Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez today united the titles of WBA and WBO Cruiser Wweight in Riyadh, defeating Chris Billam-Smith in the harsh main event, which deserves the main recognition on both sides.

Ramirez took the fight for the results of 116-112, 116-112 and 116-113, a clear win in a very competitive fight, in which Billam-Smith, as always, did not disappear.

Billam-Smith (20-2, 13 KO) saw his series of wins at the age of 11 came to an end, but he pressed to win the fight all the way. As usual, Billam-Smith seemed to be very little energy through the middle rounds, but also as usual, he spotted an amazing determination, this time fighting with a quite rocky eyelid, which had to get a little impaired.

He also had the best opponent in Ramirez (47-1, 30 KO), which seems to have really settled in his best form as a cruiser’s weight, not cutting so much weight before the fighting, and looking robust and very capable of spending with the best dogs on this weight, and at that moment only the level did not test only two fights into his tough campaign, in which he would include belt.

(The title of WBC is a hero in Noroair Mikaeljan, who is associated with Don King, and therefore it is currently an inactive belt.)

Arnold Barboz Jr. defeats Jose Ramirez at a distance

Ramirez (29-2, 18 KO) looked like much older 32 than his opponent, and Barboza (31-0, 11 KO) had a really nice reflection in the form of the April win on Sean McCcomb. If Barboza were bored in this fight, the child is understandable, but the good news would be that he took him as a wake up and returned to business.

Barboza was not amazing or anything here, but he won this fight solidly and clearly. The results were 96-94, 96-94 and 97-93, and these are close, because you could wisely shoot fights, and I thought it was strenuous to find four rounds for Ramirez, which looked too often on a worried fight.

For now, Barboza is now a closed claimant to 140 and you would hope that he will finally get the title opportunity soon, but now it is a strange division with stripes.

For Ramirez, we blessed him earlier, even at a profit. When opponents open to the fire brigade, he stands out. When opponents can control their own stake with a stab, he has a habit sleeping in a uninteresting fight, which does not benefit his skills.

William Zepeda edge next to Tevin Farmer

Zepeda (32-0, 27 KO) was dropped in the fourth round of this fight, a bit more than knocking out the “flash”, but not something that was in real trouble, but the peach of the shot that landed in purity. But he deserved this win, which took place at the divided decision, and all three judges fired a fight 95-94, two to Zepeda and one for a farmer.

The bad left hook shot a slightly wider fight, but just lightly, at 96-93 for Zepeda. Farmer (33-7-1, 8 KO) put a huge effort in this fight and although these are two plain losses, the losses have reached a fairly high level. Especially this time the farmer is painful, but the world blessed that he still has a lot to sacrifice. It will be a type of “guard” who offers forward and although not what his career wants to be, there will be a better chance of nervous of some guys, and one of those times can simply do it.

28 -year -old Zepeda has flaws and is a ready product. Fighters at this stage do not change so much, it will not be defensively solid, it will always be a problem. He will win or lose based on what he has when he stands now. It can solve diminutive problems, but it will always be defensive.

The plan is that Zepeda will face Shakur Stevenson in 2025 titled WBC Stevenson. Zepeda received WBC in this momentary belt, even though it was only a 10-round fight, because sanctioning bodies do not have a actual standard and create their own rules so that they can follow them or not, it doesn’t really matter. But Zepeda was already there as not. 1 Pretender, in any case they received sanctioning money from it.

This fight also achieved its main goal, which consisted in introducing Zepeda with someone who can at least repeat the experience of fighting a technician like Stevenson. Zepeda may simply not be able to defeat Shakura, but he is now as ready as he can really see, and his power, cardio and starting power always give him a chance.

Oscar Collazo has now united at 105

27-year-old Collazo broke off the hands of Niyomtrong, no matter how long the Thai owner of the titles still threatens the hero, winning three knocking down and the seventh round to add the title of WBA to his Herda Pasa WBO.

Collazo (11-0, 8 KO) was clearly a younger, stronger man in this fight, because Niyomtrong (25-1, 9 KO) came with one fight since 2022, and it was only two months ago and it was not simple. With his age – 34 -year -old pushes a 105 pounds on a player – and free time, this quick turn may not be the best thing for a man also known as “CP Freshmart knockout”, but time ticks.

