Perfect connection Gilberto“Zurdo” Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua

Mag-iwan ng komento

Las Vegas (Mayo 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, sporting a 29-0 pro record, 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, kapagTommy Karpency (29-6-1) ay hindi nagawang upang magpatuloy pagkatapos ng apat na round, followed last December 18ika may 10ika round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) pamagat.

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, is currently ranked No. 3 by the WBA and WBO. “Zurdo” returns to action July 9ika in Los Angeles againstSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 Kos).

Whether it’s Bivol, or the other world light heavyweight champions — Artur Beterbiev atJoe 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

Mag-iwan ng komento

Las Vegas (Mayo 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 9ika in Los Angeles againstSullivan Barrera (22-3, 14 Kos). 

Ramirez, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract withOscar de la Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, was the first Mexican-born super middleweight World champion, and he is currently the No. 3 rated light heavyweight in the world, sa pamamagitan ng World Boxing Association (WBA) at World Boxing Organization (WBO). 

Although he won’t turn 30 until June 19, Ramirez has been fighting professionally for nearly 12 taon, 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 sa 50-0 Klab, 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 sa 1993 in their WBC World welterweight title fight.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

BOXING’S 50-0 CLUB

  1. Julio “J.C. Cesar Chavez 87 (13 Kos)    1980-1993       Mehiko
  2. Willie “Wil ‘o The Wisp” Pep 62 (23 Kos)    1940-1943       Estados Unidos
  3. Wanheng Menayothin 54 (18 Kos)    2009-2019       Thailand
  4. Carlos “Canas” Zarate 52 (51 Kos)    1970-1978       Mehiko
  5. Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Jr. 50 (27 Kos)    1996-2017       Estados Unidos

    _____________________________________________________________________________________

    “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 Pepsa 62, Huwag. 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 sa pamamagitan ngPanya Pradabsri. 

    Another Mexican boxer is in the 50-0 Klab, Huwag. 4 Carlos Zarate, who reached 52 straight victories off his pro debut, 51 sa pamamagitan ng knockout, in the 1970’s. 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 atBrian Nielson (49), Larry Holmes (48), Ricardo Lopez (47), Joe Calzaghe (46-0) atJim Barry (45) all came close to 50-0 memberships. Lopez (51-0-1) fought a draw in his 48ika 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 (Marso 31, 2021) – Former world super middleweight championGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 Kos) is on the hunt and his targets are undefeated Russians, Artur Beterbiev atDmitry Bivol, buong galang, 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, is currently ranked No. 4 at Walang. 5, buong galang, by the WBA and WBO.

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

In his first fight in 519 araw (Oktubre. 12, 2019), Beterbiev showed signs of rust and possibly age (36) during his 10ika round technical knockout of his relatively unknown German opponent, Adam Deines (19-2-1, 10 Kos).  Ngayon, Beterbiev is talking about next fighting the winner of the April 10ika Joe Smith, JR. (26-3, 21 Kos) laban saMaxim Vlasov (45-3, 26 Kos) sa Abril 10ika for the vacant WBO 175-pound division title. Vlasov, hindi sinasadya, 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 na buwan, 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 Kos), 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!

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

Mag-iwan ng komento

Las Vegas (Marso 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.”

This past December, Ramirez launched his own promotional company, Mga Promosyon ng Zurdo, 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, is currently ranked No. 1 sa pamamagitan ng WBC, pati na rin ang No. 4 at Walang. 5, buong galang, by the WBA and WBO.

Target ni Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez si Saul "Canelo" Alvarez para sa hinaharap na mega-showdown

Mag-iwan ng komento

Las Vegas (Enero 21, 2021) - Kung 29-taong-gulangGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (41-0, 27 Kos), masasabing isa na sa tuktok 25 Mga mandirigmang Mexico sa lahat ng oras, ay may kanyang paraan sa pagpasok niya sa kanyang pangunahing taon, sa huli ay magkakaroon siya ng mega-showdown sa kapwa kababayanSaul "Canelo" Alvarez (54-2-32, 36 Kos) bago patungo sa Hall of Fame.

