Prediction: Gilberto Ramirez on Points
Result: Gilberto Ramirez by Points
Zurdo retains his unified titles in a pretty solid display. The early rounds were competitive but unlike the commentators, I thought Zurdo was actually winning most of them. He ended up turning his engine on later in the fight and completely took over. Credit to both guys for showing great chins as well because they were both landing big punches and no one reacted. I’m really hoping we get Zurdo vs Opetaia next.
