LAS VEGAS (Ιανουάριος 31, 2022) – Back in December, right after Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (43-0, 29 KOs) stopped Yunieski Gonzalez to become the mandatory challenger for World Boxing Association (WBA) Light Heavyweight World Super Champion Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KOs) who suddenly and surprisingly went dark, until he recently make an unsubstantiated claim that “Zurdo” had turned down an offer to fight him.


Bivol was quoted in a recent boxing news report, which was also picked up by other media outlets, ρητό, “I know for a fact that my team did offer Team Ramirez to fight me December 11ου στη Ρωσία, and the purse offered was about the same as what I was offered to fight him on a (Golden Boy Promotions) σόου. He rejected the offer.”


“I don’t know why he’s saying they offered a fight to me,” Ramirez countered, “but he must be really confused. To be clear there was never a contract that was sent to my team or Golden Boy for a fight; unlike how a contract was delivered to him and his team from Golden Boy for the December bout. I’m confused why he continues to be a pawn and create false narratives and tries everything to hide from this fight. It’s just a matter of time before that belt comes to where it belongs.”


Ραμίρεζ, the first Mexican to capture the World super middleweight title, είναι ένας πρώην World Boxing Οργανισμού (WBO) Πρωταθλητής, who earned his title shot against Bivol by winning his WBA Title Eliminator versus Gonzalez.


“After Bivol, Joe Smith is my next target since he has my belt (WBO) that I had at 168 λίρες,” Ramirez remarked. “I am the best light heavyweight out there and it’s not even close. There’s a reason why these champs are scared to call my name, but soon they won’t have a choice. I would end Smith in less than 6 γύρους. "


Bivol also said in the aforementioned story: “My motivation and my ambitions have not changed for a long time – I want to fight the best. I want to prove that I am the best in my division.”


Guess what, Ντμίτρι, 43-0 “Zurdo” is the best!

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez says Dmitry Bivol now has nowhere to run

zurdo posed.jpg

LAS VEGAS (Νοέμβριος 17, 2021) – Frustrated by Dmitry Bivol’s silence, even after Team Zurdo and Golden Boy Promotions sent the World Boxing Association (WBA) Light Heavyweight World Super Champion a legitimate contract offer, Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez now has a clear path to his first World title shot in the light heavyweight division.

Ραμίρεζ (42-0, 28 KOs) has been matched against Yunieski “The Monster” Gonzalez (21-3, 17 KOs) τον Δεκέμβριο 18 στο Σαν Αντόνιο (TX) in the official WBA Light Heavyweight Title Eliminator to determine Bivol’s mandatory challenger.

“I’m excited to end the year with this eliminator bout,” Ramirez said. “This is the path I’ve been planning for and I’m very humbled and honored to be in this position. The WBA is a great organization and I appreciate Mr. Gilberto Mendoza for allowing me to be in this position.”

Bivol (18-0, 11 KOs) expressed his desire to fight Ramirez before and after the latter knocked out Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs) this past this past July. Suddenly, αν και, Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearns claimed that Bivol would instead fight John Ryder next month in the United Kingdom, and then target WBA and WBC Super Middleweight Champion“Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 KOs), at either 168 ή 175 λίρες.

“I was surprised when Bivol turned down the fight we offered because it was something I thought he wanted. I know he’s a tough warrior and aspires to be the best, which is why I was surprised. He publicly called me out and sand that he was ‘ready.’ But unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case on his end. Πάλι, στην πυγμαχία, this seems like a common scenario where a fighter barks and barks, but he can’t back it up when it’s time to fight. Με αυτό τον αγώνα (vs. Γκονζάλες) in place, Bivol has nowhere to run, and he will eventually have to face me.

“I’m not sure why Bivol thinks Canelo will face him in the near future. The probability of that happening within the next three fights is very, very low for him. Δυστυχώς, I think he’s just the cannon fodder for this scenario.”

The first Mexican to capture the World super middleweight title, “Zurdo” has waited too long to risk his first World title opportunity in the 175-pound division to look past the dangerous Gonzalez’ (21-3, 17 KOs). Ramirez and Gonzalez, αντίστοιχα, are rated No. 3 και αριθ. 4 από το WBA, and their 12-round main event will headline a Golden Boy-promoted card to be streamed live on DAZN.

Undefeated World Light Heavyweight Contender Gilberto Ramirez believes in “Zurdo,” Golden Boy & his Mexican heritage

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο
CHAMPIONS.jpg
(L-R) – Oscar de la Hoya, Gilberto Ramirez & Bernard Hopkins



LAS VEGAS (Αύγουστος 23, 2021) – Undefeated Ο Gilberto "Zurdo" Ραμίρεζ (42-0, 28 KOs) feels he’ll get his first World light heavyweight title shot because he believes in himself, his promoter Golden Boy Promotions, and his Mexican heritage.


