Helyi idő szerint pénteken éjszaka Los Angelesben vívta aktuális mérkőzését a korábbi WBO nagyközépsúlyú világbajnok Gilberto Ramirez, a veretlen mexikói öklöző riválisa pedig egy 12 menetesre kiírt félnehézsúlyú összecsapáson a kubai Sullivan Barrera volt. A találkozó lassú nyitó menetekkel indult, majd a harmadik felvonásban Ramirez egy testütéssel padlóztatta ellenfelét. Barrera ekkor még folytatta a küzdelmet, azonban a 4. etapban még két alkalommal számolni kellett a karibi bokszolóra, akit – párhuzamosan a segédei jelzésével, akik már szintén véget akartak vetni védencük szenvedésének – le is lépte
Joseph Diaz Jr. beats Javier Fortuna, delivers career performance in lightweight debut
He just might be right.
Diaz delivered the most impressive performance of his career Friday in Los Angeles, scoring a unanimous decision over Javier Fortuna to claim the vacant WBC interim lightweight title.
Scores were 117-110, 116-111 and 115-112. ESPN also scored it 115-112.
In his lightweight debut, Diaz (32-1-1, 15 KOs) showed he could absorb heavy shots from a dangerous puncher and carry his own power, too. He wobbled Fortuna toward the end of the 10th round of a fight that featured some brutal exchanges on the inside, often waged at a frenetic pace.

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.
