Robeisy Ramirez: record, next fight and profile →
NEW YORK – Abraham Nova didn’t waste a split second in calling out Emanuel Navarrete five months ago. The undefeated featherweight contender had just stopped William Encarnacion in the eighth round of a co-feature ESPN televised from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York. He then made the most of his post-fight camera time and publicly challenged the WBO 126-pound champion on live TV.
NEW YORK – Robeisy Ramirez has grown weary of questions regarding his stunning loss in his pro debut. The two-time Olympic gold medalist feels he has proven himself since that split-decision defeat to Adan Gonzales. Ramirez convincingly avenged his close loss to Gonzales in their six-round rematch four fights later and the Cuban southpaw has won nine straight fights since Gonzales dropped and upset him in a four-round fight that took place in August 2019.
NEW YORK – Abraham Nova isn’t impressed by Robeisy Ramirez’s nine-fight winning streak since the two-time Olympic gold medalist lost his pro debut.
