Panel: What do you expect to happen when Dmitry Bivol and Gilberto Ramirez clash this Saturday?

This week’s panelists were asked to predict the outcome of Saturday’s light-heavyweight bout between Dmitry Bivol and Gilberto Ramirez

Leigh Wood (Featherweight contender)

I think Dmitry Bivol’s boxing skills and experience will be a bit too much for Gilberto Ramirez, who has had his best wins as a super-middleweight. I think we will get a lot of points for Bivol.

Dave Allen (Strong contender)

I think Ramirez is good, and he is so good, I think Bivol will get the decisive point. I don’t see anyone at 168 (pounds) or 175 beat Bivol on his best day.

Wayne Alexander (Former European Super Middleweight Champion)

I expect it to be a very good match and a great test for both of them, but more so for Ramirez, who is coming up from super-middleweight after holding the WBO belt for three years. there. He is currently a boxer who is possibly the best in the light-heavyweight division; a person who has held his title for five years. Gilberto can be tough with his Southpaw style and punching prowess, but Bivol, who is also a world-class amateur, has probably faced this type of boxer before. This is why I chose Bivol to win points.

John Itkes (Coach)

I would expect fireworks as it heats up. I think Bivol is too smart to be dragged straight into a fight but too much to be a warrior at some point. To be honest, I’ve seen more Bivol than Ramirez and think that Bivol, a big and strong athlete, decides the score.
