Time To Cancel Zzzurdo For Good |
|
By William Trillo
When Oscar De La Hoya said of his newly found “Meal
Ticket”, Zzzurdo Ramirezzz, “Ramirez is on his way up,
Ramirez is hungry”, The Golden Boy wasn’t kidding. On
Friday afternoon we found out Zzurdo was so hungry he
was on his way up to a whopping 183 pounds. That’s a
full eight pounds over the contracted weight for his
match with Gabe Rosado. As such, the fight has been
cancelled. There is simply no excuse for this.

Cloutier’s Canada Corner
Jean Pascal Loses Decision To Michael Effert |
|
By Daniel Cloutier
MONTRÉAL - The Montrealer light heavyweight (175 pounds)
Jean Pascal suffered his seventh loss Thursday evening
at Place Laval, losing by unanimous decision in 10
rounds against the German Michael Effert.
Effert (12-1-0) used this excellent technique to
dominate the Montrealer in almost every rounds. “I got
the feeling that Pascal would be more aggressive than
me, but it did not happen in this fight”, said Effert
after the bout. “I dominated clearly eight of the 10
rounds of the bout. I am younger than Pascal. I think
that this situation played for me. Before the bout I was
extremely confident to win.”

The Truth? |

By William Trillo
The truth is, up until Sunday afternoon I have never had
the slightest interest in watching any fight that
featured Ru Paul, Jake Paul or whatever that other one’s
name is. But because of my morbid curiosity and hope
that Paul would finally be exposed for the Charlatan
that he is, the truth is I streamed his fight, (volume
down), against Tommy Fury that was aptly named, “The
Truth.” Let the record reflect the truth that there was
no way I was gonna shell out the $49 PPV fee the
promoters demanded. The truth is I found an illegal
stream (shhh). I’m happy to report that everything I
knew and believed was true. Paul is at best a D level

streaming journey I was hit with a few other truths that
I would like to share with you now.

Nestor Bravo: "Valtierra
Is Tough &
Hungry But I’m Ready To Dominate" |
|
Unbeaten junior
welterweight Nestor Bravo could easily look beyond his
fight against Jair Valtierra, 16-2 (8 KO’s), Saturday
evening at the Caribe Royale in Orlando.
The current NABO champion, Bravo’s ranked #10 in the
world by the WBO and has a perfect record of 21-0 with
15 knockouts. It’s not that Bravo doesn’t envision
becoming a world champion in the near future but rather
that he recognizes the importance of winning
impressively against a young and hungry opponent.

Thinking about the atmosphere, thinking about the great

beating Lucian Bute, Leigh Wood beating Michael Conlan.
Honestly on Saturday night I think we're going to get
the best we've ever seen in this city."

Mauricio Lara has warned
Leigh Wood that if he switches off during their WBA
Featherweight World Title showdown this Saturday
February 18 at the Motorpoint Arena Nottingham, shown
live worldwide on DAZN (excluding Australia and New

his first World Title shot following his brilliant win
over ‘The Leeds Warrior’ Josh Warrington back in
February 2021 – a win that would have seen him crowned
the new IBF 126lbs king if Warrington had not vacated
his title a month prior to their behind closed doors
