There's been some amazing cards in Saudi Arabia, its such a shame the atmosphere doesn't match. Feels like we're watching fights during covid again which is a shame.As the scores are announced by Michael Buffer, Chris Billam-Smith applauds Gilberto Ramirez after a fine performance from the Mexican.
They both embrace at the final bell after a gruelling fight. We go to the scorecards but surely they'll be heavily in favour of Ramirez.We might have heard wrong, but Billam-Smith's corner has not urged him to go for a knockout in the final round.Billam-Smith is exhausted but forward he comes as he makes Ramirez eat a lovely one-two. It's been a gruelling fight from the off and Billam-Smith's eye is a fine example of that.
The only thing is, Ramirez has never been down in his career, this is now looking like an almost impossible task.Ramirez's accuracy is unbelievable. It's pinpoint, right on the button. He doesn't have incredible power and it's a good thing he doesn't or else this fight would probably be over.
