    At lightweight of course.

    What you think? This is interesting because Marquez didn't appear to have the physicality to keep Diaz off him in their first fight and had to give ground and trade. Then, Diaz, who was featherfisted, he was landing a volume of punches.

    Marquez won because he was able to break him.

    Then you have Ramirez - a powerful hitter who is almost impossible to break, and who is a much more experienced stalker.

    But Marquez is clearly a better fighter.

    So what happens here?

    Good matchup

    I think Marquez had better defense and better speed. He would win a decision. I think it would be fairly competitive.

    I actually see Ramirez winning more times than not. KD being the difference in the scoring. He likely doesn't stop Marquez, but he'd knock him down, and thus that would override Marquez landing more volume imo.