The former World Boxing Organization (WBO) super middleweight World champion is a leading light heavyweight contender, βαθμολογηθεί σήμερα αριθ. 2 από τον Παγκόσμιο Οργανισμό Πυγμαχία (WBO) και αριθ. 5 από τη Διεθνή Ομοσπονδία Πυγμαχίας (IBF), καθώς και αριθ. 9 σε Το δαχτυλίδι independent rankings for the first time in the 175-pound division.


After Ramirez’ recent knockout victory over Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs), positioning him for a World title shot, the boxing world looked forward to “Zurdo” challenging World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight Champion Dmitry Bivol αργότερα φέτος. Bivol had all but assured a showdown with Ramirez through social media posts, but suddenly he changed his tune and was dreaming of a match this November that isn’t going to happen against WBA and WBC Super Middleweight Champion “Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 KOs).


The 30-year Ramirez has openly called for a fight with Bivol or either of the other World light heavyweight title holders, Ο Artur Beterbiev (WBC/IBF) και Τζο Σμιθ, Jr. (WBO), whose rumored unification fight doesn’t appear to be on the horizon.


Εν τω μεταξύ,, all three reigning World light heavyweight champions have gone dark, at least in terms of fighting Ramirez. Is “Zurdo” too risky for them, or are they just hesitant to fight a proven Mexican challenger?


“I leave my opponents to my promoter, Golden Boy, and its matchmaker, Robert Diaz,” Ramirez explained. “They’re aware of what I want, and I trust they are diligent and will do whatever is best for me. Ως μαχητής, I’ve been clear that all the World light heavyweight champs are on my hit list; and I don’t retract my statement or shy away from the fights as most of them have. In this world, all I have are my word and balls, and I don’t break ‘em for anyone. I fight not just for myself, but for my pride and the spirit of Mexican people. We are proud of our heritage and have been the best fighters. Russians know I will take out both Bivol and Beterbiev; Τζο Σμιθ, Jr. is just an appetizer.”


“Canelo” and Julio Cesar Gonzalez (2003) are the only native Mexicans to be crowned World Light Heavyweight Champions, but everybody in boxing knows Mexican boxers are called warriors for a good reason.


“I think they’re all reluctant to fight a Mexican light heavyweight like me,” Ramirez added. “There’s a reason why Bivol is retracting his statement and staying quiet after all his social media antics. If he was serious, it’s an easy fight to make, and he knows it (both fighters have fought on DAZN). I’m also hearing (Ιησούς του ναυή) Buatsi’s name in the mix, but I would absolutely destroy him. All these guys talk the talk but rarely walk the walk. I am a Mexican warrior; everybody knows the way we are built!"


Other potential contenders in the mix, excluding the reigning world champions, may include Badou Τζακ, Eleider Alvarez, Maxim Vlasov (Ramirez defeated him as super middleweights), και Lyndon Arthur.

“My time will come, Ο Ραμίρεζ κατέληξε. “I know Golden Boy is working hard on making this a reality and when that time comes, all these guys will have nowhere to run or hide. I leave who I fight next up to my matchmaker, Robert Diaz. I trust that Golden Boy will do whatever is best for my career.


“I’m not frustrated, this is part of the process. I’m a veteran in this game. Many will talk, but they will fall when it’s time to act. Πάλι, I trust Golden Boy will do what has been promised and I look forward to what fight they will present me with.”

Perfect connection Gilberto“Zurdo” Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

LAS VEGAS (Μάιος 25, 2021) – Back in February of 2019, World Boxing Οργανισμού (WBO) Super Middleweight ChampionΟ Gilberto "Zurdo" Ραμίρεζ had made a decision to move up to fight in the light heavyweight division, and he was searching for a new head trainer.

Ραμίρεζ (41-0, 27 KOs) immediately connected with a then 28-year-oldJulian Chua, a former amateur boxer who had been training boxers atFreddie Roach’s famed Wildcard Boxing Club in Hollywood, California. “Zurdo” and Chua are now 2-0 (2 KOs) and preparing for a mega-fought later this year, ideally, against undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight ChampionDmitry Bivol (17-0, 11 KOs).

How Ramirez ended up with Chua as he head trainer isn’t a typical boxing story. After all, “Zurdo” was the first Mexican world super middleweight champion, sporting a 29-0 pro record, and only 27 when they first met.

Ramirez’ manager, David Suh, conducted a search to hire Ramirez’ chief second. He had a list that included some of the top trainers in the industry, as well as a young, relatively unknown – at least outside of southern California – in Chua.

