Very Interesting. Wonder what Zurdo's plan is. PBC has Pascal, Browne and Jack, DAZN has Buatsi and Bivol (?) but Warren and Arum hold the rest of LHW contenders and title holders. Would he and.could he do business with Top Rank?

Also Interesting that Hunter finds himself on this card. I'm surprised Matchroom cut ties with him after the draw to Povetkin...also surprised he wasn't picked up by either PBC or Top Rank. Hopefully he finds himself back in some compelling matchups.

Big fan of Gilberto Ramirez but I don’t think he’s got the name or popularity to go on his own. Very curious to see what direction he goes.

Good for him and good luck to him! Proud of these fighters waking up and getting smarter! Stop being at the Mercy of Promoters when you're the fighter, you're the one who fans pay to see not their f^cking big mouth promoters who are robbing fighters blind

Doubt he fights anyone credible any time soon. Good for him handling his career but if the past is anything to go by, I wouldn't expect too much, yet.

These disputes with promoters usually wind up hurting the fighter more than anything else. As you can see Gilberto Ramirez hasn't fought in almost two years. Inactivity can be very detrimental to a fighters career, you must stay active in order to stay on top of your game. Now in those two years his former promoter, still promoted other fighters, and put on many fight cards. So it didn't hurt his business, it hurt Gilberto's career. Now he's going to run the show through his own promotions, that's a really risky move. Gilberto is a very good fighter, he's moving up from 168, to 175 pounds. He's coming off a lengthy inactive period, into a higher division which can cost him his undefeated record. That said he is a top tier fighter with some really good wins on his record such as; Rogelio Medina 23-0, Maxim Valsov 30-1, Gervor Khalchiian 23-0, Arthur Abraham 44-4, Jesse Hart 22-0, Habib Ahmed 25-0, Roamer Angulo 23-0. He has a great chance of beating anyone at 175, and becoming a two division champion. Hopefully the inactivity hasn't affected his skill sets to much. I wish him luck with his new promotional company. I look forward to seeing him fight in the near future.

I agree Dimitri Bivol versus Gilberto Ramirez would be a great fight. I think I would pick Ramirez to win a highly contested fight if they do square off.

Wouldn’t of been surprised if he was fighting Alfonso Gomez
