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

Залишити коментар
Live Dec. 18ї on pay-per-view from Galveston, Техас

GALVESTON, Техас (Листопад 30, 2020) -- There is a Texas showdown coming December 18ї called the “Battle of Rio Grande,” in which undefeated, former world super middleweight championЖілберту "Zurdo" Рамірес (40-0, 26 КО) challenges North American Boxing Federation (NABF) напівважку вагуAlfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-3, 25 КО), live on pay per view from Galveston Island Convention Center in Galveston, Техас.

“Battle of Rio Grande” will be available for live viewing on digital, cable and satellite, починаючи з 8 p.m. І / 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, всі основні програми та веб-сайт OTT (www.FITE.tv), and Integrated Sports Media will distribute throughout North America via DirecTV, попиту, 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, відповідно, Zurdo Promotions and El Tigre Promotions.

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

Ramirez moved up to light heavyweight for his last fight a year ago, when he stopped 29-6-1Томмі Karpency У чотирьох раундах, 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,– сказав Рамірес, “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, в кільці, 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, ТАКИЙ ЯК) 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. 18ї versus Ramirez in the 12-round main event. His most recent fight was 13 місяців тому, 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, в загальному, 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. Більше, “El Tigre” holds victories over solid opponents other than Grachev and Theran, such asDyah Davis іРубін Вільямс, і в 2011 Lopez extendedКеллі Павлік 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!"

The knockout artist takes on Garrett “Остаточний Воїн” Вілсон (17-11-1, 9 КО), Філадельфія, who is a former United States Boxing Association (Налаштувати) and North American Boxing Federation (NABF) чемпіон.
В 2014, Kalenga captured the WBA Interim title with a 12-round split decision over 32-1 Матеуш Мастернак in Monaco, followed with a successful title defense in Canada against 12-0 Дентон Дейлі by way of a 12ї round technical knockout.
Kalenga has never been in a dull fight. Two of his three career losses have been to current WBA Super cruiserweight champion Денис Лебедєв (26-2), who Kalenga dropped in the fourth round, by way of a 12-round unanimous decision in Russia, and last June he was stopped for the first time in his seven-year pro career by 20-0 Юніер Дортікос in Paris for the Interim WBA strap.
The 23-year-old Rabii defeated 2016 Олімпійський чемпіон Daniyar Yeleussinov in the welterweight division championship finale of the 2015 AIBA World Amateur Championships to capture a gold for his native Morocco. Rabii won a bronze medal at the 2016 Олімпійські ігри в Бразилії, dropping a highly-disputed decision (0-3) in the semifinals to Uzebek boxer Shakhram Giyasov, the eventual silver medalist.
The ultra-charismatic Rabii has reached “rock star” status in Morocco, testament by an average of 6-million Moroccans viewing each of Rabbi’s Olympic matches on Arryadia Television. “We are very excited to work with our television partners, Arryadia, on our February 18ї show as the first of five shows in 2017 featuring Mohammed Rabii,” промоутер Гері Хайд сказав. “Rabii has the entire nation of Morocco behind him and he will be challenging for top welterweight honors in no time at all.”

Khatchikian, who will be fighting as a 154-pounder for the first time as a professional, has only lost twice as a pro, both to present super middleweight world champions, James Degale (IBF) і Гілберто Рамірес (WBO).
Hyde manages Rabii, Kalanga and Vetyeka.

DAVID “EL BANDERA ROJA” BENAVIDEZ STRIVING FOR GREATNESS GETS RIGHT BACK IN THE GYM

LONG BEACH, КАЛИФОРНИЯ (Липня 7, 2016) – Just two days after dominating previously undefeated Francy Ntetu (16-1, 3 КО) on Premier Boxing Champions’ Червень 25ї CBS card at New York’s Barclay’s Center, “Червоний прапор,” Девід Бенавідес, was back at his home gym in Long Beach, preparing for his next bout. The rising star had no intention of taking time off, and jumped right into an intense training regimen that included sparring with Gilberto “Лівша” Рамірес (34-0, 24KO), who was set to make his pay-per-view debut later in the month, but was sidelined this week with an injury.
“My last fight was hard, but I learned a lot,” stated Benavidez regarding his bout with previously unbeaten Canadian Ntetu. “It was great experience, getting rounds in.”
With only one exception, a six round fight that went the distance in 2014, Benavidez hadn’t fought beyond the second round, knocking out opponent after opponent.
“I feel better and more experienced,” Benavidez continued. “I have confidence knowing I can go into deep waters and finish a fight if I have to. I’m learning how to pace myself when I need to during a round, and I know that those later rounds made me a better fighter.”
As Benavidez prepares for his next fight, he’s focused completely on improving himself.
“I didn’t mind getting right back to the gym,” said Benavidez. “This is my lifestyle now. I just want to train. I want to look at what I did wrong in my last fight and fix it. I don’t want to get rusty in between fights. When I’m not physically training, I’m thinking about mistakes I made in fights, techniques that can be improved. I want to get better each fight, and I’m consumed by that.”
“It’s this commitment to success and improvement that sets David apart from other young men his age, and other fighters,” сказав Хосе Бенавідес, Sr., David’s father and head trainer. “This is what makes him different, and this is why he’s going to be the best.”
