Former world champion and light heavyweight contender Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (42-0, 28 KOs) and his opponent Yunieski “The Monster” Gonzalez (21-3, 17 KOs) hosted their final press conference today ahead of their 12-round clash on Saturday live on DAZN. The fighters are scheduled to fight for the WBA light heavyweight title eliminator at AT&T Center in San Antonio, TX.
Zurdo Ramirez: “Gonzalez is a good challenge for me. This is an eliminator fight. I have been working so hard to get to the world title and I am ready to go through Yunieski Gonzalez to get there. I want the people to know me, and I enjoy, and want to be with the people. I was a little insecure before, but not anymore.”
Yunieski Gonzalez: “I was surprised Zurdo wanted to fight me. I am happy and grateful for the opportunity as I know Zurdo Ramirez, and what a fight with him can offer me.”
This should be a good fight for as long as it lasts. But if Canelo were to fight Zurdo or Benavidez? Who would you rather Canelo fight? I say Benavidez.
