I’m really looking forward to this one. Never heard of Ramirez but he has a 44 and 0 record so he must be a challenging opponent. Hopefully after this (assuming a Bivol Victory) he goes for undisputed and solidifies his status as the best LHW of this generation.
I'm really excited about fight. Ramirez was always a good fighter and I wanted him to step up years ago. He's finally stepping up and we'll finally know how good he is. I think it's going to be a good semi-competitive fight. Ramirez will give Bivol some trouble early due to his size, but I see Bivol winning a comfortable decision.
I actually wouldn't be surprised by a Bivol KO. I know he's not a big puncher, but Ramirez is so slow and Bivol is so fleet of foot that he may just pepper him all night long incessantly until a stoppage occurs.
Its the 2nd biggest fight in the division right now so hell yeah im hyped. Zurdo has to use his size, match Bivol jab 4 jab and hes got to fight at a good pace and force Bivol to go backwards. I dont think Bivol will be able to hurt Zurdo, so taking some risks will benefit him. If he tries to outbox Bivol he will lose. WAR Zurdo
Zurdo has to be taken out because his people always claiming that he is avoided an he's better than Bivol and Beterbiev.
Zurdo was hurt by Angulo but Angulo is very heavy handed and that shot would've dropped an awful lot of SMWs I'm sure I remember seeing Zurdo get dropped when he was a prospect but I might be getting him confused with someone else Yes his competition hasn't been good but I don't think he has a weak chin. He's a quality fighter and is much bigger and heavier than Bivol. He also throws a lot of shots, has a nice punch arsenal and is a good body puncher. He's no pushover for anyone
There are a bunch of Mexican Americans but hopefully it was just the weight he had to drop and he's not chinny we need another champ at a higher weight
Jhonny Gonzalez comes to mind. And the hundreds of fighters from Mexico you never heard of, cause... you know, that chinny chin chin.
