Zurdo Ramirez made a strong debut with Golden Boy Promotions tonight on DAZN, dropping veteran Sullivan Barrera three times and scoring a fourth round stoppage win, as he looks forward now and targets world titles at light heavyweight.
Ramirez (42-0, 28 KO) and Barrera (22-4, 14 KO) looked evenly matched enough for the first two rounds, and Barrera was even doing pretty well in the third before he was caught with a wonderful body shot and went to the canvas.
The 39-year-old Cuban did survive that round, but Zurdo put him down two more times in the fourth, and Barrera had nothing left, referee Thomas Taylor stepping in to stop the fight at 1:38 with people hitting the apron in Barrera’s corner, too.
