Comments Thread For: Gilberto Ramirez: I'll Go To 175, I'm Ready To Challenge Gvozdyk

Would be a good fight. 175 is a stronger division anyway and Haymon won't match any of his guys with Zurdo at 168 so there's really no point in staying there.

Zurdo NEVER impressed me to be honest and he did not look good last night either vs Jesse Hart. He did Injure his left Arm and maybe struggling to make 168 played a factor I guess we will have to see how he looks at 175.

This is a Solid fight though!

Zurdo should unify at 168

*try to*

Mundo vs Zurdo would be a fight I'd love to see... it's whether Hearn and Arum can agree on platform I think.

Uzcategui and Benavidez (if he can keep his tests clean) hold the other two pieces and any match between the 4 of these guys promises to be a good fight.

All four of them are big, big guys for 168 though and will eventually end up at 175, Mundo and Zurdo within a coupla years I'd imagine.

Stay at 168 and fight other champs, including future paper champ Canelo.

It's been 2 years and there hasn't even been an attempt to unify. Time to move up since TR has an inhouse fight for him

Zurdo has never impressed me. He has no power, doesn't have much of a jab, fights small and is not very responsible defensively. He will get eaten up at 175. He struggled with a mediocre Jesse Hart twice, I just don't see it going well for him at 175.

he should take his time at 175 nothing but big punchers in the top 10

I’d avoid going to light heavy if I was Zurdo, nothing but good fighters at the top end of the division. He should try to unify at super middle before moving up, unless he’s having real weight struggles.

No way in hell Smith stops Ramírez.

Ramírez is better than Smith, simply he can't make the 168 pounds.

Been a champ for a couple years and not fought a top fighter at 168. Smith stopped consensus no.1 in the division so I think he can find a way. Also Zurdo's doesn't have his usual size advantage at the weight against Smith.

He's been sheltered for 2 years+ when he could have made good fights at 168 - it's his fault for letting promoters match him with bums. Now he has to move to 175 with a weak resume at 168.

Great win for Zurdo!
No disrespect to GR. But he has no power to be elite at 175.
Clean up the 168
Uzcategui be a great fight!