Niyomtrong stayed once in sixth and twice in the seventh, before judge Ricky Gonzalez canceled it without counting on the third knocking. It was quite a dominant performance for Collazo, who clearly made his claim as the best warrior in the Branch Branch.

The Collazo plan is to become the first unquestioned champion of four stripes in the history of the division, and now the chances of it look good, he is a great warrior.

• Oscar Duarte UD-10 Batyr Akhmedov: A good, strenuous fight and another hard loss for Akhmedov, which drops to 10-4 (9 KO), but is damn better, being a warrior than this percentage of win would lead you to think. Duarte (28-2-1, 22 KO) got the results 96-94, 97-93 and 98-92, but it was more competitive than the latter, would make you think, despite the fact that the judges got the winner in a hard fight. Duarte has made more obvious damage, but Akhmedov also fits a handful of times in which he was quite clearly shocked, and still has something to offer at the age of 33, it will not be simple if he becomes more like the type of guard; He would be a high -class guardian, a legal test to pass. Duarte stays as a potential pretender at 135/140.
• Ziyad almaayouf D-6 Juan Garcia: The result of jokes, because Garcia (5-6-1, 0 KO) was absolutely and clearly the winner of this fight, but we will continue to endure the idea that Almaayouf (6-0-1, 1 KO) is a real perspective with a substantial advantage. It is simple to understand because boxing actually works, the desire to have a Saudi boxer star. But to really produce it, it takes real time, and Almayouf is not this guy. This is his second in a row, in which he went to a draw, and the last one was overthrown to DQ victory for Ziyad, because the opponent-niski level of fighting did not pass the drug test after the fight in California. If Saudi Arabia develops a stern amateur program, more for long -term training than the results in amateur competitions, yes, the star or a few will develop. But those who can do this can now be about six years vintage. Almaayouf is 24 years vintage and unlikely to become much better than now, there is a clear lack of skill that even someone as low as Garcia has fully used or in this fight. The comment was very careful with his words, but no one would be able to watch this fight and think that Ziyad deserved the better than a loss.

Jake Paul won an straightforward win of over 58-year-old Mike Tyson tonight in Texas, surprising anyone who did not come in with the illusion that Mike Tyson is nothing close to what he was.

Paul (11-1, 7 KO) won the Farcical Fight with the score of 79-73, 79-73 and 80-72, and the old Tyson (50-7, 44 KO) landed all 18 strokes in eight rounds, according to the Compubox numbers.

Tyson-which actually has an official loss with Jake Paul in his real boxing record, now he had absolutely nothing from the opening bell, and until the third two minutes round each ounce of energy was sucked from the packed stage AT & t as designs. on what they spent their real, real money on.

This reality was such that Tyson was too elderly and too athletic, despite the aesthetic great body of an elderly man, and that Paul, who started Tyson in the early rounds, probably sandblasting, so that he would not make any series.

27-year-old Paweł demanded that there was no “excuses” because he “defeated Mike Tyson,” but he did not defeat Mike Tyson. He defeated the man, barely disturbing 60, who had not fought for almost 20 years, and he had nothing close to his main self in closer to 30, before Paweł was born.

The truth about this unhappy event is that it will always be like that. Another truth is that it should never have been sanctioned, and others is that it should never really happen in any form except for something similar to the Tyson exhibition in the field of destiny with Roy Jones Jr in 2020, a night that left fans of boxing legend simply uncomplicated because they received some show from elderly favorites.

It wasn’t, and the next reality is that Paweł’s boxing career will last, it will have a significant victory and achievement, and he will repeat the world titles in the future, despite the fact that the only semi-obstacle, actual professional boxer, with whom fury met, with the renowned brother who gave Paweł in his only defeat in another fight, which he cannot approach his only defeat in another fight, which he could not approach in his only failure in his only defeat in another fight, own mortgage.

The world should be tired of this. The thinness of this act is becoming more and more obvious, but there will be enough enough to buy, and the series will appear to the next destination.
