With both boxers currently reigning as world champions, the match should be nothing short of explosive on such a huge platform. If you’re intrigued by this exciting battle, our Ramirez vs Billam-Smith betting analysis can provide you with all the content you may need!
Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez Analysis: Seeking New Glory
Gilberto Ramirez, meanwhile, comes into the fight as the current WBA cruiserweight champion with much experience from being a super middleweight titleholder. He has shared a ring with some of the best this sport has to offer while going the distance with Dmitry Bivol in what was ultimately a unanimous decision loss but showed that he can be durable and technically skilled.
- Now competing at cruiserweight, El “Zurdo” has shown flexibility and reliability, capturing his current belt with a clinical points win over Arsen Goulamirian. Still fairly fresh to the 200 pound division, his ring IQ, southpaw stance, and proven durability make him a force to be reckoned with.
- The key for Ramirez in this next boxing match will be to manage the pace of the fight while relying on his experience to outmaneuver the naturally larger Billam-Smith.
Chris Billam-Smith Analysis: Rising Star Seeks Unified Status
This unification bout is going to be something special, and Chris Billam-Smith has taken a path where the amount of development and grit is, in fact, outstanding. He won the WBO title with a thrilling points victory over Lawrence Okolie back in 2023, then went on to defend his belt in impressive style over Mateusz Masternak and Richard Riakporhe. The win over Riakporhe avenged his solitary defeat to date, which really nailed home his position as a leading light in the division.
- This bout, however, is a sizable step up in opposition. While Billam-Smith revels in his aggressive style and high work rate, Ramirez’s southpaw technique and experience against the elite will test the Briton’s ability to adapt.
- The natural size and physicality at cruiserweight may well allow him to take charge, but how he sustains that into, and past, the championship rounds will be pivotal.
