LAS VEGAS (Januari 31, 2022) – Back in December, right after Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (43-0, 29 KO) stopped Yunieski Gonzalez to become the mandatory challenger for World Boxing Association (WBA) Light Heavyweight World Super Champion Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KO) 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, gezegde, “I know for a fact that my team did offer Team Ramirez to fight me December 11th in Russia, and the purse offered was about the same as what I was offered to fight him on a (Golden Boy Promotions) tonen. 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.”


Ramirez, the first Mexican to capture the World super middleweight title, is een voormalig World Boxing Organization (WBO) Kampioen, 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 pond,” 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 rondes. "


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!

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

zurdo posed.jpg

LAS VEGAS (November 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.

Ramirez (42-0, 28 KO) has been matched against Yunieski “The Monster” Gonzalez (21-3, 17 KO) in december 18 in San Antonio (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 KO) expressed his desire to fight Ramirez before and after the latter knocked out Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KO) this past this past July. Suddenly, hoewel, 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 KO), at either 168 of 175 pond.

“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. Opnieuw, in het boksen, 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. Met deze strijd (vs. Gonzalez) 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. Droevig, 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 KO). Ramirez and Gonzalez, respectievelijk, are rated No. 3 en nr. 4 Door de 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

Laat een reactie achter
CHAMPIONS.jpg
(L-R) – Oscar de la Hoya, Gilberto Ramirez & Bernard Hopkins



LAS VEGAS (Augustus 23, 2021) - Ongeslagen Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (42-0, 28 KO) 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, momenteel beoordeeld Geen. 2 door de World Boxing Organization (WBO) en nr. 5 door de International Boxing Federation (IBF), evenals Geen. 9 in De Ring independent rankings for the first time in the 175-pound division.


After Ramirez’ recent knockout victory over Sullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KO), positioning him for a World title shot, the boxing world looked forward to “Zurdo” challenging World Boxing Association (WBA) Superlicht zwaargewicht kampioen Dmitry Bivol later dit jaar. 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 KO).


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


Ondertussen, 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. Als een vechter, 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; Joe Smith, 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,”Voegde Ramirez eraan toe. “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 (Joshua) 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 Jack, Eleider Alvarez, Maxim Vlasov (Ramirez defeated him as super middleweights), en Lyndon Arthur.

“My time will come, Ramirez concluded. “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. Opnieuw, I trust Golden Boy will do what has been promised and I look forward to what fight they will present me with.”

Perfecte verbinding Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua

Laat een reactie achter

LAS VEGAS (Mei 25, 2021) - In februari van 2019, World Boxing Organization (WBO) Super middengewicht kampioenGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez had een beslissing genomen om op te schuiven om te vechten in de lichte zwaargewicht divisie, en hij was op zoek naar een nieuwe hoofdtrainer.

Ramirez (41-0, 27 KO) onmiddellijk verbonden met een toen 28-jarigeJulian Chua, een voormalige amateur-bokser die boksers had getraindFreddie RoachDe beroemde Wildcard Boxing Club in Hollywood, Californië. "Zurdo" en Chua zijn nu 2-0 (2 KO) en de voorbereiding op een megagevecht later dit jaar, ideaal, tegen de ongeslagen World Boxing Association (WBA) Superlicht zwaargewicht kampioenDmitry Bivol (17-0, 11 KO).

Hoe Ramirez bij Chua terechtkwam als hoofdtrainer is geen typisch boksverhaal. Ten slotte, "Zurdo" was de eerste Mexicaanse wereldkampioen super middengewicht, sportieve een 29-0 pro record, and only 27 toen ze elkaar voor het eerst ontmoetten.

De manager van Ramirez, David Suh, voerde een zoektocht om de chef van Ramirez in dienst te nemen. Hij had een lijst met enkele van de beste trainers in de branche, evenals een jonge, relatief onbekend - in ieder geval buiten Zuid-Californië - in Chua.

