By Jake Donovan - Hugo Ruiz (30-1, 27KO) makes the fourth defense of an interim bantamweight belt as he faces Jean Sampson (12-1, 7KO) later this evening in Baja California, Mexico.
Ruiz has won 21 straight heading into this bout, as the Mexican knockout artist continues to campaign for a crack at Koki Kameda. Meanwhile, Sampson fights in Mexico for the first time in his career, having just fought outside of his native Nicaragua just once prior to ths bout.
A positive sign for Sampson's road trip came in the co-feature, as his countryman Rene Gonzalez pulled off a considerable upset with a 2nd round knockout of previously unbeaten Abdiel Ramirez. A left hook put Ramirez (14-1-1, 13KO) on queer street, with a follow-up right hand prompting the referee to rescue the fallen lightweight prospect. [Click Here To Read More]
