Gilbert Ramirez decides for ‘easy’ defense: The champion faces Dorticos instead of Opetai united

VBA and VBO Cruiservight Champion Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez (47-1, 30 Kos) decided to defend its two seat belts against no. 1 VBA-Ranked Competition Yuniel Dorticos (27-2, 25 Kos) 28. June.

The ring is reporting If Ramirez, 30, decided to defend her from 39-year-old Dorticos next. That fight will not attract almost as much interest as if Ramirez agreed to face the IBF Champion Jai Opetai in the unification of unification. This fight will not move the needle with fans, but gives the Gilberto chance to hold a little longer on its two titles.

Dorticos: Then now

Dorticos Gilberto Ramirez Department will satisfy sentimental Older fans, who remember how the exciting Cuban fighter was during their best years ago. However, Dorticos did not beat observed opponents from his victories over Andrew Tabia In 2019 and Mateusz Masternak 2018 years. Even those two were more fluids than top quality wood fighters. It’s been a long time for a fighter to cross between dealing with candidates. That is why Dorticos is a bad choice for a golden boy who promoted the Ramirez to defend against. If the idea is to milk two belts as long as possible, he is a great choice.

In his last career fight, Ramirez was beaten by his career, beat Chris Billiam-Smith with a 12-round unanimous decision in war 16. November last year in Riyadh. Some of the heads that Gilberto absorbed in that struggle from severe Milijal-Smith were brutal. After that struggle, it is understandable why the Ramirez chooses to defend himself from 40sh Iuniel, not a face in walking Gillion Jai Opetai.

Dorticos didn’t fight for anyone for notes in five years, and it was unclear how much he left in the tank in his age.

Division Country

The World Booking Association gave Dorticos a # 1 Ranking, but the level of the opposition beaten in the last three struggles indicates that it should be ranked near the place. It also reflects that the cruise division is now weak. It is one of the weakest weight classes in sports, next to the Welter and Medium Weight Department.

The last three opponents in Dorticos

-Alan Camp-19-9
-Deibis Berrocal-18-12
– Jesse Brian – 20-5-2

The former IBF and VBA Cruiserveight Champion Dorticos was one of the above names in the division. However, he fought only one of the time he lost the IBF title Mairis Briedis To 12. to 12. September 20. September 2020. years.

Dortikos seems to be on the melody assembly and remained in the last five years, and not returned to the fight against the World Class opposition. Who knows what is the reason for this-lack of ambition or trust on part of Dorticos?

How do you only fight three in five years against a different opposition? When you see a fighter that has been inactive for a long time, there is a reason for it. Is that loss Briedis done something to just belief in Dorticos?