"Ik weet niet hoe ik op die lijst ben gekomen,”Zei een bescheiden Chua. "Er zou een soort try-out zijn om te bepalen wie met‘ Zurdo ’zou werken. We trainden samen in Long Beach (waar Ramirez trainde) en toen ontmoette ik David voor koffie. Hij vroeg of ik interesse had om hoofdtrainer te worden. We hebben nog wat meer samen getraind. Hij hield van de manier waarop ik trainde, en we konden het goed met elkaar vinden. Ik stuurde David een sms dat we het leuk vonden om samen te werken en dat ik geïnteresseerd was om zijn hoofdtrainer te worden.

“We klikten meteen, en we leerden dingen over elkaar en hoe we graag trainden. Ik studeer veel en doe veel onderzoek naar hoe hij was opgeleid, omdat ik hem wilde helpen verbeteren. 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, wanneerTommy Karpency (29-6-1) kon niet meer verder na vier ronden, followed last December 18th met een 10th round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) titel.

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, nu bekend als Churchill Boxing in Santa Barbara, Chua heeft verschillende wereldkampioenen boksen en MMA getraind.

De 29-jarige Ramirez, die onlangs een exclusief promotiecontract hebben getekend metOscar De La Hoya’S Golden Boy-promoties, is momenteel gerangschikt nr. 3 door de WBA en WBO. "Zurdo" keert terug naar actie juli 9th in Los Angeles tegenSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KO).

Of het nu Bivol is, of de andere wereldkampioenen licht zwaargewicht — Artur Beterbiev enJoe Smith - "Zurdo" en Chua bereiden zich voor om het beste te verslaan voor Ramirez om de felbegeerde Wereldkampioenschaps-kroon te dragen in een tweede divisie.

Gilberto Ramirez jaagt op ongeslagen Russische wereldkampioenen licht zwaargewicht

Laat een reactie achter

"Zurdo" richt zich op Artur Beterbiev en Dmitry Bivol

LAS VEGAS (Maart 31, 2021) - Voormalig wereldkampioen super middengewichtGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 KO) is op jacht en zijn doelwitten zijn ongeslagen Russen, Artur Beterbiev enDmitry Bivol, respectievelijk, de regerende WBC / IBF en WBA Super light zwaargewicht wereldkampioenen.

De 29-jarige Ramirez, die onlangs een exclusief promotiecontract hebben getekend metOscar De La Hoya’S Golden Boy-promoties, is momenteel gerangschikt nr. 4 en nr. 5, respectievelijk, door de WBA en WBO.

Ramirez was niet onder de indruk van het recente gevecht van Beterbiev en hij vraagt ​​zich af waar Bivol het verleden is geweest 1 ½ jaar, omdat hij niet in de ring is geweest.

In zijn eerste gevecht in 519 dagen (Oktober. 12, 2019), Beterbiev vertoonde tekenen van roest en mogelijk ouderdom (36) tijdens zijn 10th ronde technische knock-out van zijn relatief onbekende Duitse tegenstander, Adam de jouwe (19-2-1, 10 KO).  Nu, Beterbiev heeft het over de volgende strijd tegen de winnaar van de april 10th Joe Smith, Jr. (26-3, 21 KO) tegenMaxim Vlasov (45-3, 26 KO) on April 10th voor de vacante WBO-titel van 175 pond. Vlasov, toevallig, werd verslagen door Ramirez via een unaniem besluit van 10 ronden in 2015.

“Ik verwachtte veel meer van hem (Beterbiev),'Ramirez sprak over Beterbievs gevecht met Deines. “Ik dacht dat hij er het grootste deel van het gevecht plat en saai uitzag. Het is aardig van hem om mijn riem tijdelijk vast te houden, maar hij zou moeten weten dat ik alle hardware kom halen en de titels terug zal brengen naar mijn mensen in Mexico. "

Bivol heeft tijdens een gevecht geen klap gegeven 17 maanden, sinds het winnen van een 12-ronde unanieme beslissing tegenLenin Castillo.  In plaats van terug te keren tegen een "naam" -jager ter verdediging van zijn WBA Super-titel, Bivol komt terug in mei 1st in Londen tegen iemand met de naamCraig "Spider" Richards 16-1-1, 9 KO), het WBA-nr. 8-beoordeeld als licht zwaargewicht die nog nooit buiten het Verenigd Koninkrijk heeft gevochten.

