Los Angeles Inner-City Legend Undefeated bantamweight prospect John “Scrappy” Ramirez Fighting at home for first time this Saturday

Scrappy action.jpg

LOS ANGELES (Marzo 17, 2022) – Undefeated Los Angeles bantamweight prospect John “Scrappy” Ramirez (8-0, 7 KOs) returns to the ring this Saturday (Mar. 19) to take on Roberto “Escorpion” Pucheta (10-20-3, 10 KOs), de México, in a 6-round bout on the Blair Cobbs-Alexis Rocha card (replacing Vergil Ortiz, Jr.-Michael McKinson), presentado por Golden Boy Promotions.

The main card will be streamed live on DAZN from USC Galen Center in Los Angeles; go to Golden Boy’s YouTube page to watch the Ramirez vs. Pucheta live stream.

Ramirez is an LA inner-city sports legend. His journey started on the gridiron, not in a ring, when he was a key member of the Lincoln High football team, profiled in a 2015 documental, “ESPN 60: Letterman.” The players were from a crime-ridden section of Hollywood riddled with drugs and guns. Ramirez was a 5’ 4”, 160-pound running back on a team that, starting in Pop Warner competition, and advanced to Lincoln High, which hadn’t experienced success in football. Lincoln High went on to become a 3-time league champion, highlighted by its semi-final playoff appearance in his senior year, which eventually led “Scrappy” to a roster spot on the Los Angeles Valley College’s football team.

“The venue is only a five-minute drive from my home,” an excited Ramirez said. “I literally drive by it every day. I grew up around USC and played football there. Ahora, I’m fighting in the inner-city where I grew up. That’s pretty dope! My dream is to fight at Staples Center, which is only a three-minute drive for me. I’m getting closer.

“Things like this don’t happen by accident. En marzo 18º, I’ll showcase my skills in front of my people. LA is the City of Champions, but we haven’t had a world boxing champion since Oscar de la Hoya, who grew up in East LA. My goal is to be the next LA champ.”

 “Scrappy,” who was one of the most active fighters in 2021 with seven bouts, successfully transitioned from football to boxing, albeit a relatively short amateur boxing career with only 25 partidos de aficionados. He did garner top honors in the Sugar Bert National Championships, as well as in the regional Golden Gloves and SoCal tournaments.

“I last fought on December 18º, took a week off, and went right back to training camp at Brickhouse Boxing Club (N. Hollywood),” the 26-year-old Ramirez added. “I’m getting better and that’s super exciting for me. I’ve been with my strength-and-conditioning coach, corriendo, and working on my boxing skills. My training hasn’t stopped, it’s going full force.”

Pucheta has been stopped only once in 33 peleas como profesional, de nuevo en 2016 by Emanuel Navarrete, the current World Boxing Organization (OMB) Super Bantamweight Champion, quien luce un 35-1 (29 KOs) registro Pro.

“He’s a tough, oponente duradero,Ramírez señaló, “who has been in the ring with a lot of good prospects. This is a great opportunity for me to make a statement by becoming only the second to knock him out.”

Ramirez’ accelerated pace and development continues this Saturday, when it’ll be “Scrappy Time” once again, only this time at home.

“I want to be at the top and will," Él concluyó. “Every fight elevates me. My goal is to be No. 1 in my weight class, and I’ll get there because of my hard work and dedication.”

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez fights back against Dmitry Bivol’s claim of turning down a title fight

Zurdo logo.jpg
LAS VEGAS (Enero 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 (AMB) 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, diciendo, “I know for a fact that my team did offer Team Ramirez to fight me December 11º En Rusia, and the purse offered was about the same as what I was offered to fight him on a (Golden Boy Promotions) show. 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.”


Ramírez, the first Mexican to capture the World super middleweight title, es una antigua Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB) Campeón, 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 (OMB) that I had at 168 libra,” 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 rondas ".


