“Zurdo” fighting for his legacy, 41-0 Gilberto Ramirez on mission to join elusive 50-0 club
LAS VEGAS (Май 19, 2021) – Only five boxers have started their professional careers with a 50-fight win streak and the contemporary leader, 41-0 Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez is on a mission to join the exclusive club, continuing July 9тата in Los Angeles againstSullivan Барера (22-3, 14 Нокаута).
Ramirez, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract withOscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, was the first Mexican-born super middleweight World champion, and he is currently the No. 3 класиран в полутежка категория в света, от Световната асоциация Boxing (WBA) и World Boxing Организация (WBO).
Although he won’t turn 30 until June 19, Ramirez has been fighting professionally for nearly 12 години, and one of his goals is to become a World champion in two different weight classes. Another is joining his idol and fellow Mexican, Жулио Сезар Чавес в 50-0 Клуб, in which he is No. 1 having amazingly won his first 87 pro fights. The first blemish on his pro record was a 12-round majority draw with the greatPernell Уитакър в 1993 in their WBC World welterweight title fight.

“Getting to 50-0 is very important, but I’m more interested in being able to fight the fights the fans want,” Ramirez said. “I’ve never turned down a fight and have made it clear to all the fighters I want. I look across the division and none of these fighters are on my level”
Chavez moved ahead of featherweight iconWill Pepпри 62, Do Not. 2 on the contemporary list, compiled in less than three years dating back to the 1940’s. Pep lost for the first time as a pro toСами Angott by 10-round decision in 1943.

Another Mexican boxer is in the 50-0 Клуб, Do Not. 4 Карлос Сарате, who reached 52 straight victories off his pro debut, 51 с нокаут, in the 1970’s. Zarate was stopped in his 53RD fight by Puerto Rican starWilfredo Gomez in the fifth round of their 1978 WBC super bantamweight World championship match.
The only member of the exclusive 50-0 Club to retire undefeated is Floyd “Money” Mayweather, Jr. in fifth place with 50.
The four inactive boxers in the club – Chavez, жизненост, Zarate, and Mayweather – are inducted in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Rocky Marciano иBrian Nielson (49), Лари Холмс (48), Рикардо Лопес (47), Joe Calzaghe (46-0) иJim Barry (45) all came close to 50-0 memberships. Lopez (51-0-1) fought a draw in his 48тата pro fight withRosendo Alvarez.
Ramirez is closing in on boxing history as he fights for his legacy. Five years after he retires, “Zurdo” should rightfully join the four Hall of Famers who are presently ahead of him on the 50-Club list.
