Marku defeats Ramirez for WBC silver

Unbeaten welterweight Florian “The Albanian King” Marku (12-0-1, 7 KOs) came off the canvas to win a somewhat tainted ten round unanimous decision over Miguel “Maquina” Parra Ramirez (21-3-1, 14 KOs) on Thursday night at the Air Albania Stadium in Tirana, Albania. Marku was credited with a dubious knockdown in round four, and further aided by a questionable point deduction against Ramirez in round seven as the fighters jostled in a clinch. Ramirez dropped Marku hard with a left hook in round eight and was pouring it on when the ref waved off the round 10 seconds early! In the end, Marku was declared the unanimous decision victor and claimed the WBC silver title.

  • This is on YouTube, and yes, all the “mistakes” made by the ref favored the hometown fighter Marku. What an amazing coincidence! The point deduction was bogus, and the ref cutting the round short when Ramirez was rallying seemed completely intentional. Probably wouldn’t have made a difference in the outcome, but they seemed to go out of their way to make sure Marku came out on top.

  • Based on the story, the home cooking was so obvious that you can hear Dick Vitale screaming “UNBELIEVABLE!!!”

    Again, with no commission, there is nowhere to take your protests.

  • Surely if you fight in Albania, you go in eyes wide open that you are not going to get a fair deal from the ref or judges. Hope he at least got paid………

  • Tim Bradley is is crazy. Comey won with the stick {Left) jab easily all night. Love Tim but he wrong.