“I don’t know how I got on that list,” a humble Chua said. “There was going to be a tryout of sorts to determine who would work with ‘Zurdo.’ We trained together in Long Beach (where Ramirez was training) and then I met with David for coffee. He asked if I was interested in becoming the head trainer. We trained together a little more. He liked the way I trained, and we got along well. I texted David saying we liked working together and that I was interested in becoming his head trainer.

“We clicked right away, and we learned things about each other and how we liked to train. I study a lot and do a lot of research of how he had been trained, because I wanted to help him to improve. 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, ότανTommy Karpency (29-6-1) δεν ήταν σε θέση να συνεχίσει μετά από τέσσερις γύρους, followed last December 18ου με 10ου round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) τίτλος.

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, known now as Churchill Boxing in Santa Barbara, Chua has trained several world champions in boxing and MMA.

The 29-year-old Ramirez, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract withOscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, κατατάσσεται αυτή τη στιγμή Νο. 3 by the WBA and WBO. “Zurdo” returns to action July 9ου in Los Angeles againstSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs).

Whether it’s Bivol, or the other world light heavyweight champions — Ο Artur Beterbiev καιΤζο Σμιθ – “Zurdo” and Chua are preparing to beat the best for Ramirez to wear the coveted World championship crown in a second division.

Gilberto Ramirez hunting undefeated Russian light heavyweight world champions

“Zurdo” targets Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol

LAS VEGAS (Μάρτιος 31, 2021) – Former world super middleweight championΟ Gilberto "Zurdo" Ραμίρεζ (41-0, 27 KOs) is on the hunt and his targets are undefeated Russians, Ο Artur Beterbiev καιDmitry Bivol, αντίστοιχα, the reigning WBC/IBF and WBA Super light heavyweight World champions.

The 29-year-old Ramirez, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract withOscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, κατατάσσεται αυτή τη στιγμή Νο. 4 και αριθ. 5, αντίστοιχα, by the WBA and WBO.

Ramirez was unimpressed by Beterbiev’s recent fight and he wonders where Bivol has been the past 1 ½ έτη, because he hasn’t been in the ring.

In his first fight in 519 ημέρες (Οκτώβριο. 12, 2019), Beterbiev showed signs of rust and possibly age (36) κατά τη διάρκεια του 10ου round technical knockout of his relatively unknown German opponent, Adam Deines (19-2-1, 10 KOs).  Τώρα, Beterbiev is talking about next fighting the winner of the April 10ου Τζο Σμιθ, Jr. (26-3, 21 KOs) έναντιMaxim Vlasov (45-3, 26 KOs) τον Απρίλιο 10ου for the vacant WBO 175-pound division title. Vlasov, τυχαία, was defeated by Ramirez via a 10-round unanimous decision in 2015.

“I expected a lot more from him (Beterbiev),” Ramirez talked about Beterbiev’s fight with Deines. “I thought he looked flat and dull for the majority of the fight. It’s nice of him to temporarily hold my belts, but he should know that I’m coming for all the hardware and will bring the titles back to my people in Mexico.”

Bivol hasn’t thrown a punch during a fight in 17 μήνες, since winning a 12-round unanimous decision againstΟ Λένιν Καστίγιο.  Instead of returning against a “name” fighter in defense of his WBA Super title, Bivol will be returning May 1st in London against somebody namedCraig “Spider” Richards 16-1-1, 9 KOs), the WBA No. 8-rated light heavyweight who has never fought outside the United Kingdom.

“I’ve always said Dmitry Bivol was the toughest challenge out there,” Ramirez added, “which is why I want to make this fight happen. I know he’s got a fight coming up and hopefully he stays undefeated so we can make the mega-fight this summer.”

“Zurdo” is on the hunt!

Oscar De La Hoya’s strong support primary reason Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez signed with Golden Boy

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

LAS VEGAS (Μάρτιος 1, 2021) – Undefeated world light heavyweight contender and former world super middleweight champion, Ο Gilberto "Zurdo" Ραμίρεζ (41-0, 27 KOs), recently signed an exclusive promotional contract with Golden Boy Promotions, primarily because of the strong support he will receive fromOscar De Lay Hoya and his team.

“Ultimately,” the 29-year-old Ramirez explained, “Golden Boy understood the goals and agendas I set for myself and I felt the strong support from Oscar and his team. It’s a multi-fight deal with potential for something longer pending this first experience. From all the conversations my team and I have had with Golden Boy, I felt comfortable with them and the future opportunities that will arise from our relationship.

“Oscar is a great guy and it’s been nothing but a pleasure dealing with him and his team. As my relationship with Golden Boy continues to grow, I’m sure we (Όσκαρ) will become closer. He’s a champion and one of the greatest to ever lace up the gloves. I look forward to working to him closely.”

Ramirez’ goal is to become the undisputed light heavyweight champion world, something he will have a better shot of accomplishing with Golden Boy in his corner.