"Anumang bagay ay posible, at magiging mahusay ito para sa mga tagahanga kung ang isang laban para sa akin laban sa 'Canelo' ang mangyari,”Sabi ni Ramirez. "Kasama ang dalawang Mehikano sa singsing, alam mong magiging giyera mula sa ikot ng isa. Makikita natin kung ano ang mangyayari sa hinaharap. "

Una, kahit na, Si Ramirez ay may ilang negosyong dapat asikasuhin simula sa isang potensyal na Interim World Boxing Council (WBC) light heavyweight World title laban laban 2012 U.S. Ng Olimpus"Sir" Marcus Browne (23-1, 16 Kos).

Kamakailan ay inorder ng WBC ang No.. 1 na-rate si Ramirez vs.. Huwag. 4 Browne. Ang Team Zurdo at Team Browne ay mayroong hanggang Pebrero 5ika upang mag-ehersisyo ang isang deal bago ito mapunta sa purse bid. Si Ramirez ay itinaguyod ng kanyang sariling kumpanya, Mga Promosyon ng Zurdo, habang si Browne ay kinakatawan ng PBC.

Kung pupunta ang lahat ayon sa plano ni Ramirez, magkakaroon siya ng isang labanan sa pag-iisa sa mundo kasama ang alinman sa WBC / IBF light heavyweight World championArtur Beterbiev (15-0, 15 Kos) o may hawak ng pamagat ng WBA SuperDmitry Bivol (17-0, 11 Kos, mas mabuti mamaya sa 2021, nakabinbin ang mga paghihigpit sa COVID-19.

"Hindi ako lumipas ng anumang laban,”Nabanggit ni Ramirez. "Sa isport na ito, sa anumang naibigay na gabi, ang pinakamahusay na tao ay manalo. Ang magagawa ko lang ay sanayin nang husto at ihanda ang aking sarili na maging pinakamahusay para sa akin kapag may pagkakataon. Kayumanggi, Buffalo, Beterbiev o Canelo, hindi mahalaga kung sino ang lalaban ako; Palagi akong nagsasanay nang husto upang matiyak na handa ako kapag ang laban ay narito. "

Si Ramirez ay naging kauna-unahang Mehikanong manlalaban na nakakuha ng korona sa buong mundo na super middleweight 2016, nang ang atletikong southernpaw ay lubos na nangingibabaw sa defending champion"Hari" Arthur Abraham (44-4), panalo sa bawat pag-ikot para sa isang 12-bilog na nagkakaisa ng desisyon (120-106 X 3) upang maging kampeon sa WBO sa mundo.

Sa 2019, Sumali si Alvarez sa WBO titlistJulio Cesar Gonzalez (2003) bilang nag-iisang Mexico na ipinanganak na magaan na heavyweight na kampeon ng buong mundo, nang tumigil siya sa 34-3-1Sergey Kovalev sa 11ika bilog upang maging kampeon ng lightweight sa WBO World. Ang 9-time, 4-binitiwan ng division world champion na si Alvarez ang kanyang WBO light heavyweight na korona nang hindi ipinagtanggol ito.

Si Ramirez ay papunta sa 5ika-pinakamahusay na nagwagi ng sunod upang simulan ang isang propesyonal na karera sa kasaysayan ng boxing sa Mexico sa likod ng apat na Hall of Famers: ang idolo niyaJulio Cesar Chavez (87), Carlos Zarate (52), Ricardo Lopez (47) atMarco Antonio Barrera (43). 

Ang pangarap na tugma para sa "Zurdo," syempre, ay nasa daang laban sa Canelo. Kumusta naman ang pagkakaroon nito sa Cinco de Mayo o Mexico Independence Day? 

