Neporaženi svjetski takmičar u poluteškoj kategoriji Gilberto Ramirez vjeruje u “Zurdo,” Golden Boy & njegovo meksičko naslijeđe

Avgust 28, 2021 FNU47 Ostavite komentar

(L-R) – Oscar de la Hoya, Gilberto Ramirez & Bernard Hopkins

LAS VEGAS (Avgust 23, 2021) – Neporažen **Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez** (42-0, 28 KOs) osjeća da će dobiti svoju prvu titulu svjetskog prvaka u poluteškoj kategoriji jer vjeruje u sebe, njegov promoter Golden Boy Promotions, i njegovo meksičko naslijeđe.

Bivša Svjetska boksačka organizacija (WBO) Svjetski prvak u super srednjoj kategoriji je vodeći takmičar u poluteškoj kategoriji, No trenutno ocijenjen. 2 od strane World Boxing Organization (WBO) No i. 5 od strane Međunarodne bokserske federacije (IBF), kao i broj. 9 u *The Ring* nezavisna rang lista po prvi put u kategoriji do 175 funti.

Nakon Ramirezove nedavne pobjede nokautom nad **Sullivan Barrera** (22-3, 14 KOs), pozicioniravši ga za osvajanje svjetske titule, svijet boksa se radovao "Zurdo" izazovu Svjetske bokserske asocijacije (WBA) Šampion u super poluteškoj kategoriji **Dmitry Bivol** kasnije ove godine. Bivol je gotovo osigurao obračun s Ramirezom putem objava na društvenim mrežama, ali odjednom je promijenio melodiju i sanjao je o meču ovog novembra koji se neće dogoditi protiv WBA i WBC prvaka u super srednjoj kategoriji **“Saul “Canelo” Alvarez** (56-1-2, 38 KOs).

30-godišnji Ramirez otvoreno je pozvao na borbu s Bivolom ili bilo kojim od drugih svjetskih nositelja titule u poluteškoj kategoriji, **Artur Beterbiev** (WBC/IBF) i **Joe Smith, Jr.** (WBO), čija borba za ujedinjenje, kako se priča, nije na vidiku.

U međuvremenu, sva tri aktuelna svetska šampiona u poluteškoj kategoriji su pala u mrak, barem u smislu borbe protiv Ramireza. Da li je "Zurdo" previše rizičan za njih, ili samo oklijevaju da se bore protiv dokazanog meksičkog izazivača?

“Prepuštam svoje protivnike svom promoteru, Golden Boy, i njegov provodadžija, **Robert Diaz**,“ objasnio je Ramirez. „Svesni su šta ja želim, i vjerujem da su vrijedni i da će učiniti sve što je najbolje za mene. Kao borac, Bio sam jasan da su svi svjetski prvaci u poluteškoj kategoriji na mojoj listi hitova; i ne povlačim svoju izjavu niti zazirem od svađa kao što je većina njih. U ovom svijetu, sve što imam su moja riječ i muda, i ne lomim ih ni zbog koga. Borim se ne samo za sebe, ali zbog mog ponosa i duha meksičkog naroda. Ponosni smo na naše naslijeđe i bili smo najbolji borci. Rusi znaju da ću maknuti i Bivola i Beterbijeva; Joe Smith, Jr. je samo predjelo.”

“Canelo” i **Julio Cesar Gonzalez** (2003) su jedini domaći Meksikanci koji su okrunjeni svjetskim šampionima u poluteškoj kategoriji, ali svi u boksu znaju da se meksički bokseri s dobrim razlogom nazivaju ratnicima.

“Mislim da se svi nerado bore protiv meksičkog poluteškaša poput mene,“ dodao je Ramirez. “Postoji razlog zašto Bivol povlači svoju izjavu i šuti nakon svih njegovih ludorija na društvenim mrežama. Ako je bio ozbiljan, to je laka borba za napraviti, i on to zna (oba borca su se borila na DAZN-u). takođe čujem (**Joshua**) **Buatsi**ime u miksu, ali bih ga apsolutno uništio. Svi ovi momci pričaju, ali rijetko hodaju. Ja sam meksički ratnik; svi znaju način na koji smo izgrađeni!"

