Perfect connection Gilberto“Zurdo” Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua

Оставите коментар

ЛАС ВЕГАС (Мај 25, 2021) – Back in February of 2019, Ворлд Бокинг Организатион (ВБО) Super Middleweight ChampionГилберто "Зурдо" Рамирез had made a decision to move up to fight in the light heavyweight division, and he was searching for a new head trainer.

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

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 про рецорд, 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, кадаТоми Карпенци (29-6-1) није могао да настави након четири круга, followed last December 18тх са 10тх round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (НАБФ) наслов.

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 withОскар де ла Хоја’s Golden Boy Promotions, is currently ranked No. 3 by the WBA and WBO. “Zurdo” returns to action July 9тх in Los Angeles againstсулливан Баррера (22-3, 14 КОс).

Whether it’s Bivol, or the other world light heavyweight champions — Артур Бетербиев иЏо Смит – “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”

Оставите коментар
Live Dec. 18тх on pay-per-view from Galveston, Тексас

GALVESTON, Тексас (Новембар 30, 2020) -- There is a Texas showdown coming December 18тх called the “Battle of Rio Grande,” in which undefeated, former world super middleweight championГилберто "Зурдо" Рамирез (40-0, 26 КОс) challenges North American Boxing Federation (НАБФ) Лигхт ХеавивеигхтAlfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-3, 25 КОс), live on pay per view from Galveston Island Convention Center in Galveston, Тексас.

“Battle of Rio Grande” will be available for live viewing on digital, cable and satellite, са почетком у 8 п.м. И / 5 п.м. ПТ, on pay per view for a suggested retail price of only $24.99. FITE will stream worldwide on the FITE mobile apps, all major OTT apps and website (ввв.ФИТЕ.тв), and Integrated Sports Media will distribute throughout North America via DirecTV, iN Demand, and DISH in the United States, 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, односно, Zurdo Promotions and El Tigre Promotions.

Рамирез, 29, became the first Mexican super middleweight champion of the world in 2016 with a 12-round unanimous decision over World Boxing Organization (ВБО) шампионАртхур Абрахам (44-4).  The multi-gifted southpaw “Zurdo” (means lefthanded in English) from Mazatlán, Мексико, went on to make five successful title defences, including three against unbeaten challengersЏеси Харт (25-0), Habif Ahmed (25-0-1), иRoamer Alexis Angulo (23-0).

Ramirez moved up to light heavyweight for his last fight a year ago, when he stopped 29-6-1Томи Карпенци 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, у прстену, 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, КАО ШТО СУ) 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. 18тх versus Ramirez in the 12-round main event. His most recent fight was 13 неколико месеци раније, when he won a 10-round decision over 19-9-1Denis Grachev 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 (ВБЦ & ИБФ) Dmitry Bivol (ВБА), because he knows and respects Lopez. The media and public, генерално, 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. Више, “El Tigre” holds victories over solid opponents other than Grachev and Theran, као такавDyah Davis иРубин Вилијамс, и у 2011 Lopez extendedКели Павлик 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 КОс), the former World Boxing Council (ВБЦ) Continental Americas champion, in the 10-round co-featured event.
