by

ramirez63By Dan Ambrose: The highly ranked unbeaten #2 WBC, #2 WBO, #3 IBF, #3 WBA super middleweight contender Gilberto Ramirez (31-0, 24 KOs) will be back in the ring next month against the big punching Derek Edwards (27-4-1, 14 KOs) in a scheduled 10 round bout on June 26th in Hidalgo, Texas.

The fight will be televised on tru-TV. This is a risky bout for the 23-year-old Ramirez, as he looked poor in his recent fight against Maxim Vlasov in beating him by a 12 round unanimous decision last January at the 1stBank Center, in Broomfield, Colorado, USA.

by

ramirezBy Dan Ambrose: 2nd tier Russian fighter Maxim Vlasov (30-2, 15 KOs) was supposed to have been someone who would give unbeaten #2 WBA, #2 WBC, #2 WBO super middleweight contender Gilberto Ramirez (31-0, 24 KOs) a minor test and make him look good last Saturday night in their fight on the Mike Alvarado vs. Brandon Rios card at the 1stBank Center, in Broomfield, Colorado, USA.

After all, the 23-year-old Ramirez was thought to be someone who could soon be challenging WBA 168lb champion Andre Ward for his title, and then from there eventually taking over the division.

Arum thinks Gilberto Ramirez beats Chavez Jr right now

by

chavez0By Dan Ambrose: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum believes that highly ranked #2 WBC, #2 WBO, #3 WBA, #4 IBF super middleweight contender Gilberto Ramirez (29-0, 23 KOs) would beat former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (48-1-1, 32 KOs) if that fight were made right now.

Arum says that Chavez Jr has one more fight on his Top Rank contract, and he would likely have that final fight be against the 23-year-old Ramirez if possible. Arum seems to think it would be an easy fight for the 6’3” Ramirez.

If a fight did take place between Ramirez and Chavez Jr, it would be a huge step up in class for Ramirez because he’s been fighting weak opposition during his five-year pro career and not always looking good. Ramirez is all arms and legs, and he’s very easy to hit.