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, Dmitry, 43-0 “Zurdo” is the best!

Nicco Tapia, 16-Year-Old Son of Late Hall of Famer Johnny Tapia, to Make Amateur Boxing Debut Nov. 20

16-YEAR-OLD JOHNNY “NICCO” TAPIA STRIVES TO FOLLOW IN HIS LEGENDARY DAD’S FOOTSTEPS AS HE MAKES HIS AMATEUR BOXING DEBUT ON HIS MOM TERESA’S FIGHT CARD

Sábado, Noviembre. 20, 2021, IN MESCALERO, NEW MEXICO

Youngest son of late Hall of Famer Johnny Tapia to fight on the preliminary portion of Tapia Promotions’ Barrera vs. De Leon: “La Ultima Batalla” (The Last Stand) vivir from the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino

ALBUQUERQUE, N.m. (Noviembre. 13, 2021) – While countless high school juniors concern themselves with standardized test scores and submitting college applications, Johnny “Nicco” Tapia, the youngest son and namesake of the late five-time world champion, will commence his pursuit of a pro boxing career when he makes his amateur debut on the preliminary portion of his Mom Teresa’sMarco Antonio Barrera vs. Daniel Ponce de Leonpay-per-view fight card Saturday, Noviembre. 20, 2021.

“Boxing is a passion,” said the 16-year-old currently working toward earning his diploma online. “I love stepping into the ring, getting hit, and feeling the crowd’s energy.”

In the Nov. 20 evento principal, two Mexican boxing legends will lace up the gloves for one final night when Hall of FamerMarco Antonio Barrera(67-7, 44 KOs) returns to the ring for only the second time in more than a decade to square off against former two-time world championDaniel Ponce de Leon (45-7, 35 KOs). The six-round super welterweight exhibition and four additional bouts will air live on pay per view from Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino in Mescalero, Nuevo México.

FITE PPV and Golden Boy Fight Night on Facebook Watch Paid Online will televise the five-bout main card live on pay per view for$9.99 en4:30 p.m. PT /5:30 p.m. MT/7:30 p.m. Y

A native of Las Cruces, N.M., Nicco trains in the Tapia home garage, enjoys studying sociology to “look at people from a different perspective,” dislikes mathematics, and currently has no plans to further an academic career following his 2023 graduation.

“I don’t really plan to go to college,” said the music fan who freestyle raps in his downtime. “I want to keep pushing myself in the ring and turn pro as soon as I get enough experience.”

Surrounded by the sweet science from an early age, Nicco fondly looks back on innumerable heartwarming memories of watching his father train for upcoming fights.

“I used to go to the gym and run around with my Dad every day. When the bell rang, I held up the gloves with him.”

Outside of boxing, the father-son pairing spent quality time playing other sports, enjoying delicious desserts, and tuning into their favorite television programs.

“We used to go to the park, play basketball, and jump on the trampoline,” Nicco recalled. “Dad used to give me ice cream sandwiches. I remember going into his room and watching the show ‘Cops’ together.”

Aiming to find inspiration and discover boxing tips from one of boxing’s all-time greatest fighters, young Nicco frequently rewatches Johnny’s classic bouts.

“I study his speed, head movement, and angles,” said the teenager who models much of his fighting style after his Dad and Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

When asked to name his favorite “Mi Vida Loca” fight, Nicco did not hesitate in listing Johnny Tapia’s hard-fought victory over fellow Albuquerquean and former world champion Danny Romero for the IBF/WBO junior bantamweight titles on July 18, 1997, in Las Vegas, Nev.

“The crowd was wild and crazy,” Nicco recollected. “I love studying my Dad’s boxing technique.”

Originally scheduled to fight at Inn of the Mountain Gods on July 31, 2021, the aspiring actor and former viola player pulled out of his amateur debut when he sustained a hand fracture.

