LOS ANGELES (Mars 17, 2022) – John "Scrappy" Ramirez, espoir invaincu des poids coq de Los Angeles (8-0, 7 KOs) revient sur le ring ce samedi (Mer. 19) affronter Roberto "Escorpion" Pucheta (10-20-3, 10 KOs), du Mexique, dans un combat en 6 rounds sur la carte Blair Cobbs-Alexis Rocha (en remplacement de Vergil Ortiz, Jr.-Michael McKinson), présenté par Golden Boy Promotions.

La carte principale sera diffusée en direct sur DAZN depuis l'USC Galen Center de Los Angeles; allez sur la page YouTube de Golden Boy pour regarder le Ramirez vs. Pucheta en direct.

Ramirez est une légende du sport du centre-ville de LA. Son voyage a commencé sur le gril, pas dans un ring, quand il était un membre clé de l'équipe de football de Lincoln High, profilé dans un 2015 documentaire, “ESPN 60: Letterman. Les joueurs venaient d'une section d'Hollywood en proie au crime, criblée de drogues et d'armes à feu. Ramirez était un 5' 4", 160-livre le porteur de ballon dans une équipe qui, à partir de la compétition Pop Warner, et avancé à Lincoln High, qui n'avait pas connu le succès dans le football. Lincoln High est devenu 3 fois champion de la ligue, mis en évidence par son apparition en demi-finale en séries éliminatoires au cours de sa dernière année, qui a finalement conduit "Scrappy" à une place dans l'équipe de football du Los Angeles Valley College.

"Le lieu n'est qu'à cinq minutes en voiture de chez moi,", a déclaré un Ramirez excité. "Je passe littéralement devant tous les jours. J'ai grandi autour de l'USC et j'y ai joué au football. Maintenant, Je me bats dans le centre-ville où j'ai grandi. C'est assez dopant! Mon rêve est de combattre au Staples Center, qui n'est qu'à trois minutes en voiture pour moi. je me rapproche.

"Des choses comme ça n'arrivent pas par accident. Sur Mars 18e, Je montrerai mes compétences devant mon peuple. LA est la ville des champions, mais on n'a pas eu de champion du monde de boxe depuis Oscar de la Hoya, qui a grandi à East LA. Mon objectif est d'être le prochain champion de Los Angeles.

 "Décousu,” qui était l'un des combattants les plus actifs de 2021 avec sept combats, passé avec succès du football à la boxe, bien qu'une carrière de boxeur amateur relativement courte avec seulement 25 rencontres amateurs. Il a remporté les plus grands honneurs aux championnats nationaux Sugar Bert, ainsi que dans les tournois régionaux Golden Gloves et SoCal.

"Je me suis battu pour la dernière fois en décembre 18e, pris une semaine de repos, et est retourné directement au camp d'entraînement au Brickhouse Boxing Club (N. Hollywood)," a ajouté Ramirez, 26 ans. "Je m'améliore et c'est super excitant pour moi. J'ai été avec mon entraîneur de force et de conditionnement, fonctionnement, et travailler sur mes compétences de boxe. Ma formation n'a pas cessé, ça marche à plein régime.

Pucheta n'a été arrêté qu'une seule fois en 33 combats professionnels, de retour 2016 par Emmanuel Navarrete, l'actuelle Organisation mondiale de boxe (WBO) Champion des super poids coq, qui arbore un 35-1 (29 KOs) enregistrement pro.

"C'est un dur, adversaire durable,” Ramirez a noté, "qui a été sur le ring avec beaucoup de bonnes perspectives. C'est une excellente occasion pour moi de faire une déclaration en devenant seulement le deuxième à l'éliminer.

Le rythme accéléré et le développement de Ramirez se poursuivent ce samedi, quand ce sera à nouveau "Scrappy Time", seulement cette fois à la maison.

"Je veux être au sommet et je le ferai," a-t-il conclu. "Chaque combat m'élève. Mon objectif est d'être Non. 1 dans ma catégorie de poids, et j'y arriverai grâce à mon travail acharné et à mon dévouement.

LOS ANGELES (Janvier 12, 2022) – Undefeated bantamweight prospect John “Scrappy” Ramirez (8-0, 7 KOs), the second boxer signed to 3 Gestion des points (3PM) qui gère également 43-0 Gilberto “Zurdo” Promotions, was arguably the most active boxer in the United States in 2021 with seven professional fights, including three on high-profile platforms headlined by “Zurdo,” the former World Super Middleweight Champion, and today the top-ranked World light heavyweight contender.


“’Scrappy’ is a hard-working kid that I’ve known for a while now and it’s great to have him around,” Zurdo commented. ”He brings a larger-than-life personality, and his flare is often well-received. I believe if he continues to work hard and stays in the gym, Le ciel est la limite. We know he’s a true athlete and I would put him against anyone in the bantamweight division.”


“Scrappy” made his pro debut December 18, 2020, on a pay-per-view event promoted and headlined by “Zurdo.” Two fights later, “Scrappy” fought in his first scheduled 6-rounder, in addition to a slated 8-round bout in only his sixth pro fight.


