Downes is a great fighter. But I believe with the new weight cut, Ramsey will win.

I wouldn't say "great" fighter. He comes from a good camp and is tough. but that's not enough to keep him around long.
Even on very short notice, the Horodecki fight is still fresh in my mind. And really, his only 2 bigger fights have been that and Stephens. Zhang remains to be seen if he's an average fighter or a bit above.