“I was playing football with friends and landed on my hand wrong,” lamented the proud holder of a driver’s license. “It was the first time I injured myself.”

Less than four months later, Nicco is eager to thrill the Mescalero crowd on Nov. 20 before Barrera and De Leon take center stage.

“I am ticking off the days and can’t wait for this night to come.”

Kicking off the festivities, Golden Boy Fight Night on Facebook WatchFacebook.com/GoldenBoyFN and FITE will stream Nicco Tapia’s debut and four additional outstanding preliminary bouts forfree at 2 p.m. PT/3 p.m. MT/5 p.m. Y.

Hard-hitting knockout artist to put his perfect record on the line at Tapia Promotions’ Barrera vs. De Leon: “La Ultima Batalla” (The Last Stand) vivir from the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino in Mescalero, Nuevo México

ALBUQUERQUE, N.m. (Noviembre. 12, 2021) – From overcoming a crime-ridden, west Texas childhood environment to his father’s incarceration and living out of a car as a teenager, the path toward fighting three-time world title challenger Victor Zaleta on Tapia Promotions’Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Daniel Ponce de Leonpay-per-view card Saturday, Noviembre. 20, 2021, has been anything but smooth sailing for the undefeated El Paso boxer Abel Mendoza.

“I was surrounded by violence growing up,” said the 25-year-old lightweight contender who is 30-0 con 23 KOs. “A lot of people that I was around went to prison; I was the only one who didn’t. Boxing was my way out, my safe haven. The sport saved me.”

In the Nov. 20 evento principal, two Mexican boxing legends will lace up the gloves for one final night when Hall of FamerMarco Antonio Barrera(67-7, 44 KOs) returns to the ring for only the second time in more than a decade to square off against former two-time world championDaniel Ponce de Leon (45-7, 35 KOs).

After initially lacing up the gloves at four years old and capturing the Regional Silver Gloves at age eight in Odessa, Texas, the Fort Stockton native secured five titles while defeating all but 20 de su 300 amateur boxing opponents.

Sin embargo, numerous obstacles have beset Abel on his road toward achieving he and his father’s goal of the young fighter becoming a world champion.

“My Dad got into some trouble at the beginning of my boxing career,” Abel said. “He was on house arrest and then went to jail for a while. It was an extremely difficult time for my family.”

While still in high school, the 17-year-old Mendoza often slept in his vehicle after moving from Odessa to El Paso to become a professional boxer.

“That was a point in my career when I was homeless,” the aspiring titleholder recalled. “I was surrounded by a lot of violence and crime in Odessa and left because I wanted a fresh start. Sometimes I had to stay in my car.”

Never one to shy away from strenuous manual labor, Mendoza’s first job consisted of unearthing fruit in a Pecos, Texas, field with his grandfather at age 13.

“It was summer, and we picked cantaloupes in the hot sun all day,” said the multi-faceted student who is currently taking psychology classes at Odessa College. “That was the year I first won Nationals. I still trained while working in the fields. It was the best and the worst.”

Recalling the arduous memories when he did not know where he would sleep or locate his next meal, the Native American history fan finds solace in giving back to the El Paso community during the holiday season.

“I love to help out at shelters because I have been in that situation where I needed food and a place to stay,” said Santa’s helper who also hands out gifts at west Texas hospitals each December. “It makes me feel good to see the children smile.”

Hoping to battle for a world crown within the next year, the never-married Mendoza counsels the wedded on social media when not honing his skills in the squared circle.

“I go on Instagram Live because people ask me for marriage advice. A lot of people need help.”

LAS VEGAS (Agosto 23, 2021) - invicto Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (42-0, 28 KOs) siente que obtendrá su primera oportunidad por el título mundial de peso semipesado porque cree en sí mismo, su promotor Golden Boy Promotions, y su herencia mexicana.


