Perfect connection Gilberto“Zurdo” Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua

Lasă un comentariu

LAS VEGAS (Mai 25, 2021) – Back in February of 2019, Organizația Mondială a box (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 KO) 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 KO) and preparing for a mega-fought later this year, ideally, against undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight ChampionDmitry Bivol (17-0, 11 KO).

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 pro înregistrare, 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, cândTommy Karpency (29-6-1) nu a putut să continue și după patru runde, followed last December 18lea cu un 10lea round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) titlu.

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 withOscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, este în prezent clasat pe nr. 3 by the WBA and WBO. “Zurdo” returns to action July 9lea in Los Angeles againstSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KO).

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

“Zurdo” fighting for his legacy, 41-0 Gilberto Ramirez on mission to join elusive 50-0 club

Lasă un comentariu

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 9lea in Los Angeles againstSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 KO).

Although he won’t turn 30 until June 19, Ramirez has been fighting professionally for nearly 12 an, 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 în 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 în 1993 in their WBC World welterweight title fight.

BOXING’S 50-0 CLUB

  1. Julio “J.C. Cesar Chavez 87 (13 KO)    1980-1993       Mexic
  2. Willie “Wil ‘o The Wisp” Pep 62 (23 KO)    1940-1943       STATELE UNITE ALE AMERICII

  5. Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Jr. 50 (27 KO)    1996-2017       STATELE UNITE ALE AMERICII

    _____________________________________________________________________________________

    “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 Pepla 62, Nu Face. 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 dePanya Pradabsri.

Zarate was stopped in his 53rd 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, Pep, Zarate, and Mayweather – are inducted in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

    Rocky Marciano șiBrian Nielson (49), Larry Holmes (48), Ricardo Lopez (47), Joe Calzaghe (46-0) șiJim Barry (45) all came close to 50-0 memberships. Lopez (51-0-1) fought a draw in his 48lea 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.

Gilberto Ramirez hunting undefeated Russian light heavyweight world champions

“Zurdo” targets Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol

LAS VEGAS (Martie 31, 2021) – Former world super middleweight championGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 KO) is on the hunt and his targets are undefeated Russians, Artur Beterbiev șiDmitry Bivol, respectiv, the reigning WBC/IBF and WBA Super light heavyweight World champions.

The 29-year-old Ramirez, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract withOscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, este în prezent clasat pe nr. 4 și nr. 5, respectiv, by the WBA and WBO.

Ramirez was unimpressed by Beterbiev’s recent fight and he wonders where Bivol has been the past 1 ½ ani, because he hasn’t been in the ring.

In his first fight in 519 zi (Octombrie. 12, 2019), Beterbiev showed signs of rust and possibly age (36) în timpul lui 10lea round technical knockout of his relatively unknown German opponent, Adam Deines (19-2-1, 10 KO).  Acum, Beterbiev is talking about next fighting the winner of the April 10lea Joe Smith, Jr. (26-3, 21 KO) contraMaxim Vlasov (45-3, 26 KO) aprilie 10lea for the vacant WBO 175-pound division title. Vlasov, întâmplător, was defeated by Ramirez via a 10-round unanimous decision in 2015.

“I expected a lot more from him (Beterbiev),” Ramirez talked about Beterbiev’s fight with Deines. “I thought he looked flat and dull for the majority of the fight. It’s nice of him to temporarily hold my belts, but he should know that I’m coming for all the hardware and will bring the titles back to my people in Mexico.”

Bivol hasn’t thrown a punch during a fight in 17 luni, since winning a 12-round unanimous decision againstLenin Castillo.  Instead of returning against a “name” fighter in defense of his WBA Super title, Bivol will be returning May 1st in London against somebody namedCraig “Spider” Richards 16-1-1, 9 KO), the WBA No. 8-rated light heavyweight who has never fought outside the United Kingdom.

“I’ve always said Dmitry Bivol was the toughest challenge out there,” Ramirez added, “which is why I want to make this fight happen. I know he’s got a fight coming up and hopefully he stays undefeated so we can make the mega-fight this summer.”

“Zurdo” is on the hunt!

Lasă un comentariu

LAS VEGAS (Martie 1, 2021) - Concurent mondial neînvins la categoria grea ușoară și fost campion mondial super-mijlociu, Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 KO), a semnat recent un contract promoțional exclusiv cu Golden Boy Promotions, în primul rând din cauza sprijinului puternic de la care va primiOscar De Lay Hoya și echipa sa.

„În cele din urmă,”A explicat Ramirez, în vârstă de 29 de ani, „Golden Boy a înțeles obiectivele și agenda pe care mi le-am propus și am simțit sprijinul puternic al lui Oscar și al echipei sale. Este o înțelegere cu mai multe lupte, cu potențial pentru ceva mai lung, până la această primă experiență. Din toate conversațiile pe care eu și echipa mea le-am purtat cu Golden Boy, M-am simțit confortabil cu ei și cu oportunitățile viitoare care vor apărea din relația noastră.

