ESPN: José Carlos Ramírez vs. José Encarnación Zepeda & Edgar Raymundo Beltrán vs. Hiroki Okada RBR

Round 9

Ramírez is hurting Zepeda with right uppercuts on the body, just spamming them over and over, nearly folding Zepeda in half with them, but each time Zepeda sucks a little wind and manages to extricate himself from that spot before Ramírez can explode with a power combo upon his unprotected head. Zepeda barely staying clear of harm's way any time he actually scissors his legs and pumps the right jab, but whenever he eases off the gas pedal Ramírez lands that big dipper right downstairs and has Zepeda nearly puking on his shoes.

10-9 Ramírez

88-83 Zepeda

 

Yeah, the previous fight was a nice little amuse-bouche, then with this one the card has "kicked it up a notch", as Emeril would say.

 

If this pattern continues and Zepeda doesn't get stopped on a body shot (highly likely now IMO) then it will be 7-5 in rounds on my card in favor of the southpaw underdog, which means there is ZERO chance of this being officially anything other than a cooked 118-110 x3 for Ramírez.

A lot of those rounds in the first half that @f1ght3rz , @CST80 and I gave Zepeda were the kind you have to really KSAB to see all the subtleties, a lot of morons (including a lot of pro judges) would just give a few to Ramírez on aggression.
