00:00Look, here it's good, here it's good, if you want, God bless.
00:07Two big, heavy-hitting cruiserweights about to throw down here in our co-main event
00:12with both the WBA and the WBO world titles on the line.
00:17There is the champ from Mexico, Gilberto Ramirez,
00:21taking on the KO doctor, Yuniel Dordicus,
00:24who's got a little of that Deontay Wilder feel.
00:27He could lose every round, but if he lands that right hand at the right time, it's over.
00:32That's been the message to Gilberto Ramirez throughout this camp.
00:37No matter what happens in this fight, you cannot switch off.
00:44The champ, Ramirez, in the black trunks, Dordicus, and the white and red.
00:51By the way, congratulations to Deontay Wilder.
00:53Good to see him get back on track with a win last night.
00:57But one thing's for sure, it's not going to be a whole lot of moving going on tonight in this fight.
01:05Now, Ramirez's team believes that Dordicus is pretty simple.
01:10Doesn't have great footwork, isn't going to hit you with a lot of feints.
01:14He's going to throw that jab, he's going to set up that straight right hand.
01:17What they want from Zerto early on is to see him boxing a little bit.
01:22Get a feel for the power of Dordicus early, then take the fight on the inside.
01:28And Zerto's last couple of fights here at Cruiserweight have been wars.
01:31Kula Marion and Billum Smith, bloody bruising encounters.
01:35What are we going to see here?
01:36You see there the footwork of Zerto Ramirez.
01:41That's been such an asset for him at Cruiserweight.
01:43Going up against these big, lumbering guys.
01:47That body shot straight left twice, he landed that shot straight to the bottom.
01:51I mean, Tony, that was one of the keys to your success at the bigger weight class,
01:54your footwork and the ability to outmaneuver these guys.
01:56Yeah, you've got to be able to move around and give them angles so that they can turn in two.
02:00That's another way to pick the line.
02:06And I think it's the southpaw stance from the big guy that really did these guys play.
02:11Look at that body shot again, straight left to the body.
02:16You know in the back of the mirrors, his mind, he's going to feel the power of Dordicus
02:19to kind of evaluate how aggressive he wants to be.
02:22Does the 39-year-old Dordicus still have the power that would erase anybody if he got landed?
02:3025 KOs and 27 wins.
02:37Dordicus right now, just putting hands on him.
02:41See that little short uppercut there for Ramirez.
02:44They think that punch is going to be there all night long when they get on the inside.
02:49For a big guy, Ramirez has fast hands for a big guy.
02:54And that's because he moved up from the 68th Division.
02:57Yeah, how did, Chris, we've always talked about, how did Ramirez ever make 168 pounds?
03:02He was rehydrating 25, almost 30 pounds after these fights.
03:06Even for this, he said he's rehydrated up to about 215 pounds.
03:10He's still a big man in this division.
03:13He wants to become undisputed at cruiserweight.
03:15He's going to take a shot at the heavyweight division.
03:17Following Oleksandr Lusik's foot steps.
03:24And another thing when you move up, we're used to guys going combination fast with punches.
03:29And these guys are rolling with their shots.
03:31So Ramirez's defense is a real big factor in his success.
03:35Keep that right hand, keep your back hand, your left hand nice and tight.
03:57You know, he's just kind of trying to rip with that right hand.
03:59You understand what I'm saying?
04:00Keep that back hand nice and tight, okay?
04:03Don't reach for anything. Keep it right there, okay?
04:05When you throw your left hand, careful of overextending and reaching a little bit, all right?
04:10If you do that, roll right away.
04:12You understand?
04:13Try to counter with that right hand, okay?
04:16Keep the jab and the face going at the distance.
04:20If you accidentally reach with the left, be ready to move right away.
04:24And alert on your turn.
04:26Good round.
04:26Hopefully this fight ends up better than the last world title fight we saw between a Mexican and a Cuban.
04:37That being William Skoll versus Samuel Alvarez over in Saudi Arabia, Antonio.
04:42Yeah, that one was hard to watch.
04:43Yeah, I think this fight is going to be dramatically different.
04:49Interesting note, these guys started their professional careers just seven days apart.
04:54Dordikos, August 14th, 2009.
04:56Ramirez, August 21st, 2009.
04:59Good start here for Dordikos.
05:09Serdo's corner was pretty happy with that first round.
05:11I thought Dordikos did a pretty nice job in the first round letting that right hand go.
05:16And backing Ramirez up.
05:17Dordikos wants to be on the front foot in this fight.
05:19He's not as effective fighting off the back foot.
05:22Murat Gassiev was able to back him up in that knockout win.
05:25And Maris Breedis outboxed him significantly.
05:28He wants to be fighting just like this.
05:30Front foot pushing Gilberto Ramirez back.
05:33Ooh.
05:35Good by the shot.
05:37He's stopped, stopped, stopped.
05:38I was going to say, Dordikos was throwing right on that belt line.
05:43He'd been flirting with it for a while.
05:44Worn now by the referee.
