LOS ANGELES (7月 2, 2025) - - It’s “Scrappy Time” again!
For the first time in 2025, charismatic super flyweight contenderJohn “Scrappy” Ramirez (15-1, 9 戦績) 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 boxerジェイク「問題児」ポール(12-1, 7 戦績) に対してジュリオセザールチャベス, ジュニア. (54-7-1, 34 戦績) アナハイムのホンダセンターにて, カリフォルニア州.
8ラウンドの試合では、, “Scrappy” dominated Houston’sJosue Jesus Morales (33-19-5, 14 戦績), who was a very late replacement forSaletoヘンダーソン (10-2, 7 戦績), 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,」ラミレスは説明した. “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, 関係なく, because I prepare at camp for anything that may happen. I wanted the fight and gave him (モラレス) two passes on weight. He was coming in heavy; そう, 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. すべての出来事には意味がある. 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 WBAで, などはありません. 12 といいえ. 15, それぞれ, 世界ボクシング評議会によって (WBC) and WBO.Fernando Daniel Martinez (16-0, 9 戦績), アルゼンチンの, is the reigning WBA Super Flyweight World Champion, David Jimenez (17-1, 11 戦績) remains the WBA Interim Champion.
“I’m back where I left off (しない. 1 ランキング),ラミレスは言った. “After my last fight I was No. 2, ‘Chocolatito’ (ローマン·ゴンザレス) was on top. And before this coming fight, I wanted to go up to No. 1 その後, 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. この時点で, 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) のスコアで 97-93 三回. 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 (今週の土曜日), I just let that go and kept training hard to keep improving.
“Everything is based on my confidence. 私はまだ仕事で学んでいます. 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 14目, 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. 遅く始めました (ボクシング) and I’m still learning and figuring things out.”
確かに, ‘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,」ラミレスは結論を出しました. “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.