"(WBA Super light heavyweight World championΝτμίτρι) Bivol (17-0, 11 KOs) is someone who has always been on the radar and I have full faith in (Golden Boy matchmaker) Robert Diaz to put together the best fights for me,” Ramirez added. “Unification has always been the goal. I know I’m the best in the division and hope to make this happens for the history books in the near future.”

This past December, Ramirez launched his own promotional company, Zurdo Promotions, which will remain active.

“Zurdo Promotions will continue and stay active,” Ramirez said. “Going forward, all my fights with Golden Boy will be in association with Zurdo Promotions. I will host fights in Mexico to be a bridge between Latin America and the United States. There’s tremendous talent in that region and I hope to use my platform to help and support the underserved fighters in Mexico.”

Ραμίρεζ, who is tentatively slated to return to the ring in May, κατατάσσεται αυτή τη στιγμή Νο. 1 από το WBC, καθώς και αριθ. 4 και αριθ. 5, αντίστοιχα, by the WBA and WBO.

HUMBERTO “TITO” VELAZCO SCORES SENSATIONAL KNOCKOUT IN EL PASO, TX

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο
Photo by Mario Serrano – Πρίγκιπας Ranch Πυγμαχία
Aguascalientes, MX (Φεβρουάριος 19, 2018) – Αυτό το παρελθόν Σάββατο, στο Don Haskins κέντρο στο Ελ Πάσο, TX, Προσφορές ζάχαρη light-heavyweight prospect, Ο Humberto “Τίτο” Velazco (19-1-1, 14 KOs), scored the knockout of the night, κατά Θωμάς “Top Dog” Williams Jr. (20-4, 14 KOs).
Velazco, who hails from Aguascalientes, Μεξικό, rallied from an early first round knockdown, which was more of an off-balance circumstance. Velazco wasn’t hurt and evened the score in the second round with his own knockdown, catching Williams with a short right to the face, a punch he didn’t see coming. Williams survived the round but was walking on wobbly legs. Now in a rhythm, Velazco’s timing was on point as he sent Williams to the deck for the second time in round three, this time hurting him badly with combination of punches. Williams survived once again only to be stopped in round four when Velazco, a heavy-handed southpaw, blasted him with a straight left, αναγκάζοντας τον διαιτητή να σταματήσει τον αγώνα στο 1:37 σημάδι.
“It was a great feeling to get a knockout in my first fight in the united states,” said Humberto Velazco, που διοικείται από Greg Hannley of Prince Ranch Boxing. “When I got up from the knockdown I wasn’t hurt, but it definitely woke me up. When I dropped Williams, Ήξερα ότι ήταν κακό, but the round ended. I knew I had to step it up and I got him out of there. I’m ready to fight all the big names at light-heavyweight and super-middleweight. Άδωνις Στίβενσον, Σεργκέι Κοβάλεφ, Dmitry Bivol και Ο Artur Beterbiev are at the top. I want their belts, so they are on my target list.”
A genetic freak, Velaszco stands slightly over 6″1, and has a rare combination of speed and power. His athletic pedigree runs in the family as his brother is a professional basketball player.
“When I first saw Velazco in the gym, I knew he was something special,” είπε Oscar Vazquez, CEO of Sugar Promotions. “He has great feet for a big man and showed he can bang with the best of them. I’m very grateful to the folks at PBC, who gave us the opportunity to fight on this card. I believe Velazco will be the next big star to come out of Mexico.”
“Velazco is a super athletic fighter with a great personality.” said Prince Ranch Boxing’s Greg Hannley. “His final knockdown was amazing. We have big plans for Tito and everyone on boxing will know his name soon.”
Velazco vs. Williams Jr. was showcased on the PBC card headlined by Victor Ortiz vs. Ντέβον Αλέξανδρος. Look for Velaszco to be back in the ring by summer, most likely in his hometown of Aguascalientes, Μεξικό.

“You only get one pro debut, so when Greg announced this show, he and I thought it would be a great idea for me to turn pro on this show instead, in front of my hometown friends and family,” explained Rahman.
Ο 25χρονος, son of Hasim “Ο Βράχος” Rahman, who famously knocked out Lennox Lewis in April 2001 to win the WBC and IBF Heavyweight Championships, says to being at home is a very important part of his mission.
“I’m doing this for my family and my friends and my city, so I think I should start right in front of them,” Rahman continued. “And someday I’ll bring them back the heavyweight championship. I can’t wait to fight on the same show as my brother with all my loved ones watching. It’s going to be a very big night.”
“We didn’t get the final word we were doing the Maryland show until a few days ago,” δήλωσε ο Greg Cohen. “But once we knew it was happening, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to let Hasim Jr. turn pro at home. It just worked out perfectly.”