La antigua Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB) El campeón mundial de peso súper mediano es uno de los principales contendientes de peso semipesado., Actualmente puntuar Sin. 2 por la Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB) y n. 5 por la Federación Internacional de Boxeo (FIB), así como No. 9 en El Anillo clasificaciones independientes por primera vez en la división de 175 libras.


Después de la reciente victoria por nocaut de Ramírez sobre Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs), posicionándolo para una oportunidad por el título mundial, el mundo del boxeo esperaba con ansias al “Zurdo” desafiando a la Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (AMB) Campeón de peso súper semipesado Dmitry Bivol después en este año. Bivol casi había asegurado un enfrentamiento con Ramírez a través de publicaciones en las redes sociales., pero de repente cambió su tono y estaba soñando con un combate este noviembre que no va a suceder contra el campeón de peso súper mediano de la AMB y el CMB “Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez (56-1-2, 38 KOs).


Ramírez, de 30 años, ha pedido abiertamente una pelea con Bivol o cualquiera de los otros poseedores del título mundial de peso semipesado., Artur Beterbiev (CMB/FIB) y Joe Smith, Jr. (OMB), cuya pelea de unificación rumoreada no parece estar en el horizonte.


Mientras tanto, los tres campeones mundiales reinantes de peso semipesado se han oscurecido, al menos en cuanto a pelear con Ramirez. ¿Es “Zurdo” demasiado arriesgado para ellos?, o simplemente dudan en pelear contra un retador mexicano probado?


“Dejo mis oponentes a mi promotor, Golden Boy, y su casamentero, Robert Díaz,Ramírez explicó. “Son conscientes de lo que quiero, y confío en que son diligentes y harán lo que sea mejor para mí. Como un luchador, He dejado claro que todos los campeones mundiales de peso semipesado están en mi lista de éxitos.; y no me retracto de mi declaración ni me alejo de las peleas como lo han hecho la mayoría de ellas. En este mundo, todo lo que tengo es mi palabra y pelotas, y no los rompo por nadie. Lucho no solo por mí, sino por mi orgullo y el espiritu del pueblo mexicano. Estamos orgullosos de nuestra herencia y hemos sido los mejores luchadores.. Los rusos saben que eliminaré tanto a Bivol como a Beterbiev.; Joe Smith, Jr. es solo un aperitivo.


“Canelo” y Julio Cesar Gonzalez (2003) son los únicos mexicanos nativos en ser coronados campeones mundiales de peso semipesado, pero todo el mundo en el boxeo sabe que a los boxeadores mexicanos se les llama guerreros por una buena razón.


“Creo que todos son reacios a pelear contra un peso semipesado mexicano como yo.,Ramírez agregó. “Hay una razón por la que Bivol se retracta de su declaración y se queda callado después de todas sus payasadas en las redes sociales.. si hablaba en serio, es una pelea fácil de hacer, y el lo sabe (ambos luchadores han luchado en DAZN). yo también estoy escuchando (Josué) Buatsiel nombre de en la mezcla, pero absolutamente lo destruiría. Todos estos tipos hablan por hablar, pero rara vez caminan por el camino. soy un guerrero mexicano; todo el mundo sabe la forma en que estamos construidos!"


Otros contendientes potenciales en la mezcla, excluyendo a los actuales campeones del mundo, puede incluir Badou Jack, Eleider Alvarez, Maxim Vlasov (Ramírez lo derrotó como súper mediano), y lyndon arturo.

“Mi hora llegará, Ramirez concluyó. “Sé que Golden Boy está trabajando duro para hacer esto realidad y cuando llegue ese momento, todos estos tipos no tendrán dónde correr o esconderse. Dejo con quién peleo al lado de mi casamentero, Robert Díaz. Confío en que Golden Boy hará lo que sea mejor para mi carrera..


“No estoy frustrado, esto es parte del proceso. soy un veterano en este juego. muchos hablaran, pero caerán cuando sea el momento de actuar. De nuevo, Confío en que Golden Boy hará lo que se ha prometido y espero con ansias la pelea que me presentarán”.

