Comments Thread For: Rafael Espinoza Trades Knockdowns With Robeisy Ramirez, Takes Majority Decision To Win WBO Title

[b Murphington]

Espinoza dominated Robeisy.

The tempo, distances, counters, etc.

Didn’t dominate him in those middle rounds. Those rounds were clear rounds for Ramirez. Ramirez actually did pretty well, just way too inactive and the high guard let him down. Started to slow down lots towards the end.

Great fight though.

Pleasantly surprised with this Espinoza kid nobody gave him a shot and ended up giving the cuban champ all the smoke he could get. Props to both fighters and full respect to robeisy dude a warrior didnt backed down and was gracious on defeat deserves direct rematch. What a fight this was. FOY strong candidate

Showed great heart. Too bad for Robeisy that knockdown came late in the fifth. Espinoza was out on his feet. Oh, well…hope there’s a rematch.

Bad luck for both guys Rd was over so Espinoza saved but Espinoza was boxing Robeisy ears off then got caught playing with his stance and boom.

I feel for Robeisy he's always been one of my guys since he whooped Shakur for Gold but he has nothing to be ashamed of he showed crazy heart.

Dominated? I think is a stretch, he got hit hard and was in ***** street, but you know what? He did win fair and square. Congratulations to the new champ, I want to see a rematch.

Robeisy relied too much on that ****** high guard, and was looking for the haymaker all night. He had more success than I thought, but Espinoza had too much time to land punches. I’ll say it again: Divino’s heart won the day. Robeisy faded at the end, initiating the first clinch of the fight.

Don't know what fight you were watching Espinoza was not dominating Ramirez. Espinoza came hard into the 12th round, out punched him and drop him winning him the fight. A well deserved win but it was a close entertaining fight.

Don’t feed the troll. Haha It’s not enough that Espinoza won a great fight, showing skills and heart. He had to “dominate.” Lmao

Yup he got caught playing switching stance and boom but he was winning pretty comfortably. Espinoza is the guy at FW.

I'd certainly pick him over Lopez and Lara and would have even before tonight. Lara is pretty useless if you dont fight ****** and get drawn into trading. Keep him on the end of a jab, stay disciplined and hes garbage.


Espinoza vs Figuero or Vargas would be great fights.


I think he could have success at 130 too.

Massive win for Espinoza

And The New!

Well said he will be a nightmare for any FW and JR LW.

Both men showed great heart in delivering a terrific fight for the fans. I had Divino winning the first four rounds, then the knockdown changed the course of the fight for a few rounds, Espinoza started to take over again, but the rounds got closer. The knockdown in the twelfth made Divino the clear winner in my book. But had Robeisy won that last frame, it might’ve been his fight.

I had never seen Rafael fight before but the attention and respect that was being shown to Robeisy and total disregard to his opponent made me root for Rafael. Even before the fight , Robeisy was shown in his dressing room , relaxed and laughing as if victory was a forgone conclusion.
