Round-by-Round: Gilberto Ramirez vs. Chris Billam-Smith - 16 November 2024

[KiwiRider]

Hey now Paul/Tyson helped me get to sleep last night so there's that.

The Barrios Ramos fight was really, really good. I only watched that one, and was glad I did.

[forcefraser]

Zepeda exposed a bit there. Farmer almost nicked that

The engine is immense, but the whiskers look a little dodgy and tye tge higher up the levels he goes the more he is likely to get exposed.

I thought he could be more but I saw clear limitations at top level here

This is all on YouTube guys .

the whole show ?

[Bobbyptsd]

Yeah same here (Barrios/Ramos) I didn't watch the female fights because who cares. I tuned back in to the main event and dozed off around about Mike's bedtime.

[KiwiRider]

Here we go, this should also be great.
I feel almost spoilt with this card.

zepeda - world level ??

not based on this for me

Who do you have world level at 135?

C'mon Mags as if you don't know !
Some deep deep talent pool @ LW and Zep levelled out a bit there didn't he ?

Zep will give anyone a good fight, but he's miles behind the next gen in terms of tekkers and you know it.

Zepeda's the fourth best in the world in his division, that's gotta be world class.

Oh yeah, he's solid, but Shak, Mason, Keyshawn, Loma, Tank (?).
If you're a strongman who "can be outboxed" like Zep - that lot are a total nightmare...

the whole show ?

Believe so

[steve689]

Ramirez is coming forward but Barboza is throwing nice sharp shots.

[skanksta]

Scores ?

I'm 3-1 Joe RAM.

[Sammy Scaff]

I wish all those casuals that watched the Paul Tyson farce watched this card. Boxing would be in s better place if this level of entertainment was offered free to air.

They've no interest if it doesn't involve trash talking apes slugging it out, sadly.

[steve689]

Not sure I agree with the commentary. I think Barboza's boxing quite well here. Every time Ramirez gets inside, he's got something waiting for him.

excellent,thanks for the tip

[NoScoutingReports]

Barboza nicking this at the minute I’d say, not a classic by any means but he’s been the more accurate off the back foot.

That's 'ifs', I'm talking right now. Fourth in the world is world class.

[skanksta]

The Sky fans card reckons it's 4-1-1 Barb !?

I'm kinda the opposite - not that much is happening or it's easy to score.

[jameswilson]

Just tuning in on Sky.

Jesus wept it’s empty!

[steve689]

I don't think Ramirez is doing anything apart from lumbering forward. Barboza is ahead for me. There are quick transitions from defence to attack.

[skanksta]

It's a tough fight to score 'cos it's sho1te...

Ram is just lumbering forward, but Barb is just flicking out a counter once a minute.
I've no idea who is winning ?

[NoScoutingReports]

Disappointing fight, this..Ramirez looks seriously off the pace, can’t close the distance and can’t get off for $hit. Barboza just potshotting and looking to pinch it, and probably will.

[Boxerbeetle]

Snoozefest, this one.

[skanksta]

I think Ram won it 6-4 but both looked crap and did almost nothing - "at least Ram was coming forward and being busy"

They'll give it to who they want....

[steve689]

No chance Ramirez won that fight. Didn't land a clean shot all night. Timing is way off. Barboza 8-2/7-3 for me.

[keithmoonhangover]

Underwhelming fight, but I still enjoyed it. Nice palate cleanser for the main event.

[steve689]

By no means a classic but in 30 years of boxing I've seen way, way worse fights than that.