"Ik heb altijd gezegd dat Dmitry Bivol de zwaarste uitdaging was die er is,”Voegde Ramirez eraan toe, “Daarom wil ik deze strijd laten plaatsvinden. Ik weet dat er een gevecht op komst is en hopelijk blijft hij ongeslagen, zodat we deze zomer het megagevecht kunnen aangaan. "

"Zurdo" is op jacht!

Laat een reactie achter

LAS VEGAS (Maart 1, 2021) - Ongeslagen wereldkampioen licht zwaargewicht en voormalig wereldkampioen super middengewicht, Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 KO), heeft onlangs een exclusief promotiecontract getekend met Golden Boy Promotions, voornamelijk vanwege de sterke steun waar hij van zal genietenOscar De Lay Hoya en zijn team.

'Uiteindelijk,”Legde de 29-jarige Ramirez uit, “Golden Boy begreep de doelen en agenda's die ik voor mezelf had gesteld en ik voelde de sterke steun van Oscar en zijn team. Het is een multi-fight deal met potentieel voor iets langer in afwachting van deze eerste ervaring. Uit alle gesprekken die mijn team en ik hebben gehad met Golden Boy, Ik voelde me op mijn gemak bij hen en bij de toekomstige kansen die uit onze relatie zullen voortvloeien.

"Oscar is een geweldige kerel en het was een genoegen om met hem en zijn team om te gaan. Naarmate mijn relatie met Golden Boy blijft groeien, Ik weet zeker dat we (Oscar) zal dichterbij komen. Hij is een kampioen en een van de beste die ooit de handschoenen hebben aangetrokken. Ik kijk ernaar uit om nauw met hem samen te werken. "

Het doel van Ramirez is om de onbetwiste wereld van licht zwaargewicht kampioenen te worden, iets dat hij beter zal kunnen bereiken met Golden Boy in zijn hoek.

"(WBA Superlicht zwaargewicht wereldkampioenDmitry) Bivol (17-0, 11 KO) is iemand die altijd op de radar heeft gestaan ​​en waar ik het volste vertrouwen in heb (Golden Boy koppelaarster) Robert Diaz om de beste gevechten voor mij samen te stellen,”Voegde Ramirez eraan toe. “Eenwording is altijd het doel geweest. Ik weet dat ik de beste ben in de divisie en ik hoop dat dit in de nabije toekomst voor de geschiedenisboeken kan gebeuren. "

Afgelopen december, Ramirez startte zijn eigen promotiebedrijf, Zurdo Promoties, die actief blijven.

“Zurdo Promotions zal doorgaan en actief blijven,'Zei Ramirez. "Vooruit gaan, al mijn gevechten met Golden Boy zullen plaatsvinden in samenwerking met Zurdo Promotions. Ik zal gevechten organiseren in Mexico om een ​​brug te zijn tussen Latijns-Amerika en de Verenigde Staten. Er is enorm veel talent in die regio en ik hoop mijn platform te gebruiken om de achtergestelde vechters in Mexico te helpen en te ondersteunen. "

Ramirez, die voorlopig gepland staat om in mei terug te keren naar de ring, is momenteel gerangschikt nr. 1 door de WBC, evenals Geen. 4 en nr. 5, respectievelijk, door de WBA en WBO.

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

Laat een reactie achter
Photo by Mario Serrano – Prince Ranch Boxing
AGUASCALIENTES, MX (Februari 19, 2018) – Het afgelopen Zaterdag, in het Don Haskins Center in El Paso, TX, Sugar Promotions light-heavyweight prospect, Humberto “Tito” Velazco (19-1-1, 14 KO), scored the knockout of the night, tegen Thomas “Top hond” Williams Jr. (20-4, 14 KO).
Velazco, who hails from Aguascalientes, Mexico, 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, dwingt de scheidsrechter om de wedstrijd te stoppen bij de 1:37 mark.
“It was a great feeling to get a knockout in my first fight in the united states,” said Humberto Velazco, die wordt beheerd door 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, Ik wist dat hij was gewond, 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. Adonis Stevenson, Sergey Kovalev, Dmitry Bivol en 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,” zei 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. Devon Alexander. Look for Velaszco to be back in the ring by summer, most likely in his hometown of Aguascalientes, Mexico.

“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.
The 25-year-old, son of Hasim “De Steen” 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,” aldus 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.”