05:46He's changing good shots inside now.
05:48Ray Corona, our referee in the ring.
06:00Still waiting to see some of those combinations that Serdo's been known for.
06:07And again, complaining of a low blow.
06:09Love the way Zordikos changes directions.
06:23Looks like he's going up top and then he'll whip it right up underneath.
06:29And Tony, when a guy keeps targeting you low and right on the belt line,
06:32sometimes you've got to check in with one yourself, don't you?
06:34Most definitely.
06:35There you go.
06:36Good three-punch combination from the Maris Breedis.
06:39Again, now a little bit low in the shot from Dordikos.
06:43Zerto's just off to a very slow start by his standards from what we've seen, Chris.
06:47He's kind of getting bullied in a way by Dordikos.
06:50And he's not receiving those body shots.
06:52He's not receiving them well.
06:55He's got to wake up.
06:56Ooh, good right hand.
06:57This is the kind of fight Dordikos wants.
07:13A slower pace where he can oppose his will.
07:15Good shot.
07:16Good shot.
07:17Good shot.
07:18Good shot.
07:19Good shot.
07:20Good shot.
07:21Good shot.
07:22Nice.
07:23Now Dordikos fighting back a little bit.
07:24Dordikos is like, bring it.
07:25Fight fire with fire.
07:26Good body shot again.
07:27Nice.
07:28Nice.
07:29Now Zerto fighting back a little bit.
07:30Dordikos is like, bring it.
07:31Fight fire with fire.
07:32Good body shot again.
07:33Nice work.
07:34Good body shot again.
07:35Nice work.
07:36Good body shot again.
07:37Nice work.
08:04You're only looking for the right hand.
08:08Please don't give him water.
08:14Right there, Dave.
08:16Good uppercut.
08:19By Dordikos.
08:20And the counter left.
08:22By the champ, Dordikos.
08:25Right there, he only threw one punch at a time.
08:27It would have been a great spot to throw him.
08:29That uppercut with one, two punches right behind that.
08:32Like the big man is doing right here, putting both hands together.
08:41Scheduled for 12 rounds.
08:42This is for the WBA, WBO, Unified Cruiserweight Championship.
08:47Being told one of the other world champions in the division,
08:50Jai Opatia is in the building here somewhere tonight.
08:53Jai Opatia with a vested interest in the outcome of this round.
09:02Badu jacked the other champion in the Cruiserweight division.
09:05It was interesting that Jordan came out and it looked like he was trying to apply pressure.
09:10But for some reason, Dordikos backed him up.
09:13And you see his back is toward the rope right now.
09:15It's nice that the Cruiserweight division has these storylines, Chris.
09:18Because sometimes it's kind of the lost division.
09:20And it's like the baby stepchild of the heavyweight division.
09:23It's kind of an away station, in a way, for boxers on the way up.
09:27You pop in there as you're making your way, filling out your body to get to the heavyweight division.
09:32But it's become kind of a money division.
09:34And Zerto Ramirez is a big reason why.
09:36He's become a well-known fighter at 168 and 175.
09:39And, you know, brought his fans and brought his experience to this division.
09:44I don't like the range that's being fought at for Zerto.
09:50I think he's got to make it a closer fight.
09:52Against Chris Billingsmith last time out, he gave Billingsmith a ton of problems
09:56when he was just backed up, making it a fight in a full group, pivoting away.
10:01It's kind of mid-range, allows Dordikos to land that right.
10:04I know it's going to be, it's going to spell trouble if he allows Dordikos to line him up
10:08right here on the ropes with his back like this.
10:11He can land some effective punches.
10:14And, Antonio, you said earlier, you thought that Dordikos could outbox Zerto.
10:18And he may have won the first two rounds.
10:20Yeah, I thought the Cuban boxing background, you know, from the amateurs,
10:23would give him a little bit of edge.
10:25But, hey, Zerto can box too.
10:27And that's why he's been successful at this bigger weight.
10:32Still waiting to see the flashes of hand speed from Zerto.
10:36That quick movement, fighting on angles.
10:41He looks great against Billingsmith in his last bout.
10:44A slower start here tonight for sure.
10:50In your Zerto too, you have to factor in the 12 rounds of this fight.
10:54You're the younger fighter, you're the more active fighter, you're the fresher fighter.
10:59More like that Zerto is stronger in the later rounds than Dordikos.
11:04That's two warnings now from the referee to Dordikos for low blows.
11:14He's clearly instructing him.
11:15One more, and they're going to take a point away.
11:18Crowd booing, and I'm not sure what they're booing, but they can't be booing the call there.
11:22Because that was a clean low blow.
11:24I think they're booing Dordikos saying, stop hitting our guy below the belt.
11:30Do it right here.
11:31I'm impressed with Dordikos.
11:34More active than I thought he'd be at 39 years old.
11:37He thought he'd be more of a one-punch slinger.
11:40But he's putting some combinations together, taking it to the champ.
