B level performance by Zurdo, but plenty of Top level fighters had these nights, Dorticos is a heavy puncher and formerly a world champion, not the best version of the Cuban either, but Dorticos could likely give most cruiserweights a run for their money.
Had it 116-111 in favor of Ramirez. (low blow point deduction)
Another thing to add, Ramirez rehydrated 22 pounds according to Fox Deportes commentary. Quite more than what he did in his other bouts at Cruiserweight. Explaining the slow start, perhaps a tactic to handle Dorticos's punching power. But it affected his performance overall.
Zurdo is making the most of what he has, which isn't much, a fat, feather fisted, plodding fighter with decent boxing skills, no pop, and a bunch of arm punches,....his body looks terrible, the fact that he is a unified title holder is an indictment on the entire division.
