  • Background: Ramirez tasted defeat for the first time in his career in November, take a broad decision to 175-pound champion Dmitry Bivol. Now comes the first step in the rebuilding process. Of course, the former 168-pound owner from Mexico has no shame: Bivol knocked out the great Canelo Alvarez by decision in his previous bout. At the same time, the limitations of the former 168-pound belt holder appear to be exposed. Rosado, who will debut at 175, probably wouldn’t present such a challenge for Ramirez. The persistent but restrained 37-year-old from Philadelphia is defying logic by continuing to win more meaningful fights because of his fighting spirit and more recognizable name than his achievements. He has become a classic “rival”, a boxer hired to fight hard but lose. He has lost his last three games, including the decisive one that knocked out Ali Akhmedov in September. He has injected life into his career by stopping hot prospect Bektemir Melikuziev for three rounds in 168th place in 2021.
