Goulamirian-Zurdo clash lands in LA

On March 30, WBA cruiserweight champion Arsen “Feroz” Goulamirian (27-0, 19 KOs) makes his U.S. fighting debut to defend his title against former world champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (45-1, 30 KOs) at the YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California and broadcast live on DAZN.

Arsen Goulamirian: “I am excited to fight for the first time in the United States, and of all places Los Angeles. There are no excuses now. I know Zurdo wants to be a world champion, but he’s going to have to go through me first. I will successfully defend my world championship belt this March 30!”

Zurdo Ramirez: “I’m back! And I’m ready to become the first Mexican cruiserweight champion. When I made the move to this division, I had my eyes set on Arsen and I can’t wait to showcase my skills in the ring. I feel extremely comfortable at this weight class and will look to become the undisputed champion.”

Promoter Oscar De La Hoya: “There has never been a Mexican world champion in both the super middleweight and cruiserweight divisions, but ‘Zurdo’ has always been special, and I fully expect him to walk away with the WBA belt on March 30…with all of this motivation, I would expect a knockout — and a spectacular one.”

  • We might have the first cruiser champion with ramirez

    We never had a champion in this division and that’s the only one we missing to have at least one champ in every division

    We have a fight of the year in a cruiserweight with yaqui Lopez VS Carlos de leon

    • You are American in my view. You live in the US, and refuse to go back and improve Mexico because life is better for you in the U.S. You are an American through and through. Any claims of being Mexican are totally false and hypocritical.

        • But house and/or money keeps you in the US!! Hypocrite. YOU DO NOT REPRESENT MEXICO and stop commenting as such.

          • But my features don’t change
            So if a Chinese move to mexico he is gona look like mexican???? Lol

          • According to you then the every single person inUSA gotta go back to their country
            Lol is gonna be empty here except for native Indians lol

          • I was just at a boxing show on an Indian Reservation last week and one of the local tribal members told me his people were also immigrants, coming from Siberia ten thousand years ago.

          • Don’t get upset just because I outed you as a massive hypocrite. Go to Mexico, contribute to the economy, contribute to the fiscus, mix with real Mexicans, and support boxing there and then you can speak on behalf of Mexican boxing.

          • I had always wondered about the Andy Ruiz situation. He was born and raised in California, but was heralded as the first Mexican heavyweight champion after he knocked out Anthony Joshua in their first match. They even had a parade for Andy in Mexico. So, would Andy be considered Mexican or American or both?

  • The borikua Carlos de Leon is one of the greatest cruiserweight fighters along with Evander holyfield ,alexander usyk and David Haye

  • Holyfield VS usyk 8s one of my top 10 virtual fights ever….without no importance of order:

    1 pacman VS Valero
    2 Julio Cesar Chavez VS Salvador Sanchez
    3 holyfield VS usyk
    4 finito lopez VS Chiquita Gonzalez
    5 Ali VS Tyson fury
    6 Tyson VS Marciano
    7 Calzaghe VS ward
    8 Valero VS tank Davis
    9 Israel vazquez VS Marco Antonio Barrera
    10 Rafael Marquez VS Ruben Oliver’s

    Mention honorifica

    Canelo VS David benavides

  • Wouldn’t have thought Zurdo would have had a chance at winning this one not too long ago, but with Goulamirian virtually NEVER fighting, I might be leaning Zurdo.

  • Goulamirian is not an easy task, despite his inactivity, and is my favorite to win this fight. Of course, the dragon in this division is Opetaia.

    • Of course, it’s gonna be a hard fight for ramirez
      Ramirez is not even a cruiser weigh fighter