11:44New York City, two weeks from now, it's the Ring Magazine 3,
11:50headlined by Edgar Berlanga and Hamza Shiraz,
11:53and also Shakur Stevenson defending his WBC lightweight title
11:56against William Zepeda at the Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York,
12:01exclusively here on DAZONE.
12:04Buy it now.
12:07Good left hand.
12:15Still didn't have the power behind those shots.
12:18Looked like he was pushing those punches.
12:24He got to get out, sit down on those punches a little bit.
12:28Right there, I was telling you how, he changes rhythms on his punches.
12:31That's a good scoring punch right there.
12:33Yeah, I thought it was a pretty good third round for Roberto Rodriguez.
12:37We'll take a look at Chris' unofficial scorecard here in a little while.
12:42We'll start round four, scheduled for 12.
12:46And now Zerto starting this round on the front foot.
12:55Heavy hands, you can just see.
12:57He's got bricks in those gloves.
12:59And maybe that's keeping Zerto at bay.
13:01Those combinations.
13:07Who was the heaviest hitter you ever got in the ring with, Antonio?
13:10Well, I know Danny Green hit me with the hardest shot, bro.
13:13He did.
13:14And if I wasn't in great shape, I felt like he could have knocked me out with that punch.
13:22Chris, what about you?
13:23Heaviest hitter you've been in the ring with?
13:25I believe my amateur record on the Boston streets was three and 13.
13:30You killed, you killed, right?
13:31I had a good chin.
13:32I had a good chin.
13:33I thought you were going to say Sinise and Estrada.
13:35Oh, wow.
13:36Okay.
13:37Wow.
13:38We're doing that now.
13:39Zerto now showing us a little bit of head movement trying to get inside.
13:50It seems like Zerto will get to where he wants, but then he doesn't have any success right there.
13:56With the real clean shots.
13:58Right on the top of the head there from Jordan Kos.
14:02Yeah, I think it's the power of the big Cuban that's slowing Zerto down a little bit, but there's some success.
14:09Looking for a way in.
14:10Good left hand from Zerto and a left from Jordan Kos.
14:13Both exchanging big punches right now.
14:24Jordan Kos doing a pretty nice job of taking what Ramirez is giving him.
14:28Ramirez kind of shells up and gets low.
14:30Jordan Kos doing a pretty nice job coming around the guard and landing those hooks.
14:33Just like that.
14:34Body shot there.
14:35Coming back upstairs with the left hook to the top.
14:38Seems like he's in a better rhythm than Jordan right now.
14:41Seems like he's in a much better rhythm.
14:43Things look like they're coming together for Jordan Kos right now.
14:47He's back to champ up again.
14:50But you've got to be careful with those counter punches that Jordan is trying to land.
14:55Chris, if I'm a Zerto Ramirez fan right now, how concerned should I be with the way this fight's looking?
15:01It's not an ideal start.
15:03I do think he's won some rounds.
15:05But right now, the pace is being set by Uniel Dordicos.
15:10And that's not something Team Ramirez wants.
15:12Dordicos told us that's what he was going to do.
15:16I'm going to walk him down.
15:17I'm going to throw fire at him to see if he can handle it.
15:21And I felt like coming into this fight, it was a 50-50 fight even though we had the Unified Champion.
15:28Because this is a kid, you know, personally, he's dedicated and committed to the game.
15:33Good body shots by both guys.
15:37And they slug it out at the end of the round.
15:44Coming up next, it is our main event, Jake Paul and Chavez Jr.
15:50And there's the Paul family.
15:52Dad, brother, and Jake.
15:55What were you like the minutes before you made the walk, Antonio?
16:07What were you doing to stay calm?
16:08Man, you know, you're nervous back there, jitters.
16:11You know, you're thinking about everything you want to do, what could happen.
16:14But once you get in that ring, everything just sort of leaves you.
16:18You know what I mean?
16:19But of course you're thinking about everything right now.
16:25That body shot effective right there.
16:29And the jab from the southpaw.
16:31But again, Dordico's come back and answer.
16:34Now that was a good right hand.
16:37Really good right hand.
16:40But Dordico's closed the round strong.
16:43Competitive round number four.
16:45Here we are in the fifth.
16:48I'd like to see the champ press him a little bit, back him up,
16:52and get some clean shots in.
16:54It's going to change the dynamics of this fight, I believe.
17:02Good Dordico's on the back foot.
17:08You wonder at 39 years old,
17:10is Dordico's going to slow down towards the end of this fight?
17:13Right now he looks like he's got a great tank.
17:16And Antonio, you weren't convinced that the age of 39 was close to the end of your career.
17:26You had a lot of success late.
17:28Yeah, I started late and I kept it up.
17:30And I think technique is the last thing that leaves some of these fighters when you really learn the game the right way.
17:36They say power, I believe technique.
17:40And those power punches, relatively close when it comes to punches landed,
17:44but Dordico's significantly more with the output.
17:48There you go.
17:50Dordico's doing a little bit of what you were talking about, Antonio.
17:58Pushing him back a little bit, not being the back foot fighter.
