LÅT BLI. 1 rated WBA Super Flyweight John “Scrappy” Ramirez believes in the process

Lämna en kommentar

LOS ANGELES (Juli 2, 2025) -- It’s “Scrappy Time” again!

For the first time in 2025, charismatic super flyweight contenderJohn “Scrappy” Ramirez (15-1, 9 Kos) returned to the ring on last Saturday’s DAZN Pay-Per-View event, presented by MVP Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions, and headlined by YouTuber turned boxerJake “The Problem Child” Paul(12-1, 7 Kos) motJulio César Chávez, Jr. (54-7-1, 34 Kos) at Honda Center in Anaheim, Kalifornien.

I en 8-runda bout, “Scrappy” dominated Houston’sJosue Jesus Morales (33-19-5, 14 Kos), who was a very late replacement forSaleto Henderson (10-2, 7 Kos), enroute to an 8-round unanimous decision (80-72, 80-72, 89-73).

Henderson pulled out of the fight last Wednesday night, Morales accepted the fight Thursday evening after the event’s final press conference.

“I trusted the process,” Ramirez explained. “It was emotional when my original opponent pulled out of the fight so late and I didn’t know if I’d be fighting. I’m happy I got the fight, even if I had to open the show, because I’ve learned to embrace the opportunity. I trained to fight a 5’ 2”, righty and fought a southpaw. I was comfortable, regardless, because I prepare at camp for anything that may happen. I wanted the fight and gave him (Moralen) two passes on weight. He was coming in heavy; så, we agreed to fight at a 120-pound catchweight. Before he stepped on the scale, he said he weighed 121.6. I didn’t want him to be fined for coming in overweight because he was doing me a favor by taking the fight. I respect him for taking the fight on late notice and we changed the contract to 121.6. Nothing changed for me other than the opponent and opening the preliminaries. Time is money, and I wanted everything I had done to count like camp (expenses), resources I used, mileage on my body. Everything happens for a reason. There are six months left in 2025, and my goal is to have two more fights.”

The 29-year-old Ramirez is world rated at No. 1 i WBA, liksom Nej. 12 och nr. 15, respektive, av World Boxing Council (WBC) and WBO.Fernando Daniel Martinez (16-0, 9 Kos), av Argentina, is the reigning WBA Super Flyweight World Champion, David Jimenez (17-1, 11 Kos) remains the WBA Interim Champion.

“I’m back where I left off (LÅT BLI. 1 ranking),sa Ramirez. “After my last fight I was No. 2, ‘Chocolatito’ (Roman Gonzalez) was on top. And before this coming fight, I wanted to go up to No. 1 och sedan, a little while ago, I saw that I was back at No. 1. It’s a good feeling to have put myself back where I was. At this point, I have power and leverage. They may want me to fight a rematch with Jimenez, who is still the (WBA) Interim champion but we’ll see how everything plays out. If I get the opportunity to fight ‘Chocolatito’ or ‘Bam’ (WBC world championJessie Rodriguez), I’d do that if it makes sense.”

Fighting out of South Central Los Angeles, “Scrappy” hasn’t fought since last December 14th when he decisioned previously undefeatedEphraim Bui (10-0) med massor av 97-93 tre gånger. In Ramirez’ previous fight in April of 2024, “Scrappy” had suffered the lone loss of his pro career to Jimenez for the WBA Interim Super Flyweight crown.

“I’m hungry! I feel like I’ve been locked up in a cage. I’m happy to be back to the spot I had before.,” Ramirez continued. ”I’m ignoring distractions and continue to work on my craft and self-discipline. I know my opportunity (world title shot) will come. Even when I didn’t know who my opponent would be or even if I’d fight (denna lördag), I just let that go and kept training hard to keep improving.

“Everything is based on my confidence. Jag är fortfarande lära på jobbet. I like to compare it to when I played football, my level of confidence, because I knew what that was all about for me. I’ve gained that same level of experience in the ring, when to or when not to do something that I’ve learned through my experiences. Going back to December 14th, I was coming off my only loss eight months earlier, and it’s been six months since my last fight. I kept on the right path, and now I have my old football comfort and understanding. People compared me with fighters who’ve fought their whole lives, but I didn’t make my pro debut until December of 2020. I started late (i boxning) and I’m still learning and figuring things out.”

Faktiskt, ‘Scrappy’ has been an adaptive learner who resents being called by some as ahyped-up fighter, primarily because of his commitment and sacrifices he’s made to be the all-around fighter he has become.

