Comments Thread For: Gilberto Ramirez-Eleider Alvarez Eliminator Heads To Purse Bid

[MulaKO]

Tru! And let’s not forget he’s built like a Cruiserweight! I can say with very lil doubt Zurdo loses and it’s not even close.

Alvarez really is a good boxer
Very solid fighter with two important attributes : power and solid chin


[=Squ□redCircle34;20384579]Storm will knock him out, Zurdo won’t have the same insane size advantage he enjoyed at 168 and his power is nothing compared to Kovalev at 175 IMO!

At the same time I doubt the fight happens!

Zurdo might be fighting in the courtroom[/QUOTE]

I think your right
This fight might never happen although I’d rather see Alvarez vs Smith
I think Smith deserves it much more than Zurdo although he’d probably get more accolades beating Zurdo
But as a boxing fan , imo Smith would be a better fight with much more excitement

I'm not sure what to think of Zurdo, especially at LHW. He struggled with Hart at 168; you could say he was weight drained but Hart may well have been also. Can't really make much of the Karpency win. I think Zurdo is good but I'm not sure he can beat the top guys at 175.

I think Eleider can hurt him but could also be potentially outhustled. Interesting match.

As for his estranged relationship with Ol' Bob...I try not to bash or support one promoter over another...but i will say this: If I was a boxer, I think Bob would be my last choice among the major banners.

You are right on point here.
Good test for Zurdo.

Zurdo is a ****ing idiot

lmfao was just thinking that. He could have been fighting for the vacant belt, now he has to fight a former champ for the chance

You don’t know how Bob Arum works???? When you got like 1-2 fights left he makes you sign an extension or let’s you sit so you can’t finish the contract. I remember when Chavez jr. got his $7 million paycheck cut to like $2 million without an extension to fight ggg

This is the one thing I like about Haymon. His fighters never seem to have these issues. Even when they don't want to stay which is rare he will let them go like Vanes Martirosyan. Would be cool if the contracts were similar to the NBA where you knew when it would and and Promoters could trade fighters contracts.
