Comments Thread For: Gilberto Ramirez Plans To Target Dmitry Bivol After Lopez Clash

[JonDP]

He’s gotta have a stiffer test before anyone gives him a chance against Bivol, that’s for sure

[Armchairhero]

Agree! I don't know what some others want to preach soo adamantly about but they should get their facts straight. Zurdo has been chasing a big fight for a long time it seems. I never ever seen him duck an oppertunity. He was the one all avoided at 168 but look at them now. 168 is still avoiding each other. Top shelf definately has a lot to do with it.

What you talking about, all the top guys fought in the WBSS barring your boy Zurdo.

[killakali]

Yet another top fighter who never got the big fights under top rank. I’m starting to see a pattern here...
They should changer their name to ‘top shelf’, they got the best but nobody in the party is allowed to touch them

Like Liam vs lopez and next up Ramírez vs Taylor?

How about plant never fighting benavidez ?

[tokon]

Great fight. Hopefully it happens.

Bivol won't turn it down.

[jikeccfc]

pretenders

beterbiev knocks bivol and zurdo out on the same night one after the other and have enough energy left to flatten canelo.......

[budfr]

Damn Zurdo is younger than Canelo....GGG always steered clear of Zurdo.

[wildman]

Oh, sure he does. You mean he wants to talk about fighting Bivol while lining up another bum. Tavoris Cloud won a comeback fight the other day. Ramirez is probably already eyeing him for next.

[Mammoth]

Eddie hasn't been able to do much for Bivol, I'm sure he'll pay quite a bit for Zurdo

[Boxing Logic]

Zurdo is Mexican and a future Canelo cherry pick. Bivol is Russian with, judging by the fact his promoter doesn't even bother to talk about him, no fanbase. So, expect Zurdo to wildly overperform the expectations based on the prior performances of both respective boxers up until this point. Always seems to happen. GGG vs Canelo, Loma vs Teofimo, Kovalev vs Ward and Canelo, Klitschko vs Fury and Joshua (not Mexicans or Hispanics, but have the whole UK behind them), Kostya Tszyu vs Ricky Hatton (same). Jirog vs James Toney. Even at cruiserweight, the A level cruiserweights with no fanbase are vulnerable to middleweights with a fanbase. Boxing is a very shady business.

[Boxing Logic]

yep, seems like nobody believes this guy, but Bivol - Zurdo, Beterbiev - Smith Jr would be the semi-finals fans are itching for

Who cares about Joe Smith Jr the guy is a bum. Lost a lot of rounds to a 50 year old Hopkins, Kovalev lost zero. Lost every single round to Bivol. Lost to fricking Eddie Caminero by TKO. Lost to fricking Sullivan Barrera are you fricking kidding me. Barrera who lost every single round to Andre Ward, and lost to Jesse Hart, who lost to Zurdo twice at 168 pounds I mean let's get real.

Joe Smith Jr sucks. He should retire, he's been exposed in not even competitive fights multiple times now. He's a B level guy with a decent punch that on the 1% chance he actually lands it against an A level guy, the A level guy will simply take it anyway because knockouts almost never happen at the A level anymore, too much money is lost when a star gets knocked out because it hurts their ticket sales going forward, and most A level guys are stars.

Joe Smith Jr is basically Breidis Prescott of 175. He might knock out Amir Khan but every time he fights a Terence Crawford, he's going to stink up the joint and everyone in the audience ****** enough to buy a ticket to Joe Smith Jr's fight will regret it, and they will be the only people in that arena getting schooled more than Joe Smith Jr does, except they will be getting schooled in how ****** they were to pay to watch B level (maybe C level actually?) Joe Smith Jr try to compete with an A level boxer.

Would you pay to watch to the Los Angeles Lakers play a high school basketball team in a real game? Then why would you pay to watch an A level boxer against Joe Smith Jr?