18:02Not moving backwards the entire round.
18:04But you see Dordico's, he seemed to just be able to plant his feet and not go anywhere.
18:08He's a big, strong guy.
18:10And I think that's giving Zerto some issues, just being strong.
18:16I like the body work, too, from Ramirez.
18:18Starting to pick that up a little bit.
18:20Dordico's keeps going down low.
18:26And Dordico's a stationary target, but Zerto hasn't been able to take full advantage of that yet.
18:32Good left hook, a clubbing shot from Dordico's.
18:36Got him again.
18:38And it's the fact that Dordico's is controlling, I believe, the rhythm.
18:42And, ooh, good shot by the champ.
18:44He landed three nice shots there.
18:46I think you say re-junship.
18:49You want to kind of give that to Dordico's re-junship.
18:57Those first four rounds, who do you have ahead?
19:00Have it even through four.
19:02I thought the first two have been really competitive.
19:06Separated maybe by a couple of punches.
19:08But so far, a pretty competitive fight.
19:16Here we've got Dordico's backing and Miras up again.
19:19Dordico's promised to, quote, teach Zerto a boxing lesson tonight.
19:35More movement now from Zerto, who's on his toes.
19:37So we showed you how things looked in the Jake Paul locker room.
19:47What about Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., his legendary father in the house?
19:53The goal.
19:54The goal.
19:55The goal.
19:56The goal.
19:57Grand Campeon.
20:00He has said, there's no way that my son's losing to a YouTuber.
20:04It's going to be easy work for Chavez, Jr., but nothing seems to be easy work ever for Chavez, Jr.
20:11Never.
20:12Never.
20:13But I must say, man, it looks like he's in good spirits.
20:16You know, I've seen him before, fights before, and doing this whole pressure, weighing,
20:21and he looks good.
20:22He really did.
20:24Yeah, he struggled with making weight in the past, but looks fit as he took to scales yesterday.
20:34Didn't have any trouble.
20:35In fact, he was trying to tease Jake Paul, but Jake Paul was struggling to make weight, not him.
20:41Meanwhile, back here in the cruiserweight division, the same division that they will be fighting in our main events.
20:49Jake Paul has mentioned fighting Zerto one day.
20:52He said maybe next, but I don't think anyone believes that.
20:55He later kind of tempered that, said maybe in the next couple of years.
20:58World title shot.
20:59Let's look at Chris Mannix's scorecard.
21:03He's got Dordicos up by a round as we enter the sixth.
21:10I'm sure a lot of people have been surprised that Dordicos is having the success he is.
21:14What is he doing right, Antonio?
21:15Well, he's standing in front of the big guy, and he's not allowing him to back him up.
21:20I think once the champ can make him and put him on his back, he'll have a lot more success.
21:28And he's going to have to open up a little bit.
21:30You know, he's been at this pace right now for the first six rounds.
21:35He's got to take it up a notch.
21:36He's still waiting for like a big time exchange between these two.
21:41They flirted with it a little bit, but at some point, you know, it's bound to happen.
21:46Nice left.
21:47You know, Zerdos used to being the man pushing his opponent back, confusing them a little bit with that constant movement and hand speed, but today it's towards Dordicos who's asking all the questions.
22:09Good left again. Pepper in the skull is Dordicos.
22:15He's got to be careful, though.
22:16With another low blow, you're going to think the referee Ray Crono is going to take a point.
22:20He's been warned twice.
22:21You know, I went over to the corner of Zerdo Ramirez talking to Julian Chua about what he's seeing.
22:27He said he thinks Zerdo's fighting a great fight.
22:29Really?
22:30He thinks Zerdo's winning by shutout at this point.
22:32He said he likes how when he's moving forward.
22:34He doesn't like when he stands in front of him after throwing punches.
22:37Once, see him spin out, use that footwork, but they think so far so good for Zerdo Ramirez.
22:42And what did you respond back?
22:43Did you give him that Chris Mannix look of disapproval that I've seen all the time?
22:48Good right hand. Good left hand by the champ right there.
22:51He snapped his head back.
22:53But still, Dordicos has been having some success backing the champion on this.
23:01Yeah, heavy jabs for both of these cruiserweights.
23:04Any time.
23:05And these aren't little touch jabs, are they?
23:07These are stiff 2x4 jabs.
23:10And when you're the unified champion, you want to see some type of separation when you're defending.
23:15Controlling the fight and really setting the tone.
23:19And it looks like Dordicos has been the one doing that thus far.
23:23Compendative round here.
23:24Well, the undisputed world heavyweight female champion, Clarissa Shields, will defend her belts against IVF light heavyweight champion Lonnie Daniels of New Zealand.
23:40That's July 27th in Detroit.
23:41You can catch it on DAZN, the home of Combat Sports broadcasting over 185 fight cars a year.
23:45Nice left hand by the Challenger.
23:46And there was a champion, the champion of the entire world.
23:47And there was a champion of the champion of the NFL.
