In what has become one of the best boxing weekends all year, this Goulamirian vs Ramirez prediction will prove why there are no fights more worthy of watching than this WBA world cruiserweight title bout.
The two fighters slated to square off in this DAZN and Golden Boy co-promotion have a combined 72-1 professional fighting record — and have faced their fair share of top-tier talent.
Yet, only one of these elite fighters is going to leave Los Angeles, California this weekend with the WBA world cruiserweight belt wrapped around their waist — and our Arsen Goulamirian vs Gilberto Ramirez prediction will give you a good idea of who that might be.
Goulamirian vs Zurdo Prediction
Arsen Goulamirian Preview
While Arsen “Feroz” Goulamirian — a French boxer with a 27-0 professional record, which includes 19 KO victories — has never faced an opponent with the skill level as Ramirez, he has proved time and time again that he’s up for any challenge.
The most impressive part about watching Goulamirian fight is the devastating power that he wields in his right hand; not to mention his willingness to walk down his opponents and exchange brutal blows.
It will be interesting to see whether it’s Goulamirian or Ramirez who has the power advantage when they fight. Yet, regardless of that, our Goulamirian vs Ramirez prediction is that “Feroz” will be the one who is taking the fight to his opponent.
Whether that will result in success for the French fighter remains to be seen — but what’s for sure is that it should produce an exciting fight.
Gilberto Ramirez Preview
Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez — a Mexican fighter with a 45-1 professional record, which includes 30 KO victories — has made his name by remaining extremely active across his career, and fighting some of the world’s best boxers.
While the title fight Ramirez had against Dmitry Bivol back in 2022 didn’t go his way, there’s no shame in losing to such a dominant champion. Plus, the southpaw showed us during that fight why he has a great chance of winning the WBA world cruiserweight belt this weekend.
Ramirez is excellent at using his long arms to his advantage — and considering that he will have the reach advantage against Goulamirian this weekend, we expect to see him throwing constant jabs in the champion’s face.
That being said, our Arsen Goulamirian vs Gilberto Ramirez prediction is that the challenger would be wise to avoid Goulamirian’s power at all costs, and not let himself get sucked into the brawl that the champion will likely want to produce.
Arsen Goulamirian vs Gilberto Ramirez: Razor Thin Decision
Our official Goulamirian vs Ramirez prediction is that Gilberto Ramirez will win.
Because we have a ton of respect for both boxers’ durability we believe that Ramirez to win by decision — currently available at +100 — is his most likely path to victory.
Yet, if someone is going to get a finish in this fight, we expect it to occur late. Therefore, taking the Over 10.5 rounds prop (available at -290) is another great option.
