    IMO

    Bob Arum ruined his development matching him so horribly...

    Dude is good technically but slow & no power which is a horrid mix

    SMH

    His opposition has been trash & he still looks horrible

    Come on, like I said before the fight, Angulo would give him issues, he just had an awkward style for him. Angulo has decent timing and an off kilter rhythm, and most importantly heavy hands, which made Zurdo hyper cautious for the rest of the match.

    Same here. Good text book fighter with great potential bad matching.

    When he steps up I'll give him a watch, but until then.

    Think I'm taking a good step back myself. Zurdo just fails to impress too often for my tastes, this is hardly the first time he's done this in the past few years.

    Even after tonights performance I would pick Zurdo over all those guys except for Benavidez.

    For the record, I've been off the Zurdo bandwagon since right after the Khatchikian and Edwards matches in terms of expecting him to be an all action Mexican Warrior, but skillset wise, he's probably one of the more sound guys in the division, although I'd pick Benavidez and Groves to beat him.

    Zurdo has many talents, but he hangs his head like a dinner invitation.

    It would have been really interesting if Golovkin had had the balls to accept his challenge.

    All those guys beat Zurdo except Degale. Degale will lose to anyone with talent.

    Not surprised. Jumping off and on bandwagons like it's a bus stop is casual fan idiots do.

    I dont see much improvement in Zurdo. He has great fundamentals and is very skilled, but he isn't learning anything new against this opposition.

    Casuals see Ramirez' undefeated 40+ fights and think he's amazing.

    As a dedicated boxing fan I want to see the top fighters take on the top fighters, if you fail to make the fights the fans want to see happen then why should we continue supporting you.

    GGG had the potential to be bigger had he have a better resume, same with Mikey Garcia, and now Gilberto Zurdo.

    Talented and skilled fighters failing to secure the big fights.

    I don't think so. Zurdo beats DeGale and Groves and loses to Uzcategui and Benavidez. Benavidez is the kingpin at 168.