“Scrappy” and “Zurdo” are not related, cependant, they’re close and as the 25-year-old John explained, “With us it’s little bro and big bro. He may not be working my corner, usually because he’s fighting later on the same card, but I’m with him every day we’re training at Brickhouse (Boxe), and he’s always giving me tips and support. I live in downtown Los Angeles only a 15-minute drive from the gym in North Hollywood. It has it all and the real beauty of it is that it attracts fighters to spar and train with, especially when fighters are there for their training camp. We just had ‘Zurdo,’ David Benavidez, and 4-time world champion Brian Viloria, who is there as a trainer, for our last fight.


‘I feel good knowing I was the second fighter signed by 3 Gestion des points. Maintenant, we have other fighters in our stable and that brings more competition. I want to be the best and, even though we’re on the same team, I want to go out there and do what it takes to be the best fighter I can be. I’m with ‘Zurdo” every day I’m in the gym and I watch him. He makes everything look easy, effortless, and that’s beautiful. He put his trust in me and I want to show him it was a good decision. I take great pride in being the first fighter they signed.”’


Ramirez’ long, arduous journey to this point started on the gridiron not in a ring, quand il était un membre clé de l'équipe de football de Lincoln High, profilé dans un 2015 documentaire, “ESPN 60: Letterman.” The players were from a crime-ridden part of Hollywood that was riddled with drugs and guns. Ramirez était un 5' 4", 160-livre le porteur de ballon dans une équipe qui, à partir de la compétition Pop Warner, then advancing to Lincoln High, qui n'avait pas connu le succès dans le football. Lincoln High est devenu 3 fois champion de la ligue, highlighted by semifinals playoff appearance in his senior year, eventually leading “Scrappy” to a roster spot Los Angeles Valley College’s football team.


Despite being warned he’d be red-shirted as a freshman, Ramirez played on the varsity as a true freshman but, after his first season, “Scrappy” wasn’t happy with his playing time nor the business side of college football. “Scrappy” soon found himself in what he described as a “dark place” for months, trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. He tried to enlist in all four military branches, but was rejected because, il dit, due to all the tattoos on his body and their visual placements. Un jour, he heard a friend’s voice from the past saying, ‘Go to a gym.’ Despite having no experience in boxing, he walked into the famed Wild Card Gym to speak with Hall of Fame trainer, owner Freddie Roach, who told Ramirez training would be hard and that he’d need to start as an amateur boxer. His work ethic was admirable and because he was a gifted athlete, everything soon clicked, and he became a student of boxing. Ramirez had 25 rencontres amateurs, capturing top honors in the Sugar Bert National Championships, ainsi que dans les tournois régionaux Golden Gloves et SoCal.


“I was on the right track,”A ajouté Ramirez. “Everything I learned in football from Coach Muskaki Matsumoto (Lincoln High) I applied in boxing like discipline. I trained hard every day and there was no wasted time.”


Ramirez moved to New York City because a boxing friend of his had a manager there willing to help “Scrappy” make his pro debut. Malheureusement, bien que, the pandemic quarantine went into effect, canceling his scheduled pro debut only one week prior to its scheduled date. Ramirez stayed in Churchill Gym, sparring and training, still hopeful of making his pro debut in the Big Apple. He eventually returned to Los Angeles and several weeks before the inaugural Zurdo Promotions event in Galveston, Texas, he received what is now a life-changing call from Zurdo’s manager, David Suh.

“Before I went to New York City, I had talked to David about making my pro debut,”A ajouté Ramirez. “He remembered when I came back to LA and asked if I wanted to make my pro debut on December 18e (2020). I believe everything happens for a reason. I had become friends with Julian Chua at Wild Card. He saw me working at the gym and liked my work ethic. He gave me pointers and told me that one day we’d be working together. Julian became Zurdo’s head trainer and now he’s mine, aussi."


His impressive pro-debut performance – first-round KO — led to enticing “Scrappy” into signing a managerial contract with 3 Gestion des points.


“Scrappy” says he’s an exciting, unique fighter from his ring walk to his outfit, as well as the way he fights. “I bring Bad Intentions into the ring," il ajouta. “It’s fun! I’m a chess player who always plans ahead. I’m versatile and able to adapt in the ring, which is super important. I want to take your soul!"


“’Scrappy’ not only has the skills,” Chua added, “he has the charisma and showmanship it takes to be a real star in this sport. Don’t confuse confidence with arrogance. He takes his training with a world championship attitude.”


A self-proclaimed student of boxing, “Scrappy” has particular enjoyed watching and studying Hector Camacho, Edwin Valero, Adrien Broner, Canelo Alvarez, Gervonta Davis, Vasyl Lomachenko, et, bien sûr, "Gaucher" Ramirez.


“I am destined,” Ramirez concluded. “I’ve seen all this. I visualized, planned, and created these experiences before they happened. I was one of the most active fighters in the nation last year. Mon objectif pour 2022 is to stay busy, keep learning, and make statements. I’d like to have 6 more fights, get ranked, and bring home a championship belt. I will keep winning and give people a show.
