its fair to say McKenzie is a journeyman but high end nowadays

What a mental fight that was. Ramirez never looked the winner until 20 seconds from the end.

The best bit though was after the second knockdown. When putting the gum shield back in, it looked like the ref told them to give Ramirez a drink to help revive him. Either way he let them do it :D

Ovill is always dangerous early in fights. Expect something similar.

This is a huge task for Ovill but I hope he can pull it off. He is an underrated and exciting fighter with huge power. It is great that he is given this opportunity and I hope he can pull off the upset.

This should be a decent shootout while it lasts. Ramirez does it brutally within six.

This should be a good one. Ovill will have to dig in from the start cause I cant seem him getting a decision. I hope he chooses constant instead of immediate and does not blow his wad in the first 3 to 6 minutes. Love to see the upset.

Wow a split draw. I thought Ovill won the fight but would get robbed. A rematch in the Uk would be fair play.

The engine is slow here tonight

Ramirez won a close fight

And i agree, there were some good fights tonight... not much conversations
