up off of the canvas.
Zurdo's biggest disadvantage is actually speed. His reach, size, volume, stamina and power is good for cruiserweight. 100% KO ratio at LHW. couldn't land on Bivol, cus well Speed.
He actually will do great at Cruiser imo.
He should stop weight draining himself though. Very low IQ.
