Boxing Odds, Picks, And Bets: Bivol vs Ramirez
Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez: 44-0 (30 KO), 31 years old, HT 6’2, Reach 75″
First off, Gilberto Ramirez holds an impressive 44-0 record but it’s often criticized for including poor competition. Some of the biggest names on the resume are Arthur Abraham, and Jesse Hart twice. Ramirez is physically strong with great punching power. If the southpaw looks to win this fight, “Zurdo” needs to start fast and hurt Bivol to slow him down.
Dmitry Bivol: 20-0 (11 KO), 31 years old, HT 6’0, Reach 72″
Dmitry Bivol is a fundamental, calm, cool, and collected fighter. Under the brightest lights possible, Bivol utilized his size to bully Canelo inside the ring. The Russian is great defensively and will not leave himself exposed much at all to the power of Ramirez. With only 11 of his 20 wins coming by way of knockout it’s easy to expect Bivol to land for points with his outstanding jab followed by excellent footwork to get out of Ramirez’s range.
Bivol vs Ramirez WynnBET Boxing Odds: Bivol (-355), Ortiz (+280), O/U 10.5 Rounds
Utilizing his jab, I expect Bivol to score easily in each round. Bivol is the better-skilled fighter and Ramirez is going to step into the ring and slug. The price on Bivol is most definitely inflated with his most recent win coming against Canelo. I still think Bivol emerges as the winner though. Bivol will be the best competition Ramirez has ever faced in his career. The difference maker in this match is the elusiveness Bivol has for a big man, which can lead to good counterattacks. Look for this fight to go the distance with the Russian Dmitry Bivol coming out on top -200.
THE BET: Dmitry Bivol to win via Decision -200
