Zurdo Ramirez combines victory over Billam-Smith, more results
Published
4 weeks agoon

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.

Former heavyweight champion, Lennox Lewis, shares the breakdown of the upcoming fight for the title between Oleksandre Uesesyk and Tyson Fury. Lewis says that he expects this fight to be even better than the first, because he expects Fury to treat this rematch much more seriously, and even better prepared. Here are some of what Lewis said about the fight.
Oleksandr Utiliter is revised Tyson Fury for heavyweight supremacy on December 21.
“It will be a tough fight for both guys,” Lewis said. “It will be mentally tough, it will be physically tough. They will push each other a mental base, breathe each other physically. The challenge and physical challenge.
“I think it will be a banger, it will be a earnest fight … One guy was more earnest than the other guy (in the first fight) – you can say that Tyson Fury loot, that the fight and utility won. Fight, so he will be more concentrated, he will be a little bigger to go through this fight and is much more earnest.
“Ulsyk is an applicant, it is tough for him to hit and knows what to do. He goes there, he will hit you for a second, and then he is out of reach. So this is Tit-For-Tat. Both will employ their intelligence, their IQ ring. Well.
“I like Tyson with a slightly greater weight. Maybe this time he will come in with greater weight. He is always a good warrior, even with weight and height can push a diminutive guy, he can put the weight on a diminutive guy, he can do it to unleksandr utyk and make it harder to fight.”

The most vital information: Jonhatan Cardoso Profit UD-10 against Eduardo Ramirez
Published

April 22, 2025
Jonhatan Cardoso went outside Eduardo Ramirez in Florida, using his size and skills to achieve a unanimous victory of the decision in the last Probox event of 2024.
Cardoso (18-1, 15 KO) achieved its fourth victory at Probox, this time deciding on the Outbox Ramirez box, which never stopped trying to force fire fighting, but he could never change the pace. Cardoso wounded him in the middle of 4, but Ramirez hung and quickly recovered, which led to an excellent round from both men in 5th place.
Ramirez (28-5-3, 13 KO) put in a very game, wobling cardoso in the 9th round. But even in his best rounds, Cardoso looked like the advantage of most rounds in my eyes. The comment did not agree, do not perceive him as a much more equal fight, a sentiment divided by official judges who provided the results of 97-93, 96-94, 96-94.
Regardless of whether you saw it close or broadly, it is a well-deserved decision for Cardoso, which has 4-0 within two and a half years of its only professional loss. Ramirez loses in the second time consistent in 2024, when it fell on the Magsayo market decision in June, but looks robust even in failure.
Luis Nunez UD-10 Leonardo Baez
Solid, if not entirely thrilling, they win Luisa Nunez in the main support. Nunez (20-0, 13 KO) largely controlled the fight, but he did it with one to two action and never really brought many emotions. It is Leonardo Baez for the first time since a broad defeat against Rey Vargas over three years ago, he showed real urgency.
Baez (21-6, 12 KO) never really threatened, but he was impressed by his intensity and perseverance through all kinds of adversity. After two rounds, Baez already had wild bruises on his left biceps and fighting in shoes wrapped in tape to stop him from slipping all over the ring. Baez’s nose began to bleed in the sixth, and then he was really broken and began to make a faces mess in 9.
Baez made a distance, but he wasn’t really in the mix of a decision, losing unanimously on the official results of 98-92, 98-92, 99-91. A good effort in failure and strongly showed that he still has a fighting spirit after a long time from the ring.
Katsum Akitsgi Ko-6 Aston Palicte
Another passing performance by Katsuma Akitsgi, who will cut out the second knockout victory in a row in his second Probox performance. Akitsgi (12-0, 3 KO) was clever pressure from the opening bell, having crunchy shots on both sides of the Palicte head. Akitsgi did a quick work on all sides, when he could give the tone, and then he stood even better when he could stand and trade when Palcite tried to lie down with him.
Palicte (28-7-1, 23 KO) began to be discouraged in the middle rounds, when Akitsgi swayed him at the beginning of the round, and then wounded him into the body in the last 40 seconds. Palicte survived one more round, but fell on the ropes at the beginning of 6 and could not return to his feet before 10.

WBC orders Munguia vs Mbilli, Gonzalez vs Moloney and more
Published

April 21, 2025
The annual WBC convention is in full bloom, and the rule is approaching the left and right. ESPNS Salvador Rodriguez He is on stage, bringing the most compelling development.
In 168, Mauricio Sulaiman and Co. They ordered Christian Mbilli (28-0, 23 KO) to fight Jaime Munguia (44-1, 35 KO) for a short-lived title, which in turn would lead to a shot in Canelo, if any interest in Canelo following WBC regulations regarding mandatory defense. This is one of the most tempting action fights, which sport has to offer and should be extremely straightforward to do, if Mungia passes next to the miserable unfortunate Bruno Surace this Saturday, because both men are fighting under the highest class banner.
Having said that, Mbilli was previously talking about the fight against Diego Paczeco in the IBF eliminator in January; He finally He withdrew due to problems with timeBut he claimed that he was still open to the fight later this year. This duel can be at some point more than actually for the title shot with William Scull.
A similarly ordered eliminator Super Flyight between the groundbreaking “Chocolatito” Gonzalez (52-4, 42 KO) and Andrew Moloney (26-4, 16 KO) probably won the Earth. Putting aside the fact that Moloney did not squat to get another shot from the title, Fernando Barbosa recently reported That Gonzalez set the fight for the title with Phumelelele Cafu at the beginning of next year. Going where Gonzalez is in his career, I can’t imagine wasting time for an eliminator.
Galal Yafai (9-0, 7 KO) vs Francisco “Chihuas” Rodriguez Jr. (39-6-1, 27 KO) in 112 is another strange. Take the nominal value, it makes sense; Yafai has a short-lived belt, and Rodriguez is the best pretender, so their alignment, while the master Kenshiro Teraji connects to Seigo Yuri Kui, is not a size.
What is happening to Rodriguez got here. After Teraji received a call to fight Cristofer Rosales for an empty belt, WBC directed Rodriguez to fight for a “silver” belt to provide 112, which has not been technically from 2016. There is still no; His two fights and coming on Sunday were at 115.
If it is the same with a reasonable opportunity for an event, the minimum weight of Yokast Valle (32-3, 10 KO) “Initially” He has a defense of his belt on February 22 against 40-year-old Ishikawa (12-3, 10 KO) and matches are You are looking for configuration Union WBC/IBF featherweight between Skye Nicolson (12-0, 1 KO) and Nina Meinke (19-3. 4 KO).
