Bivol also was backing ZR up. I'm sure ZR thought he could impose his size and walk Bivol down. When he wasn't as successful at it, he seemed to not have a plan B.
He has potential, but he lacks what a lot of the greats have. He lacks the willpower, determination, and the heart to overcome every disadvantage he might have. I think that is why we saw that **** performance from him last night.
Bivol didn't let him and Turdo'd corner man thought he was in a rocky movie, gave him not strategy or tips. "Chase immortality and just KO him"
lmfao Ramirez was always a hype job. Slow as **** and technically poor. No footwork at all. Plodding forward in a straight line. That's his style. The only reason he went 44-0 was matchmaking. They fed him bums and semi-retired guys who were way past it. His record is the biggest joke in boxing. I mean he's not bad but his biggest asset is his size. I'm so glad Bivol exposed such a blatant record padding. A promoters product. He literally got a world title shot beating a bunch of cans. 175 is l big joke anyway depth-wise. Bivol & Beterbiev on top, then you've got a bunch of solid guys who are clearly LEVELS below those two.
Yes; however, since he kept doing what was not working he guaranteed himself a Loss. So, in essence he fought to NOT get TKO’ed what a brilliant warrior .
Not to be argumentative but I think he knew there was really nothing he could do to win. He thought that plodding along and not leaving himself too open was the lesser of the evils.
Fans are so desperate for fights. Not sure why people were clamoring for this mismatch. Hyping up pretenders doesn't do the fight game ANY good.
I didn't even watch it because i gave Zurdo literally ZERO chance to win. And i had some things to do last night so ya...won't re-watch it either. Heard it was one-sided as it gets. We need Bivol vs. Beterbiev now. It's one of the Top 5 fights boxing has to offer at the moment imo.
I think Zurdo thought Bivol was going to run but instead stood his ground Zurdo looked like them lbs he hydrated were worrying him he didn't look strong at all
Dont know if anyone mentioned it here, but Zurdo fought shorter than Bivol, even though he was a few inches taller. Dont think ive ever seen this to such a degree.
Well Ramirez cannot be called a weight bully as the smaller guy bullied him good and proper. The cruiserweight lost to the light heavyweight, and when he found plan A was not working was unwilling to bite down on his mouthpiece, and risk going out on his shield by using a blitzkrieg approach. "Insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result."
Bivol made him fight shorter. Amazing display of dominance by a shorter fighter!!! Dont underestimate Bivol. Hes a fkn zen master! .
Nino La Rocca went 56-0, Don Steele once went 41-0, Brian Nielsen went 49-0. Unbeaten records mean nothing if you pad them except maybe a payday when cashing out.
