    Goddamn. This would've been a great, great fight.

    Ultiminio was a monster on form. Some of his moves remind me of Napoles actually, he certainly had that Dundee 'wow'-factor about him. His short, tightly structured punches, aggressive angled footwork and just overall style as a pressure fighter is all wrong for Esparragoza. Ramos could also mix things up and box from the outside too, but I don't think he'd need to. Esparragoza's 1-2, hook to the body would probably work to create doubt in Ramos' head. It was an outstanding sequence when Esparragoza was on form. That said, Ramos is too strong a guy with too much of a style advantage (IMO) for Antonio.

    I think Ramos out-hustles Esparragoza, after routinely getting inside and landing flush, hard shots. Great match up.