“I know I have the skills to be world champion,” avslutade Ramirez. “I like to fight and prove people wrong. I train to learn how to perform better. I’m in a great spot. I know I need to keep winning and that my opportunity will come. I’m only really thinking about this fight as I glimpse a little into my future.”

It’s “Scrappy Time” again and the dynamic super flyweight is closing in on his world title.

Boxing’s next great boxing trainer Julian Chua is a rising star in the gym, ring and corner

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez isChua’s first true world champion
(L-R) – Jesse Vargas, head trainer Julian Chua and two-time World Champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez

LOS ANGELES (November 6, 2024) -- One of the hottest young trainers in boxing is Julian Chua, even though he still hasn’t received the high-level respect he deserves from many boxing fans and promoters.

When Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (46-1, 30 Kos) dethroned previously undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Cruiserweight World Champion Arsen “Feroz” Goulamirian (27-0, 19 Kos) detta tidigare mars, Chua’s stock took off because “Zurdo” is the first world champion the 33-year-old Chua developed into a world champion.

The journey Chua took to become the head trainer of “Zurdo,” who is only two months younger than Julian, was unusual, minst sagt. Då, Ramirez was 39-0 and the first of Mexican heritage to be world super middleweight champion, as well as a promotional free agent. “Zurdo” and his manager, David Suh (3 Punkthantering – 3PM), were conducting a search for a new head trainer and the list included some of the top coaches in the country. Chua was a relatively unknown commodity outside of southern California who at that time was training fighters at the famed Wildcard Gym in Hollywood (SÅSOM) under Hall of Fame Trainer Freddie Roach (he had also trained Chua when he was an amateur boxer from Indiana).

I 2018, Suh reached out to Chua to inquire if he’d be interested in training Ramirez, adding that he was also speaking with several other top names. I början, Ramirez really didn’t know who Chua was, at least, until they met at a coffee shop in Santa Monica to get to know each other. After that meeting, Ramirez gave Julian a chance to train him. The rest, Naturligtvis, is part of modern-day boxing history.

“We clicked right away,” lade Chua till. “We learned things about each other and how we liked to train. I’ve always studied a lot and did some research about how he had been trained because I wanted to help him improve. I was getting four fighters ready in L.A. and ‘Zurdo’ couldn’t go there for sparring. I told him that I couldn’t leave these fighters to go and train him in Long Beach. We still wanted to work with each other and ‘Zurdo’ made it work. I went to Long Beach (where Ramirez trained at Hill Street Boxing & Fitness Gym) twice a week and he came to Wildcard three times.”

Chua made his debut at Ramirez’ new head trainer in 2019, when Ramirez moved up in weight to fight as a light heavyweight, stopping Tommy Karpency in four rounds. COVID-19 restrictions adversely affected Ramirez’ activity, but he learned and improved by continuing to work with Chua in the gym. “Zurdo” signed a promotional contract with Golden Boy Promotions, gaining added exposure fighting on the DAZN, and he reeled off four more consecutive victories through the middle of 2022, after which he lost for the first time in his pro career to WBA World Light Heavyweight Champion Dmitry Bivol (20-0), i form av ett beslut 12 Ligt.

Ramirez decided that it was time to move up another division to cruiserweight because he was walking around at 200 pounds. Last October, Ramirez made his cruiserweight debut, albeit at a 193-pound catchweight, against former world light heavyweight champion and Bernard Hopkins conqueror Joe Smith, Jr. (28-4). “Zurdo” won a unanimous 10-round decision to become the mandatory challenger for Goulamirian.

“’Zurdo’ is the first world champion I’ve ‘built’ but I’ve been brought in to work with some world champions on their weaknesses – Regis Prograis, Steph Fulton and Alycia Baumgardner,” Chua commented. “It’s a lot more difficult that way because you can’t really have an impact in only two or three months. I’ve been working with ‘Zurdo’ for five years and I’ve had it good. He has a lot of natural talent and has always been a smart fighter, but he picked ‘nuts-and-guts’ too often in his decision making. He didn’t need to get hit so much even though he has a great chin. He has such a beautiful style and he’s so intelligent.”

“He’s such a natural. Mexicans are uppercut kings. I noticed that, defensively, Arsen didn’t move his head or feet much. He was so wide that he was open up the middle for uppercuts, left or right, and that was our master plan. We worked on ‘Zurdo’ not throwing his uppercuts from too far away. He had been wide but, in this fight, he smothered his opponent inside. He did a lot of technical work and he’s always been a versatile fighter. I have him boxing more off his back foot. He could bully opponents with his size at 168, but he doesn’t have that same physical luxury to impose his size at cruiserweight. He’s using his boxing skills more.”

