The win was certainly controversial. Fans are clearly not in a great mood and some are left wondering, will the final fight also be as anti-climatic as this one. Canelo vs. Charlo is something everyone has been looking forward to. However, if that fight too has a similar fate, a lot of fans are going to be left unfulfilled and angry. So what really happened?

In the first round, Ramos looked dominant with jabs landing everywhere for him. Moving forward he landed multiple combos and focused himself on body shots. While his shots didn’t go unanswered, by the third round, Erickson Lubin looked like he had taken some pretty serious damage.
By round 10, both men looked tired and struggling to handle the jabs and hooks. The round ended with the two struggling against the ropes before the last two rounds clocked in. In rounds 11 and 12, the pace had gone down much to the fans’ dismay. Clearly, the two had started running out of energy as the 11th round ended with a bunch of failed punches from both of them.
