Former world champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (44-1, 30 KO’s) of Mazatlan, Mexico held a media workout Wednesday afternoon at Brickhouse Boxing Club in North Hollywood. Ramirez returns to the ring against seasoned tough veteran Philadelphia’s Gabriel Rosado (26-16-1, 15 KO’s) next Saturday night March 18 at the Pyramid in Long Beach, California live on DAZN. El “Zurdo” suffered his first defeat last November at the hands of WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol. Now he gets ready to get back into world title contention. Here is what he had to say.

Zurdo talked the talk and froze like a deer in headlights once he stepped into that ring.
I don’t know how much Rosado has left, but he likes being the underdog. If Zurdo fight like he did against Bivol, Rosado can win.
Zurdo is not going to fight Rosado the way he did Bivol. Everybody loves a big upset, but Rosado has no chance of winning this fight.
Gabriel rosado has been taking so much punishment and used as a punching bag for the new prospects! He is a warrior and gives all in the ring but, he needs to look out for his health and consider retirement after this.
Outclassed & outgunned by Bivol same as Canelo
Zurdo is the DEI poster child. A weight cheating can crusher who got a privileged shot by running his mouth to get said title shot, only to get embarrased by an elite 2 weight claases smaller. He’s irrelevant now.