Chua admits he cherished Ramirez capturing the WBA crown, professionally as well as personally. And he also believes “Zurdo” can become the first Mexico-born heavyweight world champion, the same as he was as world super middleweight and cruiserweight champion.

“It meant the world to me,” Chua spoke about ‘Zurdo’ becoming the WBA Cruiserweight World Champion. “The expression on my face when they announced the scores showed how much it meant to me. I’m still fighting for my respect with fans and promoters, especially after the Bivol fight. ‘Zurdo’ is too slick. I believe in this guy! I can see him moving up to heavyweight, but I want to clean up some more things defensively. Sometimes he keeps his head too low, and I don’t want him testing his chin so much. Depending on who the heavyweight champion is when he’s ready, I believe he can be heavyweight champion of the world with his activity so slick and prioritizing his defense. We’re going to double down. As Abel Sanchez (Goulamirian’s trainer) said at the post-fight press conference, he didn’t think ‘Zurdo’ was so slick, offensively and defensively.”

Chua is preparing “Zurdo” to take on WBO Cruiserweight Chris Billam-Smith (20-1, 13 Kos) in a unification match on November 16th in Riyadh, saudi-arabien.

In addition to several mixed-martial-arts fighters, Chua is also the head trainer for pro boxers such as WBA world super flyweight challenger and WBA #6-rated John “Scrappy” Ramirez (13-1, 9 Kos), undefeated Hawaiian middleweight prospect Jordan “The Patriot” Panthen (9-0, 8 Kos), 2012 Ukrainian Olympian welterweight Taras Shelestyuk (19-0-1, 11 Kos), undefeated New York City welterweight Arnold Gonzalez (15-1, 7 Kos), Armenian super bantamweight Azat “Crazy A” Hovhannisyan (21-5, 17 Kos), and former WBA Inter-Continental Champion “Supreme” Kareem Hackett (12-1, 6 Kos), of Toronto.

Catch the Chua experience, Julian is making a name for himself in boxing circles and drawing fighters to work with him at Brickhouse Boxing Club in North Hollywood, Kalifornien. The best is yet to come, emellertid, especially if “Zurdo” becomes world heavyweight champion in the not-too-distant future.

Super Flyweight John “Scrappy” Ramirez Learned invaluable lessons from his world title loss and will be returning to the ring soon

Lämna en kommentar
(picture courtesy of 3 PM)

LOS ANGELES (Oktober 29, 2024) – Super flyweight contender John “Scrappy” Ramirez (13-1, 9 Kos) learned an invaluable lesson last June at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, when he lost for the first time as a professional to Fernando David Jimenez (16-1), by way of a 12-round unanimous decision, för det lediga World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Flyweight title.

Unless your last name is Marciano, Mayweather, Calzaghe, Lopez or Ward, prizefighters generally don’t retire without a loss on their record. How a fighter responds to his or her first defeat is pivotal, because they either learn from the experience and improve, or go the opposite direction.

“Scrappy” Ramirez is coming back to the ring with a vengeance, as well as a new outlook for the South Los Angeles fighter.

“I learned I have what it takes to be world champion,sa Ramirez. “I took the loss and, instead of complaining, right after that fight I started to think about what had happened and why. I have the skills and I’m capable of being world champion, but I fought his (Jimenez) slagsmål. My next fight I won’t be fighting on emotion, I’ll be using my brain. I need to use my brain, not my heart. It was a good fight and entertaining, but it wasn’t my night. Själv, I gained confidence, as crazy as that may sound in a loss. I know I belong here.”

“I want to fix what went wrong. I have high expectations and so do my fans because they see my talent. I’ve only been fighting eight years. I get mad sometimes because I haven’t mastered my craft, but it takes time. I have to keep going and embrace my training.”

For the first time in his relatively short pro career – he made his debut December 18, 2020 – the WBA No. 6 rated Ramirez will be training for the first time after a loss at Brickhouse Boxing Club in North Hollywood, Kalifornien.

“I’m not training as hard every day because I’m taking better care of my body,” Ramirez explained. “I’ve come up with some new things by studying old-school fighters like Sugar Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns. I’m fine-tuning my skills. I made a mistake fighting with my heart instead of my head. No drastic changes in my training, fast. I’m working on throwing more counters. I’m a big 115-pounder who just walked down my opponent. I’m going to use my jab – I have a good one – and my feet instead of sitting in the pocket and catching everything.