Ostali potencijalni kandidati u miksu, izuzimajući aktuelne svjetske prvake, može uključiti **Badou Jack**, **Eleider Alvarez**, **Maxim Vlasov** (Ramirez ga je pobedio kao supersrednje kategorije), i **Lyndon Arthur**.

“Doći će moje vrijeme, zaključio je Ramirez. „Znam da Golden Boy naporno radi na tome da ovo postane stvarnost i kada to dođe vrijeme, svi ovi momci neće imati gde da pobegnu ili da se sakriju. Ostavljam sa kim se borim pored svog provodadžija, Robert Diaz. Vjerujem da će Golden Boy učiniti sve što je najbolje za moju karijeru.

„Nisam frustriran, ovo je dio procesa. Ja sam veteran u ovoj igrici. Mnogi će progovoriti, ali će pasti kada dođe vrijeme za djelovanje. Opet, Vjerujem da će Golden Boy uraditi ono što je obećano i radujem se kakvoj borbi će mi predstaviti.”

Box Fan Expo Postponed until 2022

Avgust 6, 2021 FNU47 Ostavite komentar

To All Boxing Fans,

After reviewing the new CDC government health and mask mandate guidelines for events taking place inside, we have decided to postpone the Box Fan Expo to 2022.

The Box Fan Expo was started to give fans, borci, and the Boxing industry a place to meet each other and celebrate the sport we love and work in. We will reschedule this event when we can safely hold this. The health and safety of all our attendees is our #1 priority.

We are committed to presenting our Boxing Fan Experience with a world-class event and having the champions, current top fighters and hall of fame boxers that you know and love be there to meet and greet their fans.

While we are extremely disappointed with these turns of events, with Covid-19 cases on the rise and the new Delta variant, we felt it is the wisest decision for all of us involved to move this to 2022.

Thank you for loyalty and patience during these difficult times, looking forward in coming back even stronger than ever.

See you soon

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

Siječanj 23, 2021 FNU47 Ostavite komentar

LAS VEGAS (Siječanj 14, 2021) — The first super middleweight world champion of Mexican decent, neporažen **Gilberto “Ljevak” 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. Olimpijski **“Ser” 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. Team Zurdo and Team Browne have until February 5^th to work out a deal before it’ll go to purse bid. Martinez is promoted by his own company, Zurdo Promotions, while Browne is represented by 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.

“Dodatno, 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.”

Prošlog mjeseca, Ramirez fought for the first time in 20 mjeseci, stopping defending champion **Alfonso “El Tigre” Lopez** (32-4, 25 KOs) 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 **“Kralj” Arthur Abraham**(44-4), winning each round for a 12-round unanimous decision (120-106 X 3) to become the World Boxing Organization (WBO) svjetski prvak.

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). “Ljevak” 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. Nacionalni PAL prvenstvima i 2012 U.S. National 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) i 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), i 18-1-1 **Lenjin 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,” zaključio je Ramirez, “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.”

CONTENDERS CLOTHING LAUNCHES FIGHTING FOR FIGHTERS FUND – ALL PROCEEDS TO GO DIRECTLY TO PROFESSIONAL FIGHTERS AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 CRISIS!

April 15, 2020 FNU47 Ostavite komentar

FIGHTERS CAN SIGN UP NOW FOR A DIRECT PAYMENT SENT OUT FIRST WEEK OF MAY ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE NEW’GO THE SOCAL DISTANCE’ FUNDRAISER T-SHIRT& 10% OF SALES AT CONTENDERSCLOTHING.COM TO GO TO FUND

Las Vegas, NV. (April 13, 2020): Contenders Clothing is proud to announce the creation of the Fighting for Fighters Fund, a new program that will put money directly, and immediately, into the hands of professional fighters affected by the current Covid-19 crisis.

