Top Rank has announced that WBO Super middleweight Champion Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (34-0) suffered a hand injury in training and was forced to withdraw from his scheduled defense against Germany's Dominik Britsch (32-2-1) - which was set to take place on the undercard of Terence Crawford versus Viktor Postol at MGM Grand Casino in Las Vegas July 23, 2016
What a p****, he could have beaten Britsch with one hand tied behind his back. He should have stayed the course, this is a PPV after all.
Got to love all the GGG haters. "Fight Zurdo", "fight Zurdi"..... Yeah: That would have worked out well.
Dam joke. I wanted to see how Britsch looks. Haven't seen him in years. Relegate to normal HBO. This has 97 thou written all over it
"Earlier, talking to several reporters, he said he had no other choice but to put it on PPV since HBO didnt have enough dates to accommodate the card. Arum said he didnt expect the July 23 card to do blockbuster numbers, given the still emerging status of both Crawford (28-0, 20 knockouts) and Postol (28-0, 12 KOs). " Bob Arum isn't a complete idiot mate.
I cant buy this fight. Thats 70 bones for 2 guys that I could care less to see. I'll split it 2 ways tho if a friend is down to see it.
