The fight from the first bell promised to be a competitive one. Ramirez was more active, but it was Hart who delivered clearer shots. In the second half of the battle it seemed that Hart had the advantage and was able to create an upset.
In the end, the judges gave the victory to Ramirez, who defended his WBO belt for the fifth time. Thus, the 27-year-old Gilberto repeated his victory over Hart last September.
Ramirez announced that he was considering the transition to the light heavyweights, and it is possible that he will continue his career in this weight category. The Mexican should return to the ring next spring.
