Perfecte verbinding Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua
LAS VEGAS (Mei 25, 2021) - In februari van 2019, World Boxing Organization (WBO) Super middengewicht kampioenGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez had een beslissing genomen om op te schuiven om te vechten in de lichte zwaargewicht divisie, en hij was op zoek naar een nieuwe hoofdtrainer.
Ramirez (41-0, 27 KO) onmiddellijk verbonden met een toen 28-jarigeJulian Chua, een voormalige amateur-bokser die boksers had getraindFreddie RoachDe beroemde Wildcard Boxing Club in Hollywood, Californië. "Zurdo" en Chua zijn nu 2-0 (2 KO) en de voorbereiding op een megagevecht later dit jaar, ideaal, tegen de ongeslagen World Boxing Association (WBA) Superlicht zwaargewicht kampioenDmitry Bivol (17-0, 11 KO).
Hoe Ramirez bij Chua terechtkwam als hoofdtrainer is geen typisch boksverhaal. Ten slotte, "Zurdo" was de eerste Mexicaanse wereldkampioen super middengewicht, sportieve een 29-0 pro record, and only 27 toen ze elkaar voor het eerst ontmoetten.
De manager van Ramirez, David Suh, voerde een zoektocht om de chef van Ramirez in dienst te nemen. Hij had een lijst met enkele van de beste trainers in de branche, evenals een jonge, relatief onbekend - in ieder geval buiten Zuid-Californië - in Chua.
"Ik weet niet hoe ik op die lijst ben gekomen,”Zei een bescheiden Chua. "Er zou een soort try-out zijn om te bepalen wie met‘ Zurdo ’zou werken. We trainden samen in Long Beach (waar Ramirez trainde) en toen ontmoette ik David voor koffie. Hij vroeg of ik interesse had om hoofdtrainer te worden. We hebben nog wat meer samen getraind. Hij hield van de manier waarop ik trainde, en we konden het goed met elkaar vinden. Ik stuurde David een sms dat we het leuk vonden om samen te werken en dat ik geïnteresseerd was om zijn hoofdtrainer te worden.
“We klikten meteen, en we leerden dingen over elkaar en hoe we graag trainden. Ik studeer veel en doe veel onderzoek naar hoe hij was opgeleid, omdat ik hem wilde helpen verbeteren. I was getting four fighters ready in LA and “Zurdo” couldn’t go there for sparring. I said I couldn’t leave these fighters and go to Santa Barbara. “Zurdo” respected me even more for not jumping ship from those four fighters for a better opportunity. We still wanted to work with each other, and ‘Zurdo’ made it work. I went to Long Beach twice a week, he came to Wildcard three times.”
Ramirez won his light heavyweight debut April 12, 2019, wanneerTommy Karpency (29-6-1) kon niet meer verder na vier ronden, followed last December 18th met een 10th round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) titel.
Chua was trained by Roach when he was an amateur from Indiana, but when Chua started at Wildcard, Roach’s assistantEric Brown became Chua’s mentor. During his training career atWildcard West Boxing, nu bekend als Churchill Boxing in Santa Barbara, Chua heeft verschillende wereldkampioenen boksen en MMA getraind.
De 29-jarige Ramirez, die onlangs een exclusief promotiecontract hebben getekend metOscar De La Hoya’S Golden Boy-promoties, is momenteel gerangschikt nr. 3 door de WBA en WBO. "Zurdo" keert terug naar actie juli 9th in Los Angeles tegenSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KO).
Of het nu Bivol is, of de andere wereldkampioenen licht zwaargewicht — Artur Beterbiev enJoe Smith - "Zurdo" en Chua bereiden zich voor om het beste te verslaan voor Ramirez om de felbegeerde Wereldkampioenschaps-kroon te dragen in een tweede divisie.