“It’s all part of the process. I’m not happy it (the loss) happened. I lost my first world title fight and in my second I’ll be the winner and show everybody the type of character I have as a man. I’ll take the next opportunity to show my growth”

According to the 28-year-old Ramirez, the plan is for him to have two more fights, hopefully one by the end of this year, before he’s in another world title fight, preferably against Jimenez, assuming he still has the strap.

“I want a rematch with this guy (Jimenez), partly because he has the belt, but to prove to myself I can beat him,” Ramirez admitted. “He did everything we saw on film: he came forward and didn’t tire. No surprises. I need to fight my fight, not his, to prove myself to the world. ‘Scrappy’ needs to fight his fight!

“I’ve reflected on that fight, and I was capable of beating him. He has a big amateur pedigree, so it was a confidence builder for me in defeat.”

In retrospect, everything may have happened too fast for “Scrappy,” who has only been fighting eight years, including a brief stint as an amateur, and then he was moved quickly in the pro ranks, even fighting several times during the COVID pandemic. Before you knew it, he was headlining shows and found himself in the enviable position as undefeated WBA mandatory contender.

“Everything really happened so fast,” avslutade Ramirez, “but I now know that it takes a long time to master my craft. I’m enjoying this process and I’m happy right now. I got used to things happening fast for me. I’m trusting the process. I chose this life.

“I’m not running away from this situation, and I’ll handle it the next time I fight for the world title. I can’t blame anybody for what happened, because once I step into the ring, it’s just me and my opponent. I screwed up but the next world title shot I’ll get it right.”

“Scrappy” Ramirez is a charter member of 3 Punkthantering (3 PM), which has a growing stable of gifted boxers including WBA Cruiserweight World Champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (46-1, 30 Kos), WBA Nej. 6-rated super middleweight Darius “DFG” Fulgham (12-0, 10 Kos), and former WBA Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Champion Kareem “Supreme” Hackett (12-1, 6 Kos).

Los Angeles Inner-City Legend Undefeated bantamweight prospect John “Scrappy” Ramirez Fighting at home for first time this Saturday

Lämna en kommentar

Scrappy action.jpg

LOS ANGELES (Mars 17, 2022) – Undefeated Los Angeles bantamweight prospect John “Scrappy” Ramirez (8-0, 7 Kos) returns to the ring this Saturday (Hav. 19) to take on Roberto “Escorpion” Pucheta (10-20-3, 10 Kos), av Mexiko, in a 6-round bout on the Blair Cobbs-Alexis Rocha card (replacing Vergil Ortiz, Jr.-Michael McKinson), presented by Golden Boy Promotions.

The main card will be streamed live on DAZN from USC Galen Center in Los Angeles; go to Golden Boy’s YouTube page to watch the Ramirez vs. Pucheta live stream.

Ramirez is an LA inner-city sports legend. His journey started on the gridiron, not in a ring, när han var en nyckelmedlem i fotbollslaget Lincoln High, profilerade i en 2015 dokumentära, "ESPN 60: Letterman.” The players were from a crime-ridden section of Hollywood riddled with drugs and guns. Ramirez var en 5'4", 160-pund springer tillbaka på ett lag som, med start i Pop Warner-tävlingen, and advanced to Lincoln High, som inte hade haft framgång i fotboll. Lincoln High blev en 3-faldig ligamästare, highlighted by its semi-final playoff appearance in his senior year, which eventually led “Scrappy” to a roster spot on the Los Angeles Valley College’s football team.

“The venue is only a five-minute drive from my home,” an excited Ramirez said. “I literally drive by it every day. I grew up around USC and played football there. Nu, I’m fighting in the inner-city where I grew up. That’s pretty dope! My dream is to fight at Staples Center, which is only a three-minute drive for me. I’m getting closer.

“Things like this don’t happen by accident. På mars 18th, I’ll showcase my skills in front of my people. LA is the City of Champions, but we haven’t had a world boxing champion since Oscar de la Hoya, who grew up in East LA. My goal is to be the next LA champ.”

 “Scrappy,” who was one of the most active fighters in 2021 with seven bouts, successfully transitioned from football to boxing, albeit a relatively short amateur boxing career with only 25 amatörmatcher. He did garner top honors in the Sugar Bert National Championships, samt i de regionala Golden Gloves och SoCal-turneringarna.