„Oscar este un tip grozav și nu a fost decât o plăcere să mă ocup de el și echipa sa. Pe măsură ce relația mea cu Golden Boy continuă să crească, Sunt sigur că noi (Oscar) va deveni mai aproape. Este un campion și unul dintre cei mai mari care a dantelat mănușile vreodată. Aștept cu nerăbdare să lucrez cu el îndeaproape. ”

Obiectivul lui Ramirez este de a deveni campionul mondial incontestabil de greutate ușoară, ceva ce va avea o șansă mai bună de a realiza cu Golden Boy în colțul său.

"(Campion mondial WBA Super Light HeavyweightDmitry) BivoL (17-0, 11 KO) este cineva care a fost mereu pe radar și în care am încredere deplină (Matchmaker Golden Boy) Robert Diaz să pun laolaltă cele mai bune lupte pentru mine,”A adăugat Ramirez. „Unificarea a fost întotdeauna scopul. Știu că sunt cel mai bun din divizie și sper să fac acest lucru pentru cărțile de istorie în viitorul apropiat. ”

Decembrie trecut, Ramirez și-a lansat propria companie de promovare, Promotii Zurdo, care va rămâne activ.

„Promoțiile Zurdo vor continua și vor rămâne active,A spus Ramirez. "Mergand inainte, toate luptele mele cu Golden Boy vor fi în asociere cu Zurdo Promotions. Voi găzdui lupte în Mexic pentru a fi o punte de legătură între America Latină și Statele Unite. Există un talent extraordinar în acea regiune și sper să folosesc platforma mea pentru a ajuta și a sprijini luptătorii defavorizați din Mexic. "

Ramirez, care este prevăzut să se întoarcă în ring în luna mai, este în prezent clasat pe nr. 1 de WBC, precum și nr. 4 și nr. 5, respectiv, de către WBA și WBO.

Gilberto „Zurdo” Ramirez îl țintește pe Saul „Canelo” Alvarez pentru viitorul mega-showdown

Lasă un comentariu

LAS VEGAS (Ianuarie 21, 2021) - Dacă are 29 de aniGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 KO), fără îndoială deja unul dintre top 25 Luptători mexicani din toate timpurile, își face drumul pe măsură ce intră în primii ani, în cele din urmă va avea un mega-showdown cu compatriotulSaul „Canelo” Alvarez (54-2-32, 36 KO) înainte de a se îndrepta spre Sala Famei.

"Orice este posibil, și va fi minunat pentru fani dacă se va lupta împotriva mea cu „Canelo”,A spus Ramirez. „Cu doi mexicani în ring, știi că va fi un război din prima rundă. Vom vedea ce se va întâmpla în viitor. ”

În primul rând, deși, Ramirez are o afacere de care să se ocupe, începând cu un potențial consiliu interimar de box mondial (WBC) lupta împotriva titlului mondial cu greutate ușoară 2012 S.U.A.. Olimpic„Domnul” Marcus Browne (23-1, 16 KO).

WBC a ordonat recent nr. 1 evaluat Ramirez vs.. Nu Face. 4 Browne. Echipa Zurdo și echipa Browne au până în februarie 5lea pentru a stabili o afacere înainte de a merge la licitație. Ramirez este promovat de propria companie, Promotii Zurdo, în timp ce Browne este reprezentat de PBC.

Dacă totul merge așa cum intenționează Ramirez, va avea o luptă de unificare mondială fie cu campionul mondial WBC / IBF cu greutate ușoarăArtur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KO) sau titularul titlului WBA SuperDmitry Bivol (17-0, 11 KO, preferabil mai târziu în 2021, restricții COVID-19 în așteptare.

„Nu mă uit niciodată la orice luptă,”A remarcat Ramirez. „În acest sport, în orice noapte dată, cel mai bun om va câștiga. Tot ce pot face este să mă antrenez din greu și să mă pregătesc pentru a fi tot ce pot pentru mine atunci când apare ocazia. Maro, Bivol, Beterbiev sau Canelo, nu contează cu cine lupt; Mă antrenez întotdeauna din greu pentru a mă asigura că sunt gata când lupta este aici ".

Ramirez a devenit primul luptător mexican care a capturat o coroană mondială super-medie 2016, când southpaw-ul atletic a dominat temeinic campionul în apărare„Regele” Arthur Abraham (44-4), câștigând fiecare rundă pentru o decizie unanimă de 12 runde (120-106 X 3) pentru a deveni campion mondial WBO.

