Perfect connection Gilberto“Zurdo” Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua

Laisser un commentaire

LAS VEGAS (Mai 25, 2021) – Back in February of 2019, World Boxing Organization (WBO) 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.

Ramirez (41-0, 27 KOs) immediately connected with a then 28-year-oldJulian 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 (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight ChampionDmitry 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, un sportif 29-0 enregistrement pro, et seulement 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, quandTommy Karpency (29-6-1) était incapable de continuer après quatre tours, followed last December 18e avec un 10e round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) titre.

Chua was trained by Roach when he was an amateur from Indiana, but when Chua started at Wildcard, Roach’s assistantEric Brun 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.

Ramirez, 29 ans, qui a récemment signé un contrat promotionnel exclusif avecOscar De La HoyaPromotions Golden Boy de, est actuellement classé Non. 3 by the WBA and WBO. “Zurdo” returns to action July 9e in Los Angeles againstSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs).

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

LAS VEGAS (Mai 19, 2021) – Only five boxers have started their professional careers with a 50-fight win streak and the contemporary leader, 41-0 Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez is on a mission to join the exclusive club, continuing July 9e in Los Angeles againstSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs).

Although he won’t turn 30 until June 19, Ramirez has been fighting professionally for nearly 12 ans, and one of his goals is to become a World champion in two different weight classes. Another is joining his idol and fellow Mexican, Julio Cesar Chavez dans le 50-0 Club, in which he is No. 1 having amazingly won his first 87 pro fights. The first blemish on his pro record was a 12-round majority draw with the greatPernell Whitaker en 1993 in their WBC World welterweight title fight.

BOXING’S 50-0 CLUB

  1. Julio “J.C. Cesar Chavez 87 (13 KOs)    1980-1993       Mexique

  5. Floyd «Money» Mayweather, Jr. 50 (27 KOs)    1996-2017       USA

    _____________________________________________________________________________________

    “Getting to 50-0 is very important, but I’m more interested in being able to fight the fights the fans want,” Ramirez said. “I’ve never turned down a fight and have made it clear to all the fighters I want. I look across the division and none of these fighters are on my level”

    Chavez moved ahead of featherweight iconWill Pepà 62, Ne Pas. 2 on the contemporary list, compiled in less than three years dating back to the 1940’s. Pep lost for the first time as a pro toSammy Angott by 10-round decision in 1943.

    Thailand mini-flyweightWanheng Menayothin, originally a Muay Thai fighter, had his streak snapped last November at 54 parPanya Pradabsri. 

    Another Mexican boxer is in the 50-0 Club, Ne Pas. 4 Carlos Zarate, who reached 52 straight victories off his pro debut, 51 par KO, in the 1970’s. Zarate was stopped in his 53e fight by Puerto Rican starWilfredo Gomez in the fifth round of their 1978 WBC super bantamweight World championship match.

    The only member of the exclusive 50-0 Club to retire undefeated is Floyd “Money” Mayweather, Jr. in fifth place with 50.

    The four inactive boxers in the club – Chavez, Dynamisme, Zarate, and Mayweather – are inducted in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

    Rocky Marciano etBrian Nielson (49), Larry Holmes (48), Ricardo Lopez (47), Joe Calzaghe (46-0) etJim Barry (45) all came close to 50-0 memberships. Lopez (51-0-1) fought a draw in his 48e pro fight withRosendo Alvarez. 

    Ramirez is closing in on boxing history as he fights for his legacy. Five years after he retires, “Zurdo” should rightfully join the four Hall of Famers who are presently ahead of him on the 50-Club list.

«Zurdo» cible Artur Beterbiev et Dmitry Bivol

LAS VEGAS (Mars 31, 2021) - Ancien champion du monde des super-moyensGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 KOs) est en chasse et ses cibles sont des Russes invaincus, Artur Beterbiev etDmitry Bivol, respectivement, les champions du monde WBC / IBF et WBA des poids lourds super légers en titre.

Ramirez, 29 ans, qui a récemment signé un contrat promotionnel exclusif avecOscar De La HoyaPromotions Golden Boy de, est actuellement classé Non. 4 et n. 5, respectivement, par le WBA et le WBO.

Ramirez n'a pas été impressionné par le récent combat de Beterbiev et il se demande où Bivol a été le passé 1 Ans et demi, parce qu’il n’a pas été sur le ring.

