The way Ramirez’s was snapping Imam’s head back from punches. Ouch!!!
Brutal!
Very enjoyable fight.
good fight, the way boxing should be. Ramirez clearly the better fighter boxer, he kept coming forward and picked his shots.
Why not stop posting Top Rank highlights here, since Arum and co. are such jerks that cannot even let people see the whole fights the day after they occurred? I live in Europe and it is virtually impossible to catch these fights in real time in order to follow Top Rank fighters do to the time difference since I often work on Sunday mornings, plus the fights are on ESPN. Top Rank is such a grimy company for this.
Even though I saw only the 4 last rounds of this fight (video was short) it was very good and active. Both have good skills but Ramirez is more accurate and a kind of a “punch throwing machine”. In the last round, while trying to win for knock out, he unnecessary exposed himself because Iman was still very dangerous.
