Dmitry Yuryevich Bivol vs. Gilberto Ramírez Sánchez & Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov vs. Zelfa Barrett RBR.

You gotta be trolling me if you think the only disadvantage Pac had was a health and skill defecit. Try height, reach, size, ring age, etc. The only advantage Pac had was chronological age (rendered useless because of his advanced ring years) and power.

 

I think it was between Round 4 and 5 and the camera focus on Ramirez and he had this dumb, goofy defeated look on his face.

 

Yeah i bet you could tell after the very first round that this fight was done, Ramirez always has that look, he was googly eyeing Bivol all week & had that smirk like he was actually going to do something that Bivol wasn't ready for,

But as usual Boxing delivers,

No wonder people you have been watching Boxing for years seem uninterested & jaded, we've seen all the bs before....

 

Take Froch & the Old version of pity pat Kovalev out & that's a good list, agree with your point on Ramierz.

 

I prefer to think of young Kovalev. Old Vodka soaked Kovalev has been purged from my memory.

 

Same here, always felt bad about the way they underpromoted him throughout his Career & the way they jobbed him out against Ward.

 

No need for a scorecard,

Underwhelming match, but it doesn't fall on Bivol as he came ready & looked good, if anything Shame on Zurdo's lack of heart or effort, you can have all the attributes but it means nothing if your missing the thing that matters most which comes from the inside,

Seemed like Ramirez was all talk after all....

 

Both Pacquiao & Loma should have postponed their bouts & gone on to have their surgeries,

Your probably one of the very few that actually even acknowledges Pacquiao's Shoulder being injured, as most if not all usually pretend it never happened at all as well as the part where Floyd was controlling the drug testing with USADA while injecting his hands all while getting caught masking with an IV,

Guess that gets completely ignored & overlooked, Whatever helps the narrative i guess.

 

Wow, missed this post,

You summed it up well there, Pacquiao really was at every disadvantage & still a Juiced up Floyd wasn't even able to beatdown, drop, hurt, buzz or even deter the smaller man from coming forward all night,

Just goes to show the levels between them two in reality.

 

I don't think Ramirez actually lacked heart or effort. He tried the whole time. What he lacked was skill. He was one dimensional throughout the bout and did not really have a Plan B when Plan A failed.

One of the things about boxers like Usyk, Lomachenko, Bivol and others is that if their movement with both hands and feet befuddle a boxer most guys don't know what to do. I believe Ramirez fell into that category.