23:48Here's the champion of the United States.
23:49And the champion of the NFL Champion, Clarissa Shields, will defend her belts against IVF light heavyweight champion Lonnie Daniels of New Zealand.
23:51That's July 27th in Detroit.
23:53You can catch it on DAZN, the home of Combat Sports broadcasting over 185 fight cars a year.
24:03nice left hand by the challenger and there was no answer from the champ
24:17right there left hand landed looked like a little push though it could have been a more effective
24:24punch right there the champ landed straight left snapped the challenger head back i think that was
24:31one of his best shots in that round another scene with close round
24:39Gilberto Zerto Ramirez Zerto means lefty and he is of course a southpaw
24:47how did you approach fighting lefties Antonio I didn't have a didn't fight a lot of lefties
24:54Eric Harden was one of the guys that gave me nightmares and fits just because he was tall
24:59and knew how to fight one of those guys from Philly but southpaws they lined up straight
25:04with my left hand so I had no problems with them
25:06one thing the Bears watching when it comes to scoring this guys the body work of Ramirez has been decent
25:2040 body shots landed through six rounds against just 29 for Dordico so part of his game plan was to dig to
25:28the body of Dordico's he's had some success in that area all his been going low
25:33there's that movement that footwork that's just defying Zerto at this weight class they want more of that
25:44that was right on the belt line from Zerto
25:48there we go
25:50missing with the uppercut is Dordico's
25:55good combination there for Ramirez Zerto good at inside fighting
26:03saw a lot of that against Billum Smith they would go forehead to forehead
26:07look like a chance to get the lid close and he's letting his hands go he did that about two or three times
26:11three times three four punch combination inside just like that
26:16yeah more activity here from Zerto in the seventh
26:22like he's opening up a little bit
26:25letting his hands go much more
26:28that close range is just exactly where Ramirez wants to be
26:32don't give Dordico's a chance to extend on that right hand
26:35body shots and uppercuts that's the game plan for DiBerto Ramirez
26:39he's looking to land something that's going to hurt Dordico's right now
26:44for a lot more activity from these guys in the seventh
26:47that's because third of the range he clipped him with a left
26:50the chant no he need one man chant felt like this thing was getting away from him
26:55and now you see him applying the type of pressure that we was expecting him to do early
26:59you got to keep at it Dordico's has an excellent chin
27:02took Mora Garcia a heavy-handed cruiser weight
27:06the better part of 12 rounds to knock out Dordico's
27:11chant being elusive right now
27:16now he's pitching at the proper distance but he's going to close that again
27:20just like that when you get ready to get those punches going
27:23I think he's opening up now
27:26yeah this may be the best round we've seen from Zerto in this fight
27:29nice body shot
27:34you can't say the chant was getting the best of those exchanges until now
27:38left hand lands with Zerto and a good strong seven for the champ
27:44yeah? it's not the first or second that is affecting him
27:53it's the third, the third or the fourth, you understand?
27:57start low, finish high, okay?
28:00deep breath
28:03don't let your concentration go down defensively, okay?
28:06as soon as you're done or where you're...
28:09no
28:10the counter shot, right there, he missed with the left hook
28:17and Zerto is right there with the overhand left
28:20right there, make a miss again, bring that right, that left right back
28:23good count punching by the champ
28:26in those combination punches, you might block two, but you ain't blocking three and four
28:35well looks like, Gilberto has made some adjustments
28:39what should Dordikos now do to make his adjustments?
28:42well, he definitely can't get pushed back
28:45like the champ doing right now, pushing him back
28:47he's gonna have to
28:49start giving some angles and maybe try to, you know, back the champion up like he was having success doing earlier
28:56look, this is the phase of the fight where age and inactivity can play a role
29:0139 years old, which is three fights since 2020
29:04a lot of long layoffs for Uniel Dordikos
29:07we could start to see some of that play out this point
29:10most definitely
29:11good left hand by the challenger right there
29:16yeah, you can see Dordikos is saying
29:18basically, I don't want to do this inside fighting anymore, he's trying to hold on him
29:21got to get a little bit more energy, right on pace in that last round, but see, it doesn't seem like he's continuing with that pressure
29:36let's check in with Claudia Trejos
29:43thank you Todd, I just spoke to Peter Roque and he wants Dordikos to take a break right now to just keep moving laterally
29:51but, if Zurdo stays right in front of him, he's supposed to use that right hand
29:56but in the meantime, they want him to take a quick break in this round
30:00so, take the round off, that's interesting
30:02you had maybe your worst round of the fight
30:04and you take the next round off, Antonio, do you like that advice?
