In the fight for the USBA and WBO Global featherweight titles, two-time Olympic champion Robeysi Ramirez (10-1, 6 KOs) won by spectacular knockout in the fifth round over the previously undefeated Abraham New (21-1, 15 KOs) on the undercard of the Beterbiev-Smith evening at the Hulu Theater Arena at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Southpaw Ramirez was clearly superior to Nova in all components and was able to send him to the floor with a crushing left straight. Stop time 2:20.
"It's all about strategy," Ramirez said after the fight. — I was lucky to work with Ismael Salas, a genius in my team. In fact, it was about preparing this strike. If you watch the fight, you will see that I worked on the torso and waited for this gap to open. I knew he was dangerous, so I had to be careful, but when I saw him open up, I hit and finished the fight."
