Ramirez in a good fight. He has a much better gas tank and would drown Buatsi eventually It would be a bomb fest though
Because Bivol is a God. He simply can't be beaten. There's no shame in losing to him. He even beats Beterbiev. The fact that Ramirez was able to pin Bivol on the ropes for a couple of times and dig to the body means he's an excellent fighter. Buatsi has 0 footwork, no gas tank, no jab, low IQ, cannot counterpunch, and only looks to land some big combinations. Ramirez doesn't need much to win this fight
No he'd go to war with Buatsi He looked bad against Bivol because Bivol is that good. Bivol has S Tier ATG Sugar Ray Leonard type agility. It's like how Pascal got severely outclassed and people called him shot, but then he went on a winning streak and even caused an upset. Zurdo definitely KO'S Buatsi after some rounds but it would be good scrap
Bivol clowned him. Made him look like an ordinary fighter. Buatsi has skills and controls the pace very well, zurdo needs someone to come to him for him to counter, he doesnt take the initiative, hed find a way to lose against Buatsi.
Regardless of outcome, this is exactly the right matchup to make. Do Ramirez vs Buatsi, Bivol vs Beterbiev, and the winners fight.
Buatsi's career is being brought on at a snail's pace for a reason. Was probably gambling on Canelo beating Bivol and getting his cash-out. Capable of brief moments of excellence but can't put an entire fight together. I'd still fancy Zurdo to rough him up and win. Bivol would lace up one glove and hold a lit cigar in his other hand while wearing a smoking jacket if he ever face Buatsi...