30:07no, I don't usually have a big round and then take the next round off
30:10but, I think he needs to come back
30:12because if he get in this mode, this could continue throughout the fight
30:17I think maybe Chris, the only reason they might say that is because he looks fatigued
30:21maybe, hey, try and catch your breath and let's get him in the night
30:24yeah, but you don't want to fall too far down the scorecards
30:27it is kind of a wild idea to take a round off
30:31in the middle of the competitive game
30:33well, he's not taking a round off, you can tell, Zurdo's forcing him to fight
30:36but he is 39 and has been very inactive
30:41he's only boxed three times since 2021
30:48Chen gotta go back downstairs, but gotta give you two or three downstairs
30:54you gotta give it back to him
31:02see, right there, I think he's a little too close
31:04to really land the level that he's gonna need to hurt Broncos
31:09when you're in that side, that close is really nothing you can do
31:12nothing you can do
31:13powerful, powerful
31:14powerful
31:15I like that move for Ramirez, throw that straight left and move to the right
31:29move away from the power hand at Doricos
31:30Doricos
31:36Doricos has that one punch KO power
31:38he's got to land the ball
31:40he's got to land the ball
31:41he's got to land the ball
31:47he's got to land the ball
31:49he's got to land the ball
31:50he's got to hold for his man
31:51he's got to land the ball
31:52he's got to land the ball
31:54the ball
31:56fifty-croft
31:57with ball
32:11those are just scoring blows really no power there just scoring blows but I love the movement
32:21the angles that the champ is giving here good left hand right hand good combination I think
32:30I think the champ won that round the order coach gonna have to get back on the bike man start
32:35pressing a little bit you know I love that little move he put together there we're through the right
32:39hand but he was throwing it to kind of knock away the glove of Dordikos we've seen some top fighters
32:44do that Canelo's done that David Benavidez has done that I love when guys do that and Chris it just
32:52feels like this fight is starting to slip away from Uniel Dordikos yeah I feel like the last few
32:56rounds Zerto Ramirez has kind of started to dictate the pace of this fight gains momentum there Dordikos
33:05it's gonna have to do something to get it back because right now it seems like Ramirez in cruise
33:08control and if Ramirez really wanted to press that gas a little bit I think he can really do
33:14some good things down here before this fight is over with I don't want to be on the back of
33:20have his back to the ropes well if he if he senses Dordikos is tired maybe he's just trying to draw
33:27him into throwing more punches so there's more openings yes he's waving him in and so yeah yeah
33:32he's looking to do a land a big counter shot then if that's the case
33:35nice yeah Zerto's starting to feel very confident now here in the ninth that he's got this guy all
33:51figured out sometimes you just gotta touch him until you can bust him there's a good uppercut
34:00from Uniel Dordikos good counter by the champ he started this fight pretty well one of a couple of
34:09the early rounds according to Chris Mannix but since then it's Ben Zerto who's taken over the middle
34:15four rounds body work for Ramirez excellent these last four rounds good defense and his right hands are
34:23door to coast he's just telegraphic Ramirez can see them coming he might not have the leverage and the
34:30power that he had on him earlier because of the body work the champ has been doing in school landing
34:35combination clean just like that good right good left hand yeah that was a snapping left from Zerto you can just
34:43tell by the body language of Zerto and the way he's fighting that he senses he might be able to get
34:49him out of here I think he's gonna try one more big rally he's staying right in the pocket Antonio and
34:56he's not even flinching when he gets hit from door to coast good combination by the champ he's backing
35:00him up good kind of shot and that's got to be frustrating for the Cuban whoa wet spot wet spot in the ring
35:11so I'm gonna open that can of Celsius in the middle of the ring
35:15now Zerto throws that right hand to the body it drops the hands of door to coast he opens up
35:31with a straight left been there every time last couple rounds good good body shot by the champ good left hand nice
35:41three rounds to go here from Anaheim and this our co-main event
35:47great left hand by the champion and he really put a lot of pressure on door to coast this round I think really taking control of this
36:13fight but I still wouldn't mind him taking it up another notch
36:21yeah that was a great offensive sequence from Ramirez but a great defensive sequence as well the left hook
36:28from door to coast glances off the shoulder he blocks the right hand
36:31trust your conditioning
36:33trust your conditioning
36:37all right we're round 10 and door to coast is going to have to find a second win somehow
36:47try get back in this fight yeah he has some good early rounds but don't seem like he could uh keep up that
36:54tempo and pace because of the champ really knowing he had to step on the gas to get back in the fight
36:59all right let's take a look at Chris Mannix his scorecard through nine rounds yeah to your point
37:07I thought door to coast had a decent run in the first four rounds split the first four but I thought
37:12he's won every one since Ramirez has just picked up the pace applied the pressure landing the cleaner
37:17more accurate punches door to coast you have to find an extra gear in these last three rounds 88 to 83
37:24zero Ramirez on my part become nauticals he now landed a couple of clean shots to the head well how do you
37:31manage things Antonio when you're a tired fighter that's what the corner seems to leave and yet you
37:36still have to win these rounds what how do you effectively use your energy you know when they say
37:41trust your condition you got to know that your man is tired too you know what I mean and this is a good
37:45time to really not show it you know it's like chess you gotta have a poker face yeah he's gonna take a
37:51he's gonna take a point away right now that was three consecutive low blows and if I'm being honest
