    Agree think a body attack will finish him. Personally think between 6-9 rounds. If your tight at the weight and getting on the last thing you want us Callum Smith's body shots.

    I think that eubank, groves and smith are all so difficult to split, there's and argument for each of them to win, this is what makes it so exciting

    Could be right but if he doesn't gas with the weight cut he has a good jab and good power and Smith against skogland he was terrible he was so easy to hit with the jab and he was only against a decent fighter I think his been exposed as nothing at all special just another decent fighter hearn has yet again hyped up

    It’ll be a good fight mate, i’m looking forward to it. I think it’s been almost totally overlooked cos of the Groves-Eubank fight.

    I think the SMW contest has hotted up because DeGale got beat as before lots of people were saying the best guy in the division isn't in tournament so it doesn't prove best SMW on planet. I never thought he was the best still think that's between Callum Smith and Ramirez who also isn't in tournament (but seems to go under the radar).

    I do fancy Smith to get through Braehmer, but George Groves will win the tournament imo (I also hope he does).

    I was wondering this myself the other day. Why is it Ramirez gets overlooked? His promo team/management?

    Arum feeds Ramirez a steady diet of average fighters.
    He's yet to step up plus he's big 168. I see him moving up a year from now.

    After Paul was mercilessly robbed in Germany twice against Abraham :duh who can blame the Smiths for getting cold feet.

    Cracking fights ahead in this one, I expect Smith to dispense of Braemer pretty easily and the winner of Groves/Eubank to beat Smith. Very fine margins between the big three Brits though.

    Well Eubank is suoposedly a world beater after outclassing a faded Abraham but Ramirez done a better job outclassing a better version of Abraham

    I think on these shores guy is conveniently overlooked. I have thought for sometime him and Callum Smith are the two best in the division.

    I recall a Bunce podcast where admitted past cynicism about the chances of the WBSS, given the inevitable injuries and pull-outs. But, he said he had spoken to Kalle who had reassured him that the contracts meant that there was no reason to fear. He intimated (albeit did not say explicitly) that the contracts are so punitive on breaches, and the rewards for staying-in are so great, that a pull-out would be incredibly ill-advised (and it's not as though there is any "Mayweather money" out there to tempt withdrawl).

    IMO neither Eubank nor Ramirez have beaten anyone of note. Though Eubank is about to step up against Groves and Ramirez has another nobody lined up for Feb.
    Arum needs to throw him in with better fighters.
