Pretty astronomical jump in class from Zurdo to go from the SMALLER bums a he's been feasting on to Kov. But dream big, I guess.... Kov would eat Zurdo alive.
Kovalev would knock him out.....................he never lost to SOB, the only way you can hurt Kovalev is to cheat, like punching him in the testicles, SOB never beat Kovalev, the video and still pictures prove it..............
Zurdo was out on his feet against Jesse Hart late, or did you forget? Thankfully Zurdo doesn't have an iron chin, if he did, he'd get stretchered out of the ring. Kovalev is a natural bully against everyone he faces, Zurdo only bullies little tiny blown up Ghanaian middleweights with padded records and feather dusters for hands. Zurdo when in with someone who can punch even a teensy little bit, he plays it uber conservative and safe and takes on the role of counter puncher. It really is true, KO's cause amnesia.
If you want to beat Kovalev, Hire SOB Ward to buy off the referee so that his opponent can break the rules, cheat, while Kovalev obeys the rules................SOB knows how to cheat.....................if you go by the rules of boxing, Kovalev has no losses...............
With his management I doubt it he will be ever ready , Ramirez is getting pointless fights right now...
Hes building his resume and stock. Soon he'll have his signature fight, but I still think Kovalev is someone he might not be able to beat.
Here's the last time Ramirez took on someone in the vicinity of Light Heavyweight, a badly drained Vlasov, fighting at Super Middleweight, a full 30 pounds under his optimal weight of 200, and the sheer amount of right hands Vlasov tagged him with was ridiculous, let's see him absorb this kind of punishment from the Krusher, on second thought, I like Zurdo, let's not. Here's the final scores. But the reality is, many of the rounds were 55-45 type affairs. 96-94, 97-93, 97-93 This content is protected
I feel like after the fight with Abraham he had to make another step up, it could be the lack of good contenders and gatekeepers in the division as well? And what about the tournament ... The American continent always wants to sell unbeaten records to the audiance.. Tabiti was hyped too, but never got in the CW tournament. The best opportunity was to participate for Zurdo and I hope at least the winner will face him.
168 and 175 are so far apart in terms of talent that no 168 fighter has a real chance against a current top LHW.
Both are on a bum circuit right now Thats why they need each other I agree Kova the fav, but Zurdo has skill He can make it a good bout if his chin can take the early power Or it may be Kova is damn good & could only be beat by SOG
No, actually they're not, Ahmed was literally a nobody that even I hadn't heard about until the fight was made, with zero notable non tin can names on his resume. Shabranskyy was at least a name, with a semi decent resume, and lost once against the clearly underrated Barrera, Igor Mikhalkin is a solid Euro level fighter who's racked up several impressive wins as of late, including over Oosthuizen, Karpenski and Ngumbo, all three somewhat well known, as in two of them have actually fought on US TV before.