37:56guys it looked like door to coast was aiming in that direction he was dipping down trying to hit him low
38:02that was I can understand the frustration on the face observer Ramirez that was that looked like a
38:09deliberate attempt to go low so he pretty much forced the referee hand and that I mean that's
38:15frustration too you know these last rounds have not gone door to coast his way yeah those were not
38:23just low they were way low they hit him on the thigh Chris I mean so much for the belt line
38:29Nautico's gonna need a knockout then oh good good left hand door to coast showing signs of life in
38:36this round well you know he's got that point taken so he's gonna need something big right now he's
38:41gonna need a knockout but that's how he wins all his fights anyway champagne going champ he had blocked
38:56that one that would have been low too yeah but Zerto just walking right through these punches now it
39:05doesn't seem to be afraid of getting hit at all by the cube he's just thinking hey hit me so I can hit
39:11the counter shot we're gonna let his hands go right now beautiful fashion
39:15good uppercut there from going to coast but at this point he's not gonna win a points decision no
39:30matter what he does or so it seems he needs some knockdowns yeah he can't be trading punches
39:34zero not really sit down on his shots either just touching him and touching him and then he'll load up a big body shot two rounds to go
40:00look don't worry about anybody else all right stay focused on the fight all right
40:17good okay look if he's not punching you should and he's locked up you got to be touching him okay
40:27just keep working working working and fighting those holes okay
40:30we won't just keep being smart all right
40:38one low blow yeah but here he's gonna follow it up with another
40:43and to me Antonio that's deliberate when you're
40:47one is an accident when you come right back in the exact same spot for the exact same punch
40:53that was like he was going on the hip side wasn't going on the groin side so that's that's a good
41:02thing there's a lot of real estate on Zerto Ramirez in the midsection you can aim for and not go below
41:08the belt so we are in the championship rounds coming up next it is our main event for what it's worth
41:13Zerto was asked who he thought would win between Jake Paul and Chavez Jr and at one point he said he
41:18would bet his house that Chavez Jr won what but when I asked him on the stage here the press conference
41:23and Jake Paul said all right I'll make that bet Zerto backed off probably has a nice house
41:29I just remember Jake Paul spent 39 million dollars on some property down in Florida
41:35to be an expensive bet
41:42I'll give Dortico's credit man these are withering body shots that Ramirez is hitting him with
41:51now he's complaining that he can't even go to the body without
41:55I mean the referee has given Dortico's a lot of leeway he's landed some low blows that the referee
42:03has issued warnings three warnings by my count before the point was taken away we're getting
42:07to Andrew Galata Riddick Bowe territory where's the walkie-talkie over the head remember that
42:13the ball on MSG another one right there on the belt line that was blocked by Ramirez but when you're
42:20constantly worried about taking a low blow that affects what you're doing to his credit Ramirez
42:27haven't thrown any logo blows back
42:29come on work guys come on
42:36but Dortico's does have that legendary cruiserweight power he needs it here if he has any chance of winning
42:44needs to knock out the champ and they're talking about uh going up and facing some of these other
42:51champions he's gonna have to get his power up at this weight class you know he's touching these guys I
42:56don't think he's hurting these guys he hasn't had a knockout like he mentioned in the cruiserweight
43:00division you're gonna have to power up a little bit if you want to face guys like Apataya and all those
43:05other guys yeah from what you've seen tonight Chris how would an Opataya Zerto fight play out
43:10it's an interesting style matchup Apataya is more athletic Zerto was gonna have to track him down
43:17Apataya probably has better one punch knockout power than Zerto but I'll say at least about Ramirez his resume
43:24is a lot better than Apataya's at multiple weight classes we've seen Opataya in the later round struggle
43:31against fighters where Zerto usually closes really strong nice left there from the jam
43:38good count of 11 it's been a while since Dortica had him on the ropes like this and he's been there for about
43:4410-15 seconds
43:50good count of shot
43:52so three minutes to go here in our co-main event which could be the first fight that doesn't go the distance
44:04tonight and that's the live look in the locker room of Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
44:10say what you will about Chavez Jr. and his conditioning all week long Chris he's had a pep in his step he hasn't
44:17looked fatigued he hasn't looked weight drained looks good yeah I've been saying that and you know
44:22sometimes if your mental is together everything else follows suit
44:27Jake Paul as usual plenty of taunting all week plenty of catchphrases
44:34but he is all business in the ring he wants to be taken seriously he wants to be a world champion
44:38he says I've dedicated my life to this sport and you believe it
44:42yeah I believe it man you can't you can't work this long and hard without you know being dedicated and committed
44:48and now he's seeing the fruits of his labor man and uh I believe just getting to the title shot
44:54is a major victory whether he win or lose
44:58well tonight he's facing a former champion at Chavez Jr. but still some work to go here
45:0312th round can Dorticos land that legendary right hand or will Zerto finish the job here in the final round
45:11we saw the body work continue with Gilberto Ramirez in that last round through 11 rounds an 88 to 58 edge in body shots with Gilberto Ramirez
45:28and you know Dorticos has been landing a lot of punches but you can't really see it on uh the champ's face he's not scrolling not busted up not bruised or anything
45:39trying to see it on the top right now
45:47yeah
45:48yeah
45:49yeah
45:51yeah
45:53yeah
45:54yeah
45:55yeah
45:58yeah
45:59yeah
46:01yeah
46:02I saw him block that.
