Gilberto Ramirez Predicts Bivol's Skill Will Prevail in Beterbiev Showdown
In the sparse landscape of the light heavyweight division, only Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev stand tall, ready to settle the longstanding debate of supremacy. The top contenders have fallen by the wayside, crushed by Beterbiev or outmaneuvered by Bivol. Now, the pound-for-pound stars are on a collision course, set to unify the division in Saudi Arabia on June 1. As the anticipation builds, speculation about the outcome splits opinions. Some foresee Beterbiev overpowering Bivol (22-0, 11 KOs) with his formidable knockout prowess, while others believe Bivol will effortlessly cruise through the showdown. Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez, the former super middleweight champion turned light heavyweight/cruiserweight contender, shares his insights into the impending clash. Having faced Bivol in 2022, Ramirez acknowledges the challenge posed by Bivol's movement and awkward timing, resulting in a decisive loss. While Ramirez hasn't traded blows with Beterbiev (20-0, 20 KOs), he recognizes the power the Russian carries in both fists. From the sidelines, Ramirez leans towards Bivol, emphasizing the Ukrainian's skillful approach and elusive movements. “I think Bivol,” Ramirez told ESNEWS when asked about his prediction. “He’s skillful, he moves. I like him.” The boxing world awaits the clash between these titans, eager to witness the unification battle that will determine the true king of the light heavyweight division. #BivolBeterbiev #LightHeavyweightClash #BoxingPredictions #ZurdoRamirez #UnifiedChampion #SaudiArabiaShowdown #BoxingDebate