Conexión perfecta Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez & Entrenador Julian Chua

LAS VEGAS (Mayo 25, 2021) – Back in February of 2019, Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB) Super Middleweight ChampionGilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez had made a decision to move up to fight in the light heavyweight division, and he was searching for a new head trainer.

Ramírez (41-0, 27 KOs) immediately connected with a then 28-year-oldJulián 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 (AMB) Campeón de peso súper semipesadoDmitry 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, deportivo un 29-0 registro Pro, and only 27 when they first met.

Ramirez’ managerDavid 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, cuándoTommy Karpency (29-6-1) no pudo continuar después de cuatro rondas, followed last December 18º con una 10º round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) título.

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, Actualmente ocupa el puesto n. 3 by the WBA and WBO. “Zurdo” returns to action July 9º in Los Angeles againstSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs).

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

Christopher Pearson de Split-T Management está listo para cualquiera en 160 o 168 libra.

NUEVA YORK (Julio 28, 2020) – El creciente contendiente de peso mediano Christopher Pearson está listo para una actuación revolucionaria contra cualquiera de los nombres más importantes en 160 o 168 divisiones.


Pearson de Trotwood, Ohio, es administrado por Split-T Management, y recientemente se mudó a San Antonio, Texas, tiene un registro de 17-2, y está en una racha ganadora de tres peleas que incluye una victoria sobre el ex ganador de la medalla de bronce olímpica y el invicto Yamaguchi Falcao.


Pearson, que entrena en Los Ángeles con el entrenador del campeonato mundial Manny Robles, ya ha comenzado los preparativos para su próxima misión.


“Empecé a entrenar aquí en San Antonio en el gimnasio de Jesse James Leija. Me acabo de mudar aquí, y me tomó un minuto encontrar un gimnasio, pero una vez que el gimnasio abrió, este es un gran lugar para estar. Iré a Los Ángeles el 30 de julio y empezaré con Manny,” dijo Pearson.


Pearson, quien comenzó su carrera con 13 victorias consecutivas, siente que es un desafío severo para cualquiera en peso mediano o súper mediano.


“Estoy buscando pelear contra los mejores en esas dos divisiones.,y solidificarme como el mejor en el deporte. Siento que la segunda mitad de mi carrera está demostrando que soy el mejor.”


La pelea de Falcao demostró que Pearson puede pelear contra cualquiera en esas divisiones., y a pesar de recibir una llamada tardía para la pelea, actuó a un alto nivel para volver a casa con la enfática victoria por decisión unánime.


“Tomé esa pelea con cuatro semanas de anticipación. No me falta confianza, y se lo que soy capaz de hacer.


Recientemente, Pearson tuvo su nombre mencionado para un enfrentamiento con Canelo Alvarez, y cree que los manejadores de Canelo no estaban muy interesados ​​en una pelea con el 29 Pearson de un año.

“Sé que soy uno de los cuatro o cinco tipos de Golden Boy Promotions a los que se les ofreció esa pelea.. De todos esos tipos, deben de mirarme como un alto riesgo, pelea de baja recompensa. Pelear conmigo es peligroso. Me conocen, porque he entrenado con el, y sabe de lo que soy capaz.”

“Canelo es un contragolpeador, pero no es mejor que yo en el departamento. Tiene mas poder, pero no es tan capaz como yo. Una vez que tengamos en el ring, cualquier cosa puede suceder ... especialmente en 168 libras.”

“Otra pelea que me gustaría tener es con Jaime Munguia. Él está en 160 libras ahora. Puedo superarlo. No veo nada especial en él. Si hace falta vencer a otros luchadores como David Lemieux o Taureano Johnson para conseguir esas peleas, entonces tráelos. Ahora mismo estoy listo para enfrentarme a cualquiera.”

Pearson es promovido por Golden Boy Promotions.
