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

[Fearful_Freddie]

Valiant effort from CBS. Opetaia will destroy Zurdo though.

[giacomino]

Good fight. Ramirez fought his kind of fight and CBS took a lot of really clean shots. A tough SOB, though. Have to respect that

[The Gratest]

What a tough bugger CBS is. Ramirez was just too cute for him though, slipping punches, blocking with his elbows and shoulders and using the angles so well.

[skanksta]

Lol at the scores !

Why didn't the corner tell him to go to Zurdos body more , the shot in the 10th stopped him in his tracks , not 1 head shot managed to do that .

Easy work.

116-112x2
116-113

zurdo ud

118-110 for me (1 and 10 for cbs)

[Flump]

I had 118-110. But one of the more competitive 118-110's I've seen.

Same. At least they gave it to the fighter who won

[Ruthless-RKO]

Was a nice fight

[margaret thatcher]

ya it was a good fight. cbs landed a good number of shots himself but his defense was just so porous, zurdo could barely miss and when zurdo landed it was often with super clean head snappers. zurdo though he did get hit rode with the shots much better

[Fearful_Freddie]

Zurdo seems a genuine bloke.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Credit to both men and CBS.

Didn’t think he’d end up going the distance after the midway.

[rd350lc]

Zurdo seems a genuine bloke.

Absolutely, they both are .
Credit to the sport .

[Ruthless-RKO]

I like how CBS put the WBO belt on Zurdo after he was announced the winner.

[margaret thatcher]

yes both very good sports, cbs lived up to his nick name

Yes that was classy

If Zurdo and Opetaia fight, no one is getting destroyed.

[TheLeprechaun]

Schooled. It was always a nightmare style for wooden legged CBS. He got turned and walked into punches all night, almost like the old bull and matador.

Easy work.

Agree, although I don't think Zurdo gets stopped.

[cormack]

got to give credit to zurdo for the win - better footwork and all round movement plu he can take a shot - cbs a bit static by comparison .

I don't see it. Ramirez is a totally different proposition to anyone Jay's boxed. I think Zurdo can outwork him and outmanoeuvre him. It could go either way, but I really don't think it's an easy night's work for anyone. I'd have Zurdo as the favourite.

He looks like he has a great chin but Opetaia is one scary dude .

[Kilburn]

If Zurdo and Opetaia fight, no one is getting destroyed.

Watch out Keith, someone will be along in a minute to tell you "it's all about levels".

It is, but they're both at the same level.
