Thats me ! So thanks haha i know the guy personally and saw most of his camp so I knew how well prepared he was for this moment

Great story with a great finish

By the way , gotta give you credit ( hoping you are the right guy ) you were the only one who came out way before the fight and said that Ramirez would be in a true dog fight vs Espinoza
Credit given where credit due
Good call brother and you were spot on

Anyone saying Espinoza is like fundora has it all wrong, espinoza can fight from the outside and inside and his money punch is the left hook to the body, also… he got up wobbly n all but got up, fundora was done as soon as he hit the canvas

Also he did hurt his ankle and still pressed forward. He showed his skills up to the knockdown and his will afterwards imo 115-111 was the correct scorecard .

fw and superfw has a new player

This was a great fight
It had a little of everything
I was just glad the right guy won and deserved it a bunch
I wouldn’t mind seeing this one again
Espinoza is far from a Fundora , people saying that Just cause he’s tall
Night and day

Damn I feel so wierd agreeing with you but yes your right, I also thought the fix was in and when they took all that time "figuring" out the scores I was certain they were going to rob him. I was ok with the judge who had it 115-111 too.

I’m not. 115-111 means that Ramirez won 4 rounds. Bu!!shyte! I know that ESPN is always biased toward the house fighter in this case Ramirez but I usually agree with Tessatores score but he gave 6,8 and 9 to Ramirez. Espinoza won all 3 easily. Fix was in.

The fix was in. I can’t see how this fight was close at all. The 1st was close. Espinoza won 2-4. Obviously Ramires won the 5th but Espinoza won the 6th. Ramirez won the 7th and that was it for him. Espinoza won 8-12 with a knockdown in the 12th. 116-110 would have been an honest scorecard.

Espinoza would have still won even without the 12th Rd kd but it never hurts going in with that mindset.

If you add it up correctly It would have been a draw

[JonDP]

Fun fighter but he's a KO waiting to happen.

The number one guy at 126 couldn’t KO him so good luck with that.

[JonDP]

It took like 20 minutes to come up with the scores, I’m pretty sure the cards were already cooked in Ramirez’ favor but since Espinoza dropped him, they needed to find some blanks and do a quick do over. The public outcry would have been through the roof and their jobs on the line.