“I last fought on December 18th, took a week off, and went right back to training camp at Brickhouse Boxing Club (N. Hollywood),” the 26-year-old Ramirez added. “I’m getting better and that’s super exciting for me. I’ve been with my strength-and-conditioning coach, running, and working on my boxing skills. My training hasn’t stopped, it’s going full force.”

Pucheta has been stopped only once in 33 pro slagsmål, tillbaka 2016 by Emanuel Navarrete, the current World Boxing Organization (WBO) Super Bantamweight Champion, som sport en 35-1 (29 Kos) pro record.

“He’s a tough, durable opponent,” Ramirez noted, “who has been in the ring with a lot of good prospects. This is a great opportunity for me to make a statement by becoming only the second to knock him out.”

Ramirez’ accelerated pace and development continues this Saturday, when it’ll be “Scrappy Time” once again, only this time at home.

“I want to be at the top and will,” he concluded. “Every fight elevates me. My goal is to be No. 1 in my weight class, and I’ll get there because of my hard work and dedication.”

Möt Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez skyddsling Den obesegrade bantamviktsprospekten John "Scrappy" Ramirez

Lämna en kommentar
Team Scrappy.jpg
(L-R) – Arion Jafari, Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez, David Suh, och John "Scrappy" Ramirez

LOS ANGELES (Januari 12, 2022) – Den obesegrade bantamviktsprospekten John "Scrappy" Ramirez (8-0, 7 Kos), den andra boxaren skrev på 3 Punkthantering (3PM) som också klarar sig 43-0 Gilberto "Zurdo"-kampanjer, var utan tvekan den mest aktiva boxaren i USA i 2021 med sju proffskamper, inklusive tre på högprofilerade plattformar med rubriken "Zurdo,” den tidigare världsmästaren i supermellanvikt, och idag den topprankade världens lätt tungviktsutmanare.


“'Scrappy' är ett hårt arbetande barn som jag har känt ett tag nu och det är fantastiskt att ha honom i närheten,” kommenterade Lefty. ”Han har en personlighet som är större än livet, och hans flamma är ofta väl mottagen. Jag tror om han fortsätter att jobba hårt och stannar på gymmet, himlen är gränsen. Vi vet att han är en sann atlet och jag skulle ställa honom mot vem som helst i bantamviktsdivisionen.”


"Scrappy" gjorde sin proffsdebut i december 18, 2020, på ett pay-per-view-evenemang som marknadsförs och rubriceras av "Zurdo." Två slagsmål senare, "Scrappy" slogs i sin första schemalagda 6-rounder, förutom en planerad 8-rundsmatch i hans sjätte proffskamp.


"Scrappy" och "Zurdo" är inte relaterade, emellertid, de är nära och som den 25-årige John förklarade, "Hos oss är det lillebror och storebror. Han kanske inte jobbar på mitt hörn, vanligtvis för att han slåss senare på samma kort, men jag är med honom varje dag vi tränar på Brickhouse (Boxning), och han ger mig alltid tips och stöd. Jag bor i centrala Los Angeles bara 15 minuters bilresa från gymmet i North Hollywood. Den har allt och den verkliga skönheten med den är att den lockar fighters att sparra och träna med, speciellt när fighters är där för sitt träningsläger. Vi hade precis "Zurdo,’ David Benavidez, och 4-faldiga världsmästaren Brian Viloria, som är där som tränare, för vår sista kamp.


"Jag mår bra av att veta att jag var den andra fightern som värvades av 3 Punkthantering. Nu, vi har andra fighters i vårt stall och det ger mer konkurrens. Jag vill vara bäst och, även om vi är i samma lag, Jag vill gå ut och göra vad som krävs för att bli den bästa fighter jag kan vara. Jag är med "Zurdo" varje dag jag är på gymmet och tittar på honom. Han får allt att se lätt ut, utan ansträngning, och det är vackert. Han litade på mig och jag vill visa honom att det var ett bra beslut. Jag är mycket stolt över att vara den första fighter de värvade.”’


Ramirez lång, mödosam resa till denna punkt började på rutnätet inte i en ring, när han var en nyckelmedlem i fotbollslaget Lincoln High, profilerade i en 2015 dokumentära, "ESPN 60: Letterman.” Spelarna kom från en brottslig del av Hollywood som var full av droger och vapen. Ramirez var en 5'4", 160-pund springer tillbaka på ett lag som, med start i Pop Warner-tävlingen, sedan avancera till Lincoln High, som inte hade haft framgång i fotboll. Lincoln High blev en 3-faldig ligamästare, framhävd av semifinalspelet i slutspelet under hans sista år, ledde så småningom "Scrappy" till en lista på Los Angeles Valley Colleges fotbollslag.