Dans son premier combat en 519 journées (Octobre. 12, 2019), Beterbiev a montré des signes de rouille et peut-être de l'âge (36) pendant son 10e KO technique rond de son adversaire allemand relativement inconnu, Adam à toi (19-2-1, 10 KOs).  Maintenant, Beterbiev parle du prochain combat contre le vainqueur du mois d'avril 10e Joe Smith, Jr. (26-3, 21 KOs) contreMaxim Vlasov (45-3, 26 KOs) sur Avril 10e pour le titre vacant de la division WBO de 175 livres. Vlasov, incidemment, a été battu par Ramirez via une décision unanime de 10 rounds en 2015.

«J'attendais beaucoup plus de lui (Beterbiev),»Ramirez a parlé du combat de Beterbiev avec Deines. «Je pensais qu'il avait l'air plat et terne pendant la majeure partie du combat. C'est gentil de sa part de tenir temporairement mes ceintures, mais il devrait savoir que je viens pour tout le matériel et que je rapporterai les titres à mon peuple au Mexique. "

Bivol n’a pas lancé de coup de poing lors d’une bagarre en 17 mois, depuis qu'il a remporté une décision unanime en 12 tours contreLénine Castillo.  Au lieu de revenir contre un combattant «nommé» pour défendre son titre WBA Super, Bivol sera de retour en mai 1st à Londres contre quelqu'un nomméCraig «Spider» Richards 16-1-1, 9 KOs), le WBA Non. 8-classé poids lourd léger qui n'a jamais combattu en dehors du Royaume-Uni.

«J’ai toujours dit que Dmitry Bivol était le défi le plus difficile qui soit,”A ajouté Ramirez, «C'est pourquoi je veux que ce combat se produise. Je sais qu'il a un combat à venir et j'espère qu'il restera invaincu afin que nous puissions faire le méga-combat cet été. "

«Zurdo» est en chasse!

Oscar De La Hoya’s strong support primary reason Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez signed with Golden Boy

Laisser un commentaire

LAS VEGAS (Mars 1, 2021) – Undefeated world light heavyweight contender and former world super middleweight champion, Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 KOs), recently signed an exclusive promotional contract with Golden Boy Promotions, primarily because of the strong support he will receive fromOscar De Lay Hoya and his team.

“Ultimately,” the 29-year-old Ramirez explained, “Golden Boy understood the goals and agendas I set for myself and I felt the strong support from Oscar and his team. It’s a multi-fight deal with potential for something longer pending this first experience. From all the conversations my team and I have had with Golden Boy, I felt comfortable with them and the future opportunities that will arise from our relationship.

“Oscar is a great guy and it’s been nothing but a pleasure dealing with him and his team. As my relationship with Golden Boy continues to grow, I’m sure we (Oscar) will become closer. He’s a champion and one of the greatest to ever lace up the gloves. I look forward to working to him closely.”

Ramirez’ goal is to become the undisputed light heavyweight champion world, something he will have a better shot of accomplishing with Golden Boy in his corner.

"(WBA Super light heavyweight World championDmitry) Bivol (17-0, 11 KOs) is someone who has always been on the radar and I have full faith in (Golden Boy matchmaker) Robert Diaz to put together the best fights for me,” Ramirez added. “Unification has always been the goal. I know I’m the best in the division and hope to make this happens for the history books in the near future.”

Cette dernière Décembre, Ramirez launched his own promotional company, Zurdo Promotions, which will remain active.

“Zurdo Promotions will continue and stay active,” Ramirez said. “Going forward, all my fights with Golden Boy will be in association with Zurdo Promotions. I will host fights in Mexico to be a bridge between Latin America and the United States. There’s tremendous talent in that region and I hope to use my platform to help and support the underserved fighters in Mexico.”

Ramirez, who is tentatively slated to return to the ring in May, est actuellement classé Non. 1 par le WBC, ainsi que n. 4 et n. 5, respectivement, by the WBA and WBO.

Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez cible Saul "Canelo" Alvarez pour une future méga-épreuve de force

Laisser un commentaire

LAS VEGAS (Janvier 21, 2021) – If 29-year-oldGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 KOs), arguably already one of the top 25 Mexican fighters of all-time, has his way as he enters his prime years, he will eventually have a mega-showdown with fellow countrymanSaul "Canelo" Alvarez (54-2-32, 36 KOs) before making their way to the Hall of Fame.