46:07Sometimes when you've got hands as heavy as Zortico's,
46:09even if you block it, it's still a little bit.
46:11Yes.
46:14But you answered the phone in your mouth.
46:16That's what Fitter BF did to Bebo, Chris.
46:18I remember after that, Bebo said,
46:19hook-ups blocking the punches, but they still hurt me.
46:21Right.
46:22And a swirling hand back.
46:24Close me.
46:29I know Zerno would like to close this
46:31with an exclamation point.
46:33Still in search of his first stoppage win
46:35at the cruiserweight level.
46:51I think Bebo is going to give it one more try
46:53to put the end of the build.
46:55Try to land something significant enough,
46:57maybe drop the champ or hurt him.
46:59He's standing some shots here, but Ramirez is responding
47:03with multi-punch scoring combinations.
47:05Look at the movement now from the big guy.
47:07Yeah.
47:08In the last round, no less.
47:13Both exchange right there.
47:15The water coach just can't even touch Zerdo in this round.
47:22He's just moving the target.
47:24He's finding those angles.
47:26Beautiful work by the champ.
47:28All right.
47:40So does Zerdo now set up a super showdown later this year
47:44against Jai Opatia after he turned in a dominant display,
47:49especially in the later rounds against UDL Dordikos.
47:52here in our co-main event from Anaheim, California.
47:56Good luck from the champ.
47:57And then a right to finish it off.
48:03What grade are you giving Zerdo Ramirez's performance?
48:07Right now, I give him a B.
48:09I give him a B.
48:10Had some great movement.
48:14Worked great to the body.
48:16I think he could have had a lot more leverage on those straight punches.
48:21But overall B, I think he performed very well tonight
48:24with a real fighter in front of him.
48:26Yeah, I think a B is a pretty good grade.
48:29I was less impressed with this performance than I was
48:32the win over Chris Billups-Smith.
48:34I thought that was the finest performance by Convergen Ramirez
48:38after this weight class.
48:39Still, I think this will turn out to be a decisive points victory.
48:43Dordikos scored her.
48:45They're happy about something.
48:46They seem to be anticipating.
48:47Maybe they're seeing something that we didn't see.
48:51Dordikos believes he won this fight.
48:53I don't really think he does.
48:55He believes that he wants you to believe that he believes he won this fight.
48:59I will say those first four rounds,
49:01I don't know if the champ swept those first four rounds,
49:04but I believe that could have been three rounds for Dordikos
49:09before the champ took over the fight.
49:15Well, the expanded FIFA Club World Cup is in full swing.
49:20Catch every game live.
49:21Crumb to zone from Manchester City and Chelsea to River Plate into Miami.
49:25This year's tournament is the biggest and most lucrative in its history.
49:31Free on the zone.
49:41So it's been a good night so far for Mexican fighters.
49:43We just saw Curiel in the last fight get a knockout win.
49:46It appears a dominant, unanimous decision is coming its way for Ramirez here.
49:52Unless, unless, Dordikos knows something that we do not know.
49:57I mean the numbers for Zerno Ramirez are just impressive.
50:00Ninety-six body shots landed in this fight.
50:03Landed 41% of his power punches.
50:07Look, it wasn't like Dordikos was completely outclassed.
50:10He had some good moments, especially in the first half of the fight,
50:13but this felt like a pretty clean decision coming for Zerno Ramirez.
50:17I agree.
50:18Feels like a ten rounds to two, nine rounds to three type of fight.
50:22Yeah, closer fight it appeared, but it seemed like the champ ran away with it.
50:27Well, let's see.
50:28Big Mo has the scores.
50:29Ladies and gentlemen, after 12 full championship rounds,
50:41we go to the judges' scorecards for the official decision.
50:44Judges Steve Weisfeld and Fernando Villarreal see the contest 115 to 112,
50:50while Judge Jack Ray sees it 117 to 110,
50:56declaring your winner by unanimous decision.
50:59And still, the unified WBA and WBO cruiserweight champion of the world,
51:13Gilberto Ramirez.
51:24Two judges score the fight 115, 112.
51:27That's 7-5 with the point deduction for Uniel Dordikosso.
51:31They had it competitive.
51:32I had it the way the other judges saw it, 17-10.
51:35A little bit wider, eight rounds to four in favor of Gilberto Ramirez.
51:42Win and advance.
51:44That's what you do as a champ, and Gilberto Ramirez close strong,
51:47and Tony, that's what you love to see.
51:49Most definitely, and he knew he had his guy right the way he wanted him,
51:53but I still believe he's going to have to power up a little bit
51:56if he's going to want to bang with those other big punches.