Trots att han varnats skulle han vara rödskjortad som nybörjare, Ramirez spelade på universitetet som en riktig nybörjare men, efter sin första säsong, "Scrappy" var inte nöjd med sin speltid eller affärssidan av collegefotboll. "Scrappy" befann sig snart i vad han beskrev som en "mörk plats" i månader, försöker komma på vad han ville göra med sitt liv. Han försökte ta värvning i alla fyra militära grenar, men fick avslag pga, sa han, på grund av alla tatueringar på hans kropp och deras visuella placeringar. En dag, hörde han en väns röst från det förflutna säga, ’Gå till ett gym.’ Trots att man inte har någon erfarenhet av boxning, han gick in på det berömda Wild Card Gym för att prata med Hall of Fame-tränaren, ägare Freddie Roach, som sa till Ramirez att det skulle bli svårt att träna och att han skulle behöva börja som amatörboxare. Hans arbetsmoral var beundransvärd och för att han var en begåvad idrottare, allt klickade snart, och han blev boxningsstudent. Ramirez hade 25 amatörmatcher, fånga högsta utmärkelser i Sugar Bert National Championships, samt i de regionala Golden Gloves och SoCal-turneringarna.


"Jag var på rätt väg,” lade Ramirez till. "Allt jag lärde mig i fotboll av tränaren Muskaki Matsumoto (Lincoln High) Jag sökte i boxningsliknande disciplin. Jag tränade hårt varje dag och det var ingen bortkastad tid.”


Ramirez flyttade till New York City eftersom en boxningsvän till honom hade en manager där som var villig att hjälpa "Scrappy" att göra sin proffsdebut. Olyckligtvis, fast, pandemikarantänen trädde i kraft, avbryter sin planerade proffsdebut bara en vecka före det planerade datumet. Ramirez stannade på Churchill Gym, sparring och träning, fortfarande hoppfull om att göra sin proffsdebut i Big Apple. Han återvände så småningom till Los Angeles och flera veckor före det första Zurdo Promotions-evenemanget i Galveston, Texas, han fick vad som nu är ett livsavgörande samtal från Zurdos manager, David Suh.
Scrappy action.jpg
"Innan jag åkte till New York City, Jag hade pratat med David om att göra min proffsdebut,” lade Ramirez till. "Han kom ihåg när jag kom tillbaka till LA och frågade om jag ville göra min proffsdebut i december 18th (2020). Jag tror att allt händer av en anledning. Jag hade blivit vän med Julian Chua på Wild Card. Han såg mig jobba på gymmet och gillade min arbetsmoral. Han gav mig tips och sa att vi en dag skulle arbeta tillsammans. Julian blev Zurdos huvudtränare och nu är han min, för."


Hans imponerande pro-debutprestation – KO i första omgången — ledde till att locka "Scrappy" att teckna ett chefskontrakt med 3 Punkthantering.


"Scrappy" säger att han är en spännande, unik fighter från sin ringvandring till sin outfit, samt sättet han kämpar på. "Jag tar med Bad Intentions in i ringen,” lade han till. "Det är kul! Jag är en schackspelare som alltid planerar framåt. Jag är mångsidig och kan anpassa mig i ringen, vilket är superviktigt. Jag vill ta din själ!"


"'Scrappy' har inte bara kompetensen,” lade Chua till, "Han har den karisma och showmanship som krävs för att bli en riktig stjärna i denna sport. Blanda inte ihop självförtroende med arrogans. Han tar sin träning med en världsmästarattityd.”


En självutnämnd student i boxning, "Scrappy" har särskilt tyckt om att titta på och studera Hector Camacho, Edwin Valero, Adrien Broner, Canelo Alvarez, Gervonta Davis, Vasyl Lomatjenko, och, Naturligtvis, "Zurdo" Ramirez.


"Jag är ödesbestämd,” avslutade Ramirez. "Jag har sett allt detta. Jag visualiserade, planerade, och skapade dessa upplevelser innan de inträffade. Jag var en av de mest aktiva kämparna i landet förra året. Mitt mål för 2022 är att vara upptagen, fortsätt lära dig, och göra uttalanden. jag skulle vilja ha 6 fler slagsmål, bli rankad, och ta hem ett mästerskapsbälte. Jag kommer att fortsätta vinna och ge folk en show.