Sa pagitan noon at ngayon, gayunman, Kailangan ni Ramirez ng isang tagumpay na tumutukoy sa karera laban sa isang kalaban sa una tulad ng Beterbiev o Bivol upang maitaguyod ang isang yugto para sa isang Canelo showdown.

"Makikita natin kung siya (Canelo) nagagawa ulit (lumaban bilang isang magaan na bigat),”Dagdag pa ni Ramirez. "Nakipaglaban na siya sa bigat na minsan (ilaw matimbang) at hindi ko makita kung bakit ito dapat maging isang problema maliban kung ito ay isang fluke. Ngunit naiintindihan ko siya at ang kanyang koponan ay dapat na maging mas maingat sa pag-navigate sa klase ng timbang na ito, kumpara sa mas mababang dibisyon, dahil sa mas mataas na peligro. Din, nakapalibot na kami sa isa't isa at naghiwalay pa. Alam niya na hindi lamang ako isang Kovalev o isang Callum Smith.

"Ito ay (Canelo vs.. Kaliwete") maging isang instant na klasikong at isang mahusay na paraan upang maipakita ang nangungunang Mexican boxing sa buong mundo. Sa palagay ko magugustuhan ng mga tagahanga ang labanan sa pagitan ng Sinaloa (Ramirez) at Jalisco (Alvarez)."

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

Mag-iwan ng komento
Las Vegas (Enero 14, 2021) — The first super middleweight world champion of Mexican decent, undefeated Gilberto “Souspow” 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. Ng Olimpus “Ginoo” 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. Ang Team Zurdo at Team Browne ay mayroong hanggang Pebrero 5ika to work out a deal before it’ll go to purse bid. Martinez is promoted by his own company, Mga Promosyon ng Zurdo, habang si Browne ay kinakatawan ng 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.

“At saka, 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.”

Huling buwan, Ramirez fought for the first time in 20 na buwan, stopping defending champion Alfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-4, 25 Kos) in the 10th round of the “Battle of Rio Grande” pangunahing kaganapan, 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 “Hari” Arthur Abraham(44-4), panalo sa bawat pag-ikot para sa isang 12-bilog na nagkakaisa ng desisyon (120-106 X 3) to become the World Boxing Organization (WBO) mundo kampeon.

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). “Souspow” 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. Pambansang Pal Championships at 2012 U.S. Pambansang Championships, 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) at 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), at 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, hopefully, this fight can happen for both of us.”

Mag-iwan ng komento
Live Dec. 18ika on pay-per-view from Galveston, Teksas

GALVESTON, Teksas (Nobyembre 30, 2020) -- There is a Texas showdown coming December 18ika called the “Battle of Rio Grande,” in which undefeated, former world super middleweight championGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (40-0, 26 Kos) challenges North American Boxing Federation (NABF) ilaw matimbangAlfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-3, 25 Kos), live on pay per view from Galveston Island Convention Center in Galveston, Teksas.

“Battle of Rio Grande” will be available for live viewing on digital, cable and satellite, na nagsisimula sa 8 p.m. AT / 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, buong galang, 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) tagapagtanggolArthur Abraham (44-4).  The multi-gifted southpaw “Zurdo” (means lefthanded in English) from Mazatlán, Mehiko, went on to make five successful title defences, including three against unbeaten challengersJesse Hart (25-0), Habif Ahmed (25-0-1), atRoamer 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, sa singsing, 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, ANG GANOONG AS) 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. 18ika versus Ramirez in the 12-round main event. His most recent fight was 13 mga buwan na nakalipas, 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, sa pangkalahatan, 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. Pa, “El Tigre” holds victories over solid opponents other than Grachev and Theran, such asDyah Davis atRubin Williams, at sa 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 will face veteranChauncy “Hillyard Hammer” Welliver (57-13-5, 23 Kos), the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Continental Americas champion, in the 10-round co-featured event.
