What a brutal finish. Sick fight with a lot of good exchanges.
Terrific bout.
Hooker should’ve had a pt deducted or even a dq after the 3rd rd because he was swinging wildly way after the bell for the 2nd time in the fight at that pt. It would’ve been a shame but thats the rules. Anyways though great fight 2 warriors. Ramirez vs Mikey needs to be Next!
Very good fight. On it’s way to being a classic had it reached the second half. Salute to both men.
Excellent fight with Ramirez doing very well against to an adversary with very sound qualifications and a huge reach advantage. The knock down was a wrong call from the referee. .
