Gilberto Ramirez vs. Gabriel Rosado & Joseph Diaz Vs. Mercito Gesta On March 18 In Long Beach, CA


Via Knitting Ambrosio: Gilberto Ramirez takes on Gabriel Rosado in the main game, while Joseph ‘JoJo’ Diaz takes on laner Mercito Gesta in the main support match during the Golden Boy Promotion on DAZN at Walter Pyramid in Long Beach, California. The event begins streaming on DAZN at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Former WBO super-middleweight champion Ramirez (44-1, 30 KOs) is trying to recover from a one-way loss to WBA lightweight champion Dmitry Bivol last November in Abu Dhabi.

Ramirez looked completely unprepared and overwhelmed in his fight against the undefeated and never competitive Bivol from a distance.

Why does Zurdo Ramirez play middleweight?

Interestingly, instead of coming back from a loss to a light heavyweight, 31-year-old Ramirez will face 37-year-old middleweight Rosado (26-16-1, 15 KOs), who is in this point in his career. no longer a major player at 160.

Rosado has lost her last three fights and seems to have done a good job as a boxer. Golden Boy choosing to have Ramirez take on Rosado for the main event on DAZN suggests a few things.

Firstly, they don’t seem to have much confidence in Ramirez’s ability to beat his opponents at 175 after the way he was dominated by Bivol, and second, they are providing DAZN with much-needed content, as a lot of fans on social media are saying that they are canceling their subscription with the streaming giant after receiving an email yesterday saying that the annual price has increased drastically.

How many fans will be interested enough to see Ramirez fight Rosado in an obviously inappropriate match is anyone’s guess, but based on the reaction, it wasn’t expected much.

Ramirez was supposed to fight an opponent to bounce back from the loss and get into a match that boxing fans would be interested in signing up with DAZN to follow him. ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez should be fighting the likes of Craig Richards, Lyndon Arthur, Anthony Yarde, Joe Smith Jr or Joshua Buatsi.

Again, it seems that Ramirez’s supporters lack confidence in him. Thus, he was confronted by an old middleweight boxer in Rosado, who entered the bout with three consecutive losses.

JoJo Diaz takes a confidence booster

In the main support bout, struggling 30-year-old lightweight Joseph ‘JoJo’ Diaz (32-3-1, 15 KOs) will battle rider Mercito Gesta (33-3-3, 17 KOs) ) in 12 rounds.

This is another deeply troubling fight, as Diaz should have fought a better opponent than this, even though he lost one-sidedly to William Zepeda in 12 decisive innings last October. Diaz is still more than good enough to beat the competition, but he clearly needs to drop to 130 or 126 because he’s too small and weak for 135 lb.

Money is better in lightweight, but what if Diaz lacks the size and power to win in that weight class? Diaz will ruin his career and will no longer be required as a B-ranking opponent for the top dogs in lightweight.

“I’m ready to come back and show my fans that I still have what it takes to come out on top,” said Joseph “JoJo” Diaz, Jr. speak. “Mercito Gesta is not an easy opponent to play, but I’m sure we’ll put on a great show on March 18. Thanks to Golden Boy and my manager, Rick Mirigian.”