With combat sports across the United States being suspended indefinitely, many fighters who earn a living competing professionally are self-employed contractors leaving them out of work and not eligible for state unemployment. While there is money earmarked for contract workers under the Cares Act, funds have been hard to, if not impossible, to access, leaving many working class fighters in dire need of assistance.

“While some well-known apparel companies are donating to large and mostly worldwide health organizations, we’ve yet to see any company directly help fighters,” said Contenders Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Snyder.

“We have been embraced by professional fighters of all levels who have worn our boxer briefs and t-shirts at weigh ins and we truly consider anyone who wears us as part of our family. They’ve had our back and now it’s time to have theirs.”

Funding for Fighting for Fighters will come from the sales of an exclusive, ‘Go The Social Distance’ t-shirt created specifically as a fundraiser for the program. Dodatno, Contenders Clothing is giving 10% of every single sale throughout the entire month of April at www.contendersclothing.com directly into the fund.

Payments will go out the first week of May and will be divided equally from the overall amount Fighting for Fighters raises between all eligible fighters.

“We’ve come to find that fighters are special people in and out of the ring and not enough people understand their sacrifice. Ako Fighting for Fighters can literally buy groceries for a fighters’ family for a week or pay a utility bill at a time when they desperately need it, then we will consider it a success.”

If you are an active professional fighter based in the United States whose income has been affected by the Covid-19 crisis please sign up at:
https://contendersclothing.com/pages/contenders-fighting-for-fighters-fund

If you’d like to purchase the Go the Social Distance t-shirt and have all proceeds go to the Fighting for Fighters Fund, please head to:

Kendo “Tremendo” Castaneda In Florida for first time but on important business trip

Februar 28, 2020 FNU47 Ostavite komentar

This Friday showdown vs. unbeaten NABO champion Yomar “The Magic” Alamo

LAS VEGAS (Februar 27, 2020) – Undefeated super lightweightKendo “Tremendo” Castaneda (17-0, 8 KOs) flew into Orlando from his native San Antonio this past Tuesday night on his first visit to Florida.

Unlike millions of people who go to Orlando for Disneyworld, iako, Castaneda’s initial look at palm trees is simply part of his business trip. Castaneda challenges North American Boxing Organization (NABO) prvakYomar “The Magic” Alamo (17-0-1, 12 KOs) in this Friday night’s 10-round main event, airing live on Boxeo Telemundo, sa početkom u 11:30 poslije podne. I / 8:30 poslije podne. PT, from Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.

Alamo vs. Castaneda is co-promoted by All-Star Boxing, which promotes Alamo and the event, and Castaneda’s promoter, Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions.

“It’s pretty cool here,” Castaneda shared his first impressions of Florida. “A guy working for the promoter met us at the airport to film my arrival and interview me, so it’s been a welcoming experience, and people in Florida know I’m in the house. I like it here. It’s nice and in a way, I feel like I’m at home. I’m going to put on a show for fans, I’m going to be like their Disney World. I’m ready for the big ride and to put on a great show for the people.”

Castaneda captured the vacant North American Boxing Association (Takođe) crown a year ago, taking a 10-round decision from previously undefeatedGilbert Venegas, Jr.(10-0), and followed that with an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over Dominican veteranEudy Berbardo (24-3).

Last October in Reno, Nevada, Castaneda stoppedStan Martyniouk (20-3) in the sixth round, after which he was installed by the World Boxing Organization as its No. 15 rated super lightweight in the world.

WBO No. 8 ranked Alamo, fighting out of Puerto Rico, is coming off the only blemish on either fighter’s pro record, fighting to a draw withAntonio Moran (24-4-1).

Alamo, 24, is the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World and FECARBOX super lightweight champion, who has made three successful NABO title defenses.

"Nakon ove borbe,” Castaneda concluded, “people are going to forget this Alamo (not the famous Alamo in Castaneda’s hometown) and remember me, The Tremendous One. I expect the fight t to end in a spectacular knockout in my favor, late in the fight, because I like to punish my opponent.”
