Jesus Ramos Dominates Jeison Rosario in One-Sided Victory

Jesus Ramos delivered a dominant performance to stop Jeison Rosario in the opening bout of the T-Mobile Arena main card in Las Vegas last night. This highly anticipated matchup kicked off a four-fight card, with the David Benavidez vs David Morrell grudge match topping the event. While fans were eagerly awaiting the headline bout, Ramos and Rosario set the stage with a one-sided middleweight contest that had all eyes on the rising star, Ramos.

At just 23 years old, Ramos (22-1, 18 KOs) looked every bit the future contender, while Jeison Rosario, despite being a former unified super welterweight champion, appeared sluggish and outmatched. Although Rosario won’t celebrate his 30th birthday until April, he seemed like a much older fighter, struggling to respond to the combinations and relentless attack from Ramos.

Ramos’ Strategy and Execution: Body Work and Precision

After a disputed loss to Erickson Lubin in September 2023, Ramos rebounded with back-to-back wins, and last night, he reminded everyone of his ability to execute his game plan flawlessly. From the outset, Ramos adopted a strategy of attacking Rosario’s body, but it was a perfectly timed one-two punch to the head in the seventh round that dropped Rosario to the canvas. The former champion’s legs buckled instantly, and though he managed to get back on his feet, the warning from referee Robert Hoyle signaled that the end was near. “You gotta show me something,” Hoyle told Rosario, as the momentum clearly swung in Ramos’ favor.

Ramos’ Power Shines in the TKO Victory

By the eighth round, it was clear that Ramos had control of the fight. He continued to land a mix of heavy body shots and well-placed head punches that further weakened Rosario. With 42 seconds left in the round, a flurry of punches forced the referee to step in and stop the contest, calling it a technical knockout (TKO). Rosario was unable to defend himself, and the referee’s decision to wave off the fight came as a result of Ramos’ relentless pressure.

“I was hoping to get a knockout instead of a TKO,” Ramos reflected after the fight. “I like to throw a lot of body punches; it’s kinda my style. He was a lot bigger, and it was my first time at 160lbs, so I wanted to take my time with it.”

Looking Ahead: Ramos’ Future in the 154lb Division

Despite his impressive victory at middleweight, Ramos has his sights set on a return to the 154lb division. He expressed his desire to challenge the best in the super welterweight class, noting that it’s a division full of talent and exciting matchups. With his continued success and explosive punching power, Ramos is positioning himself as a serious threat to some of the top names in boxing.

The future looks bright for Jesus Ramos, as he continues to rise through the ranks. Fans are eagerly anticipating what’s next for the young fighter, and with his focus on the best in the 154lb division, the boxing world will be watching closely as he sets his sights on bigger challenges.