În 2019, Alvarez s-a alăturat titlului WBOJulio Cesar Gonzalez (2003) ca singurii campioni ai lumii la categoria grea ușoară născută în Mexic, când a oprit 34-3-1Sergey Kovalev în 11lea runda pentru a deveni campion mondial WBO la categoria grea ușoară. De 9 ori, 4-campionul mondial al diviziei, Alvarez, a renunțat la coroana WBO pentru greutate ușoară, fără a o apăra.

Ramirez este plecat la 5lea-cea mai bună serie de victorii pentru a începe o carieră profesională în istoria boxului mexican în spatele a patru săli de renume: idolul săuJulio Cesar Chavez (87), Carlos Zarate (52), Ricardo Lopez (47) șiMarco Antonio Barrera (43). 

Meciul de vis pentru „Zurdo," desigur, este pe drum împotriva Canelo. Ce zici să-l ai în Cinco de Mayo sau în Ziua Independenței Mexicane? 

Între atunci și acum, totuși, Ramirez are nevoie de o victorie care să definească cariera împotriva unui adversar primetime, cum ar fi Beterbiev sau Bivol, pentru a pregăti scena pentru o confruntare Canelo.

„Vom vedea dacă este (Canelo) capabil să o facă din nou (lupta ca o greutate ușoară),”A adăugat Ramirez. „A luptat deja la această greutate o dată (grea lumină) și nu văd de ce ar trebui să fie o problemă decât dacă a fost o întâmplare. Dar înțeleg că el și echipa sa vor trebui să fie mult mai precauți în această categorie de greutate, comparativ cu diviziunile inferioare, din cauza riscului mai mare. De asemenea, am mai fost unul lângă altul și chiar ne-am luptat. Știe că nu sunt doar un Kovalev sau un Callum Smith.

„O să fie (Canelo vs. Stangaci") fii un clasic instantaneu și o modalitate excelentă de a prezenta în lume boxul mexican de top. Cred că fanilor le va plăcea această bătălie dintre Sinaloa (Ramirez) și Jalisco (Alvarez)."

41-0 Gilberto “Stangaci” Ramirez all in for WBC Interim World light heavyweight clash with “Domn” Marcus Browne

Lasă un comentariu
LAS VEGAS (Ianuarie 14, 2021) — The first super middleweight world champion of Mexican decent, neînvinsă Gilberto “Stangaci” Ramirez (41-0, 27 KO) is all in for a potential World Boxing Council (WBC) Interim light heavyweight World title fight against 2012 S.U.A.. Olimpic “Domn” Marcus Browne (23-1, 16 KO).

The WBC ordered Ramirez vs. Browne this past Monday because reigning WBC light heavyweight World champion Artur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KO) 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. Echipa Zurdo și echipa Browne au până în februarie 5lea to work out a deal before it’ll go to purse bid. Martinez is promoted by his own company, Promotii Zurdo, în timp ce Browne este reprezentat de 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.

“În plus, 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.”

Luna trecuta, Ramirez fought for the first time in 20 luni, stopping defending champion Alfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-4, 25 KO) in the 10th round of the “Battle of Rio Grande” main event, 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 “Rege” Arthur Abraham(44-4), câștigând fiecare rundă pentru o decizie unanimă de 12 runde (120-106 X 3) to become the World Boxing Organization (WBO) campion mondial.

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). “Stangaci” 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 S.U.A.. Campionate naționale PAL și 2012 S.U.A.. Campionatele Naționale, 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) și 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), și 18-1-1 Lenin 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, in speranta, this fight can happen for both of us.”

Lasă un comentariu
Live Dec. 18lea on pay-per-view from Galveston, Texas

GALVESTON, Texas (Noiembrie 30, 2020) -- There is a Texas showdown coming December 18lea called the “Battle of Rio Grande,” in which undefeated, former world super middleweight championGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (40-0, 26 KO) challenges North American Boxing Federation (NABF) grea luminăAlfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-3, 25 KO), 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, cable and satellite, începând de la 8 p.m. ȘI / 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, all major OTT apps and website (www.FITE.tv), 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, respectiv, 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) campionArthur Abraham (44-4).  The multi-gifted southpaw “Zurdo” (means lefthanded in English) from Mazatlán, Mexic, went on to make five successful title defences, including three against unbeaten challengersJesse Hart (25-0), Habif Ahmed (25-0-1), șiRoamer Alexis Angulo (23-0).

Ramirez moved up to light heavyweight for his last fight a year ago, when he stopped 29-6-1Tommy 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, în inelul, 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, CA) 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. 18lea versus Ramirez in the 12-round main event. His most recent fight was 13 Luni in urma, 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, în general, 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. Mai Mult, “El Tigre” holds victories over solid opponents other than Grachev and Theran, precumDyah Davis șiRubin Williams, și în 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!"

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