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

Bivol would have to be on his bike for 36 minutes against Beterbiev

I cant see him avoiding any clinches tbh

 

Embarrassing, but what's worse is the fact that the Fighter didn't give it his all especially with all his interviews saying people should Bet their House on him, sad.

 

I still slightly favour Beterbiev. People don't land on Bivol. No one does, so every punch must be made to count, including those which find shoulders and arms. And when a punch finds the chin or body each must leave an impression. Every punch Beterbiev throws, hurts. And Bivol doesn't have the fight-ending power to stop Beterbiev seeking those few potentially decisive openings.

That said, I'm not at all confident about all of the above. It's just a gut feeling...

 

Many have clearly overrated Ramirez' capabilities and resume. Bivol was good, but there are many better at that weight alone

 

Dominant low blows were in full effect

 

Beterbiev, Usyk, Kovalev, Pacquiao, Margarito, Froch, Morales, Hagler, Hearns would never back down in the face of a physically strong and technically competent opponent the way that Loma has done or the way Zurdo did last night.

Those are my type of guys. That's a fighter. After last night I can no longer call myself a fan of Zurdo.

 

Pac while more than a half decade past prime was beaten by Mayweather. So what? Means nothing to me as far as my fandom is concerned.

 

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.
