Perfect connection Gilberto“Zurdo” Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua

להשאיר תגובה

לאס וגאס (מאי 25, 2021) – Back in February of 2019, ארגון אגרוף עולמי (WBO) אלוף סופר במשקל בינוניג'ילברטו "Zurdo" רמירז had made a decision to move up to fight in the light heavyweight division, and he was searching for a new head trainer.

רמירז (41-0, 27 קוס) immediately connected with a then 28-year-oldג'וליאן צ'ואה, a former amateur boxer who had been training boxers atפרדי רואץ '’s famed Wildcard Boxing Club in Hollywood, California. “Zurdo” and Chua are now 2-0 (2 קוס) and preparing for a mega-fought later this year, ideally, against undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight Championדמיטרי ביבול (17-0, 11 קוס).

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, ספורט 29-0 שיא מקצוענים, ורק 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, כאשרטומי Karpency (29-6-1) לא היה מסוגל להמשיך אחרי ארבעה סיבובים, followed last December 18ה עם 10ה round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) כותרת.

Chua was trained by Roach when he was an amateur from Indiana, but when Chua started at Wildcard, Roach’s assistantאריק בראון 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 withאוסקר דה לה הויה’s Golden Boy Promotions, is currently ranked No. 3 by the WBA and WBO. “Zurdo” returns to action July 9ה in Los Angeles againstסאליבן Barrera (22-3, 14 קוס).

Whether it’s Bivol, or the other world light heavyweight champions — ארתור בטרבייב וג'ו סמית – “Zurdo” and Chua are preparing to beat the best for Ramirez to wear the coveted World championship crown in a second division.

Gilberto Ramirez vs. Alfonso Lopez Headlines “Battle of Rio Grande”

להשאיר תגובה
Live Dec. 18ה on pay-per-view from Galveston, טקסס

גלווסטון, טקסס (נובמבר 30, 2020) -- There is a Texas showdown coming December 18ה called the “Battle of Rio Grande,” in which undefeated, לשעבר אלוף העולם במשקל בינוני סופרג'ילברטו "Zurdo" רמירז (40-0, 26 קוס) challenges North American Boxing Federation (NABF) כבד משקל קלAlfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-3, 25 קוס), live on pay per view from Galveston Island Convention Center in Galveston, טקסס.

“Battle of Rio Grande” will be available for live viewing on digital, כבלים ולוויין, החל משעה 8 p.m. ו / 5 p.m. PT, on pay per view for a suggested retail price of only $24.99. FITE will stream worldwide on the FITE mobile apps, כל האפליקציות והאתר הגדולות של OTT (www.FITE.tv), ומדיה ספורט משולבת תפיץ ברחבי צפון אמריקה באמצעות DirecTV, בביקוש, ו- DISH בארצות הברית, as well as in Canada on Shaw and SaskTel.

The main event fighters, Ramirez and Lopez, are co-promoters of “Battle of Rio Grande” under their promotional company names, בהתאמה, Zurdo Promotions and El Tigre Promotions.

רמירז, 29, became the first Mexican super middleweight champion of the world in 2016 with a 12-round unanimous decision over World Boxing Organization (WBO) אלוףארתור אברהם (44-4).  The multi-gifted southpaw “Zurdo” (means lefthanded in English) from Mazatlán, מקסיקו, went on to make five successful title defences, including three against unbeaten challengersJesse Hart (25-0), Habif Ahmed (25-0-1), וRoamer Alexis Angulo (23-0).

Ramirez moved up to light heavyweight for his last fight a year ago, when he stopped 29-6-1טומי Karpency in four rounds, after which Ramirez became a promotional free agent. “Battle of Rio Grande” is his first event as a promoter.

“Promoting is not an easy job,” Ramirez said, “but I have good people behind me. They’ve got my back and we work very well together. I was world champion and now I’m a promoter; I see the big picture. I don’t want to be fighting forever. I started my own promotional company so that when I retire, I will have a good life after boxing. There’s no stress on me as a promoter, the stress is on my team.”

The 6’ 3” Ramirez is a physical specimen who can dunk a basketball and could easily have been a pro athlete in a different sport like football. He follows business trends and by[opening his own promotional company, he’s taking advantages of the new era of boxing, in which he plans to aid fellow boxers, particularly Mexicans, by giving them a larger platform to display their skills.

Working with his opponent in terms of promoting “Battle of Rio Grande” is a sign of two fighters taking control of their careers, as well as being completely independent rather than under a promoter, although Lopez has been promoting in Texas for several years.

“We’ll work together but, בטבעת, he wants my 40-0 Ramirez noted. “I know he’s been training a lot, so he’s going to be faster and stronger, which is good for me because I like fighting good fighters. Everybody wants to take my record, but I’m training (In Santa Monica, כגון) like the champion I am to give fans a good fight. He’s going to bring everything he has into the ring. I expect a good fight. It’s a big opportunity for him. I am fully focused on him because I want the opportunity to be world champion again.”

Lopez will be riding a 10-fight win streak into the ring Dec. 18ה versus Ramirez in the 12-round main event. His most recent fight was 13 לפני חודשים, when he won a 10-round decision over 19-9-1דניס גרצ'וב in Lopez’ first defense of the NABF title he captured in his previous fight with a fourth-round stoppage of 21-3Alex Theran.

Ramirez isn’t looking past Lopez for future fights against world light heavyweight champions Artur Beterbiev (WBC & IBF) דמיטרי ביבול (WBA), because he knows and respects Lopez. The media and public, בכללי, underappreciated Lopez and some have taken cheap shots at him in social media.

“Maybe a little but it’s not a big deal,” Lopez responded to being asked if he was undervalued. “I’ve always said that in this busines, everybody has the opportunity to be seen. Gilberto’s beaten quality guys and he’s a world champion. I’ve promoted myself, mostly in Texas, and I’m well respected within the industry. If they really want to see who Gilberto is fighting, tune in, and then make decisions at the end of the fight and maybe they’ll change their mind. Otherwise, they should keep their opinions to themselves instead of reading about me on social media or matching up who we’ve fought.”

Ramirez has a marquee name, and he represents a career-changing opportunity for Lopez, who has captured four titles, including the NABF crown he’ll be defending. יותר, “El Tigre” holds victories over solid opponents other than Grachev and Theran, כמוDyah Davis ורובין וויליאמס, וב 2011 Lopez extendedקלי Pavlik the distance in a loss by way of a 10-round majority decision.

Lopez isn’t fighting Ramirez simply for a payday, to the contrary. “Nobody walks into the ring thinking they’re just happy to be there,” Lopez explained. “This fight will establish me as a world-class fighter. I feel that the winner will be the best in our division and the guys walking around with their belts should fight the winner. Gilberto is a great fighter who has a lot of experience as a world champion. He has physical attributes that him difficult to fight. He’s strong and always in great condition. I need to be intelligent, able to read him, and in great shape.

“The fight will be about adjustments. We’ve both been in this game a long time and at this high level of boxing, you need to be smart and strategic, but both of us being Mexican, it could turn into a brawl at any time. People will see why nobody wants to fight either of us. I’m excited and I know he is, too. Boxing fans don’t want to miss it!"

World-rated heavyweightMichael “The Bounty” Hunter will face veteranChauncy “Hillyard Hammer” Welliver (57-13-5, 23 קוס), the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Continental Americas champion, in the 10-round co-featured event.
