Who will you be rooting for on Saturday, Bivol or Ramirez?

I like both guys, just hope for clear winner

 

Argh...tough spot to put a fan in! Both are likable guys and seem down to earth. Half of me wants to go with Ramirez since I am of Mexican descent. The other half of me says Bivol because he won me over with the boxing lesson he gave Clenelo and he faced a steep battle (i.e., no national anthem, no flag, no hype, etc.). He took it all in stride and did not let it affect him mentally.

I guess I will have to stay neutral in this fight. However, it is a very intriguing fight. I believe Bivol will win the early rounds as he is the better overall boxer. His hand and footspeed should give Ramirez tons of trouble early. The question is though, will it discourage Ramirez as the fight goes on? If it doesn't, will his size and pressure take a toll on Bivol in the later rounds?

Prediction: Bivol will go on to win a hard fought match with Ramirez closing strong but running out of rounds. Bivol by UD.

 

Zurdo Zurdo Zurdo!

 

The poll is trending down very familiar lines.. hmmmm......Shields-Marshall, ring a bell?

 

Got a feeling Zurdo is gonna regret not getting that experience that comes with fighting the top contenders. He's been feasting on fringe contenders for too long (entire career?), its disgusting.

That said I'm not really rooting for either, I'm just hoping for a good fight. I don't believe even if Bivol and Beterbiev win that we will see that showdown, too much interpromotional baggage.

 

Bivol.....tko...round 9....or ....cruise to UD.

 

Hard to root for a Russian these days. Zurdo all the way.

 

Bivol!

Bivol vs Beterbiev the only fight that matters.

 

Bivol all the way. The weight difference when they step into the ring will be significantly higher than the Canelo Bivol fight. Yet the better fighter is going to win. After this fight, if Bivol wins, Canelo said he’d give him the rematch he promised. Bivol wouod fight him at 168 and take Canelo’s belts but no way wound Canelo agree to that fight. He would have no excuse after he lost.

Bivol Will school the weight bully and maybe knock him out. Great fight.

I like both, Bivol winning sets up an interesting fight with Beterbiev. Not sure he wins though as zurdo looks massive at the weight and also has the style to give Bivol problems. It’s a 55/45 fight in favour of Bivol for me

 

Bivol UD for me

 

Big fan of how Bivol operates, so will be favouring him - but I have nothing at all against Zurdo, so will be first to give hime credit if he scores the upset.

Just hope it's a great fight!

 

Ramirez is not on Bivols level.

If you think it's gonna be a great fight, you'll be disapointed.
