Brisbane: Leading boxing analyst Ben Savva questioned Diego Ramirez\u2019s stomach for the fight after Max McIntyre\u2019s knockout win on Friday night.<\/a><\/p>\n

Exciting Queenslander McIntyre<\/a> moved to 11-0 with 10 knockouts and retained his WBC Australasian super middleweight belt thanks to a heavy body shot at the end of the first round.<\/p>\n

Diego Ramirez did not recover.\u00a0Tasman Fighters<\/p>\n

There was confusion as to whether McIntyre, 21, had hit Argentina\u2019s Ramirez after the bell but after a long delay referee Phillip Holiday stopped the fight in the \u2018Money Show\u2019s\u2019 favour.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe felt the power and just wasn\u2019t interested. Collect the purse. The reality is he could have fought on,\u201d Savva said on Stan Sport.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ramirez was a late replacement for Bohdan Sobol, the Ukrainian who withdrew after an injury in training.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a bit disappointing, I wanted to put on a better show for you guys,\u201d McIntyre told his home crowd.<\/p>\n

But McIntyre\u2019s manager, Mick Francis, didn\u2019t want to slip the boot into Ramirez, considering the circumstances.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a guy from Ukraine, 20 and 1, great opponent, broke his ribs four weeks ago. This guy stepped in, credit to him. The Money Show had to carry on, but mate, it feels amazing again, he didn\u2019t give that guy a chance.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis record\u2019s better than what he suggests. So he can actually fight, but Max didn\u2019t give him an inch. This guy is going to go all the way. He\u2019s only 21 years old. Mate, I can\u2019t wait for the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have offered every single super middleweight in Australia. No-one\u2019s come up with a call.\u201d<\/p>\n

Max McIntyre retained his belt.\u00a0Tasman Fighters<\/p>\n

It was a shame for the sellout crowd at Fortitude Music Hall, but the punters enjoyed a quality co-main event in which Danny Keating prevailed over Jyl Wright in a unanimous points decision.<\/p>\n
