Comments Thread For: Gilberto Ramirez, Joe Smith Both Come In At Career-Highs For 12-Round Cruiserweight Fight

And if you are really giving Joe Smith credit for beating an ATG, in BHop, you presumably are also giving Larry Holmes credit for worsening Ali's damage, giving credit for Lebedev & Green knocking out RJJ, giving credit for Garcia beating Morales. If you rreally are that dumbass then I don't got anything to say to you.

And finally, fair comment, I haven't achieved much in my life. Maybe we should restrict the use of these Boards only to people who have published novels, written symphonies, scored test hundreds or made groundbreaking Scientific discoveries. Fair play, please let me know into which category you fall.

Smith, and Ramirez, were both embarrassed in their last fight's, Smith KO'd by Beterbiev, and Ramirez losing by unanimous decision.
Let's see which one of these two former world champions will win this fight their first in the cruiser weight division.
The winner will continue to move forward towards a title elimination fight, and the loser will be regulated to a gate keepers status.
I'm believe that Ramirez has the edge in this fight, because Smith has in more brutal wars than Ramirez has in their boxing career's.

Did i read it correctly that this is a WBA title eliminator at CW but there is a 193lbs catchweight? If true this is exactly why lower weights don’t interest me much. If you move up a weight fight at the limit. If you want catchweights then don’t bother moving up. Train harder & stay at your respected weightclass. If you you have to move up then suck it up & face the facts that you could be the smaller man. Don’t be a clown & force your opponent to come down in weight. Catchweights are ruining this sport along with drug cheats, bad judging & too many sanctioning bodies…

Those morons trying to cut their weight to ***in 192 lbs. Just imagine their off day weights.

Zurdo is natural cruiser. No doubt.

Two sons of Bivol fighting at cruiserwight. I am looking forward to see how will they look like.

Bivol is a legend, he beat these huge guys easily.

lol on top of that the difference between weight classes is on a 7 pounds , sometimes a big poop can make the difference, it's a joke lol it's all so promoters can sell fights , in a gym in sparring nobody cares about this bs

Fair play to Joe: he is the only guy (from memory, correct me if I'm wrong) to wobble Bivol. His failing was that it came with the bell. Five more seconds and things MIGHT have been different.
