WBO World Super-Middleweight Champion Gilberto Ramirez takes on Habib Ahmed, where someone's 0 has got to go.

Super-Flyweight Jerwin Ancajas is used to comparisons with his co-promoter Manny Pacquiao, but is out to create his own legacy. allegedly viewers had the pleasure of watching the Filipino twice in 2017 and he'll want to put on another show on his US debut with his IBF belt on the line.

Four fights and coverage starts at 2am!

Not one I'll particularly stay awake for. Zurdo needs better opposition.

I’ll never turn down the chance to watch some boxing, but that’s definitely a ‘record and watch in the morning’ type of card.

Another top notch display from Ramirez, punch perfect and maybe the best ive seen him, I hadn't seen Ahmed before and he never won a round but he did look strong let his hands go with some force, he was tough as well and took a wicked shot but Ramirez systematically broke him down with every punch in the book, great accuracy and his punch volume is phenomenal, body shots and hooks around the side, superb to watch, he needs the big fights though

Great from Ahmed's corner to stop things, Ahmed was getting battered

Would you not rather see him in there with someone who poses a threat? Ahmed didn't try to win.

He tried, he just wasn't capable of giving any better of an effort than he gave. Ramirez was the best fighter he'd ever fought by a huge margin.

Someone on another forum said it was like watching a welterweight against a cruiserweight.

You could see Ahmed was trying to win, he let his hands go with intent but it was a lost cause, Ramirez was far too good, he's an elite fighter and by 3 rounds Ahmed's fight was all but gone, at least offensively, his grit was still evident though

Ahmed would give Truax some problems I'm sure
