Mexican fighter Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramírez returns to the ring after seven months to defend his WBO and WBA cruiserweight world titles against Cuban Yuniel Dorticos, known as the ‘Knockout King.’
This is one of the most important fights on the June 28 card and could even steal the spotlight from the night’s main event: the clash between Jake Paul and Julio César Chávez Jr.
Ramírez and Dorticos are opposites in the ring—one is known for his technical skill, the other for his raw power.
In other words, the California crowd will witness a bout where skill and strength collide, and intensity could be the deciding factor in who walks away with both belts.

Why bet on Gilberto Ramírez?
Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramírez is considered to be the best cruiserweight boxer in the world by many experts—and his career backs that up.
He started his professional career in 2009 and has achieved 47 victories, 30 of which were by knockout, with only one defeat.
That lone loss came in 2022, in Abu Dhabi, against Dmitrii Bivol, a boxing powerhouse, who beat him by unanimous decision after 12 rounds.
Ramírez unified the WBO title with the WBA belt after defeating Chris Billam-Smith in November of last year. Before that, he beat Arsen Goulamirian in March 2024.
Notably, he is the only Mexican boxer to win a world title in both the super middleweight and cruiserweight divisions.
His southpaw stance makes him a tough matchup for orthodox fighters. He combines solid technique with considerable punching power.
His footwork is outstanding, allowing him to control distance and evade opponents’ punches. Additionally, he has shown a great ability to adapt to the styles of his opponents.
Why bet on Yuniel Dorticos?
Cuban boxer Yuniel Dorticos has a golden opportunity in California to reclaim the cruiserweight throne, aiming to become world champion once again in this division.
The fight against ‘Zurdo’ Ramírez won’t be easy, but if there’s one thing the 39-year-old Caribbean fighter has proven, it’s that he can win any battle.
His record shows 27 wins, with 25 coming by knockout, and only two losses—a very high KO percentage that justifies the two nicknames he carries: ‘The KO Doctor’ and ‘The King of the KO.’
In 2020, Dorticos lost to Mairis Bredis in Germany. Since then, he’s beaten Jesse Bryan, Deibis Berrocal, and Alan Campa—all by knockout.
His last win that didn’t come by KO was in 2018 when he defeated Mateusz Masternak.
His main traits as a fighter, aside from his punching power, are his explosiveness and ability to put together strong combinations—usually finishing with the strength of his right hand.
But that same aggressiveness can also be a weakness, as it sometimes leads him to drop his guard.
