The event was streamed live, exclusively on DAZN. “I feel great about my performance,” said Zurdo Ramirez.
“As I said, I would put on a spectacular show here in LA. I got the victory via knock-out. I was expecting his best; we were expecting heavy shots. I trained way too hard for this position, and no one will take it from me. I used my distance more, and I attacked the body more. I know my last fight was tough, but I was really prepared for this one. I ate more tacos for this fight. I feel this is my natural weight. Everyone knows I want Bivol. He needs to stop running and sign the contract. I’m coming for you and that belt. I deserve that fight. I think I can beat him since I’m bigger, stronger, and smarter.”
“I thought I would hit him more with my jab,” said Domonic Boesel.
“I came confidently to this fight. He got me in the liver with the first punch. I couldn’t do much when I got hit with the body shot.”