"Tout est possible, and it’ll be great for fans if a fight for me against ‘Canelo’ happens,” Ramirez said. “With two Mexicans in the ring, you know it’ll be a war from round one. We’ll see what happens in the future.”

Première, bien que, Ramirez has some business to take care of starting with a potential Interim World Boxing Council (WBC) light heavyweight World title fight against 2012 U.S.. Olympien“Sir” Marcus Browne (23-1, 16 KOs).

The WBC recently ordered No. 1 rated Ramirez vs. Ne Pas. 4 Browne. Team Zurdo and Team Browne have until February 5e to work out a deal before it goes to purse bid. Ramirez is promoted by his own company, Zurdo Promotions, while Browne is represented by PBC.

If everything goes as Ramirez plans, he’ll have a world unification fight with either WBC/IBF light heavyweight World championArtur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KOs) or WBA Super title-holderDmitry Bivol (17-0, 11 KOs, preferably later in 2021, pending COVID-19 restrictions.

“I never look past any fight,” Ramirez noted. “In this sport, on any given night, the best man will win. All I can do is train hard and prepare myself to be my best for when the occasion arises. Brun, Buffle, Beterbiev or Canelo, it doesn’t matter who I fight; I always train hard to make sure I’m ready when the fight is here.”

Ramirez became the first Mexican fighter to capture a world super middleweight crown in 2016, when the athletic southpaw thoroughly dominated defending champion“King” Arthur Abraham (44-4), winning each round for a 12-round unanimous decision (120-106 X 3) to become the WBO world champion.

En 2019, Alvarez joined WBO titlistJulio Cesar Gonzalez (2003) as the only Mexican-born light heavyweight champions of the world, when he stopped 34-3-1Sergey Kovalev dans le 11e round to become the WBO World light heavyweight champion. The 9-time, 4-division world champion Alvarez relinquished his WBO light heavyweight crown without defending it.

Ramirez is off to the 5e-best winning streak to start a professional career in Mexican boxing history behind four Hall of Famers: his idolJulio Cesar Chavez (87), Carlos Zarate (52), Ricardo Lopez (47) etMarco Antonio Barrera (43). 

The dream match for “Zurdo,” of course, is down the road against Canelo. How about having it on Cinco de Mayo or Mexican Independence Day? 

Between then and now, cependant, Ramirez needs a career-defining victory against a primetime opponent such as Beterbiev or Bivol to set the stage for a Canelo showdown.

“We’ll see if he’s (Canelo) able to do it again (fight as a light heavyweight),” Ramirez added. “He’s already fought at that weight once (mi-lourds) and I don’t see why it should be a problem unless it was a fluke. But I do understand he and his team will have to be a lot more cautious navigating this weight class, compared to the lower divisions, due to the higher risk. Also, we’ve been around each other before and even sparred. He knows I’m not just a Kovalev or a Callum Smith.

“It’ll (Canelo vs. Zurdo”) be an instant classic and a great way to showcase top-tier Mexican boxing to the world. I think fans will love this battle between Sinaloa (Ramirez) and Jalisco (Alvarez)."

41-0 Gilberto “Southpaw” Ramirez all in pour le choc des poids lourds légers WBC Interim World avec “Monsieur” Marcus Browne

Laisser un commentaire
LAS VEGAS (Janvier 14, 2021) — The first super middleweight world champion of Mexican decent, invaincu Gilberto “Southpaw” Ramirez (41-0, 27 KOs) is all in for a potential World Boxing Council (WBC) Interim light heavyweight World title fight against 2012 U.S.. Olympien “Monsieur” Marcus Browne (23-1, 16 KOs).

The WBC ordered Ramirez vs. Browne this past Monday because reigning WBC light heavyweight World champion Artur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KOs) hasn’t defended his title since capturing it October 18, 2019, due to getting COVID-19 during training camp, as well as for other pandemic related restrictions. Beterbiev is also the reigning International Boxing Federation (IBF) light heavyweight World champion.

Ramirez is the No. 1 light heavyweight contender in the WBC ratings, while Browne is ranked No. 4. Team Zurdo and Team Browne have until February 5e to work out a deal before it’ll go to purse bid. Martinez is promoted by his own company, Zurdo Promotions, while Browne is represented by PBC.

