The main event tonight is a contest for the NABF Light Heavyweight Championship, with Alfonso “El Tigre” Lopez III defending the belt against challenger Gilberto “Zurdo de Oro” Ramirez. Ramirez, a southpaw, is the former WBO Super Middleweight Champion and remains undefeated with a record of 40 wins. He vacated the WBO belt after moving up to light heavyweight last year; this will be Zurdo’s second fight at this weight class.
Ramirez will face a serious opponent in Lopez. El Tigre boasts a record of 32 wins (25 by KO) and only three losses and currently holds four light heavyweight titles. Although the 38-year-old boxing champion is getting on in years, Lopez has not lost a fight since 2012 and will be doing his ring walk tonight following a string of 10 victories. With more experience at light heavyweight and a higher percentage of wins by knockout, Lopez could be poised to deal Ramirez his first defeat — but it will be an uphill battle with the 29-year-old southpaw being the favorite to win.
The Gilberto Ramirez vs. Alfonso Lopez title bout event starts tonight at 8 p.m. ET. This is a pay-per-view showing that will air exclusively on FITE.TV, so now’s the time to sign up for FITE.TV and grab the PPV package for $25.
