I have never watched these fighters before. This fight will happen at 03 : 30 a.m. in the my part of world. I am serious, is this match worthy to awake so early ?

I see.. It is a bit of a late one. Not the best/biggest fight to stay awake for but it could definitely be a good scrap.
Unless you've got work tomorrow or an early morning, I'd say watch it. the card starts at 12am in the UK.. So it's not too bad here.. Main event should be over and done by 3am my time.

No, it's a good fight, but this is no superfight. Only superfights ala GGG/Canelo are worth waking up and fussing over.

Like I said, if you're just looking to watch a decent scrap and have no plans for Sunday morning and can afford a lie in.. Then watch it..
I watched Quigg-Valdez.. Again not a superfight but I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. I know that is a bigger fight thatn Ramirez-Imam but still.. You get the idea..
I'm on a 9-2 shift tomorrow.. So i'm giving it a miss. Not a fight worth staying up for. If I wasn't working tomorrow, I would have tuned it.

May I expect the fan friedly style ? Really, I have not enough spare time to find out their fights on YouTube.
I don't work tomorrow, it is Sunday, but I would not like to awake so early in order to watch some average fighters.
I consider Crawford's moving up at WW as a very good thing for LWW, he was practically the unbeatable champion, and LWW might become the very competitive division soon...............

Neither are average, guy. Winner will actually become a top dude in the division. Also, Crawford was unbeatable because the division sucked when he was there. It's actually gotten exponentially better.
Also, they stylistically match up well. Imam hits hard and Ramirez comes forward.

With Gvovdyk on the undercard in a 'BC interim title fight ( albeit against a soft touch ), I think tonight's Ramirez - Iman card is a must see. There's also Conlan in his first 8 rounder against a pretty good puncher as well. So, I'd definitely make the effort to either stay up until the wee hours or to wake up extra early in order to watch.

Forgot about Conlan...thanks. Are they showing it?

A good scrap between guys who can bang.
Imam has that KO loss to Granados so his chin will remain suspect until proven otherwise.
He'll have to utilize his very good jab effectively to stay in the fight.
Granados wore him down. I think Ramirez will too.
Ramirez is very aggressive and hits maybe harder than Imam.
If he gets by the Imam jab and attacks the body, something he's known for, then I look for him to take out Imam in about 6 rounds.
Luckily I have no problems with the bouts time. The ESPN card starts here in L. A. at 5 p.m. and should end by 8 p.m.
Piece of cake.

Good call SenorPipino. That's pretty much how I see the main event going myself.
I don't see it going much past 6 or 7 rounds, but it should be a barn burner while it lasts.
Iman carries some dangerous power, but I don't think that he can handle Ramirez's pressure or power.

Pretty good undercard so far with brutal action and upsets

ESPN had another terrific main event tonight, following last week's Valdez-Quigg war.
A relentless Ramirez claimed the vacant WBC super lightweight title with a unanimous decision over a very game, very battered Imam.
No shortage of clean, big shots landed in this bout. But it was aggressive Ramirez who landed most of them.
He outlanded Imam 282-189.
Ramirez controlled the fight in a close range war, battering Imam to the head and body
But to his credit, Imam took the heavy shots and landed his own share of solid, inside blows in return.
But it was simply a matter of the will and grit of the non-stop Ramirez overcoming the better overall technique of Imam.
Ramirez is no Crawford, but his rugged style and accurate punching will make him a headache for any 140 pounder.