“This is an interesting opportunity and I’m ready to fight anyone in the light heavyweight division to leave my mark on the sport,” Ramirez said. “I know Marcus has been out of the ring for a while, but he’s a U.S. Olympian and still one of the best in the game. I know he’s wanted this fight for a while and hopefully we can make something happen.

“En outre, it’s always been my dream to get the green belt (WBC) and bring it back to Mexico. I have a lot of respect for the WBC and Mauricio Suliman and I am grateful for all their love and support throughout my career.”

Le mois dernier, Ramirez fought for the first time in 20 mois, stopping defending champion Alfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-4, 25 KOs) in the 10th round of the “Bataille de Rio Grande” événement principal, which marked the debut of Zurdo Promotions.

The 29-year-old Ramirez became the first Mexican fighter to capture a world super middleweight crown in 2016, when the ultra-gifted, athletic southpaw pitched a complete shutout against defending title holder “Roi” Arthur Abraham(44-4), winning each round for a 12-round unanimous decision (120-106 X 3) to become the World Boxing Organization (WBO) champion du monde.

Ramirez successful defended his WBO title five times against 33-4-1 Maksym Bursak (DEC12), 22-0 Jessie Hart (DEC12), 25-0-1 Habib Ahmed (25-0-1), 23-0 Roemer Alexis Angulo (DEC12), and Hart again in a rematch (DEC12). “Southpaw” moved up to the light heavyweight division in 2019, destroying 29-6-1 Tommy Karpency, who was unable to continue fighting after four rounds.

A talented southpaw as well, Browne was a decorated U.S. amateur out of New York City, who won gold medals at the 2010 U.S.. Championnats nationaux PAL et 2012 U.S.. Championnats nationaux, prior to representing the U.S. at the Olympic Games in London.

Browne, 30, is a past WBA Interim light heavyweight World champion. He has beaten a pair of word champions, 22-1-3 Badou Jack (DEC12) et 25-7-1 Gabriel Campillo (25-7-2). Other notable opponents he has defeated include 21-0 Radivoje Kalajdzic (DEC8), 20-2 Thomas Williams (KO6), 28-0 Sean Monaghan (TKO2), et 18-1-1 Lénine Castillo (DEC10). Browne’s last fight was August 3, 2019, when he suffered his first loss as a professional to former world champion Jean Pascal(33-6-1) via an eight-round technical decision, after Browne suffered a severe cut over his left eye from an accidental head-butt.

“There are always challenges to making a fight become reality,” Ramirez concluded, “but me being both the fighter and sole promoter, I’m flexible on the common problems that takes to make a fight. I’m not sure how much time Marcus will need to be ready, but both time and location can be determined when the other preliminary items are agreed upon. If it goes to a purse bid, I’m ready for the process and, avec optimisme, this fight can happen for both of us.”

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

Laisser un commentaire
Live Dec. 18e on pay-per-view from Galveston, Texas

GALVESTON, Texas (Novembre 30, 2020) -- There is a Texas showdown coming December 18e called the “Battle of Rio Grande,” in which undefeated, ancien champion du monde des super-moyensGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (40-0, 26 KOs) challenges North American Boxing Federation (NABF) mi-lourdsAlfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-3, 25 KOs), live on pay per view from Galveston Island Convention Center in Galveston, Texas.

“Battle of Rio Grande” will be available for live viewing on digital, câble et satellite, à partir de 8 p.m. ET / 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, toutes les principales applications et sites Web OTT (www.FITE.tv), et Integrated Sports Media distribuera dans toute l'Amérique du Nord via DirecTV, demandé, et DISH aux États-Unis, 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, respectivement, Zurdo Promotions and El Tigre Promotions.

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

Ramirez moved up to light heavyweight for his last fight a year ago, when he stopped 29-6-1Tommy Karpency en quatre tours, 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," a déclaré Ramírez, “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, dans le ring, 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, COMME) 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. 18e versus Ramirez in the 12-round main event. His most recent fight was 13 il y a des mois, 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 (WBC & IBF) Dmitry Bivol (WBA), because he knows and respects Lopez. The media and public, en général, 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. Plus, “El Tigre” holds victories over solid opponents other than Grachev and Theran, tel queDyah Davis etRubin Williams, et en 2011 Lopez extendedKelly 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!"
