“Scrappy Time” returns this Saturday World Super Flyweight Contender John “Scrappy” Ramirez seeking Redemption with added experience

PhilBoxing.com




LOS ANGELES (December 9, 2024, 2024) – Fighting this Saturday night for the first time since he suffered the initial loss of his pro career last April, super flyweight contender John “Scrappy” Ramirez (13-1, 9 KOs) will be seeking redemption in a 10-round match versus undefeated Ephraim Bui (10-0, 8 KOs).

Ramirez vs. Bui is on a Golden Boy-show headlined by Alexis Rocha vs. Raul Curiel, streaming live on DAZN from Toyota Arena in Ontario, California.

On his mercurial rise in boxing, despite a limited amateur career and including numerous bouts during Covid-19, the fast-rising, No. 1 ranked “Scrappy” lost a 12-round decision in Brooklyn to veteran Fernando David Jimenez (16-1, 5-1, 11 KOs) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Flyweight title.

It was simply a case of too much, too soon for Ramirez, who now fully comprehends the maturation process in pro boxing.

“I’m a much more seasoned fighter now,” Ramirez said. “I’ve been around the block, going 12-rounds in my last fight, and I’m more patient and calculated, knowing how to set things up. I know I have the skills to be world champion, but I lacked experience that I now have. I know what to expect and I just need to follow the game plan and be me. I got it!

“The Jimenez fight is in the past. I’m a firm believer in learning from situations. I’ve played other sports and lost. In a way, it is a blessing for me. I have a great team behind me and good support. I’ve learned from the loss but I’m not thinking about that fight anymore. I got my lesson and learned from it for bigger and better things that are coming for me.”

A gym rat, Ramirez isn’t concerned about his eight-months out of the ring, largely because he continued working hard to additionally develop his craft, barely taking a break.

“It’s a problem if you just sit and aren’t active,” WBA No. 7 rated Ramirez spoke about his inactivity, “but I used the time to improve and for personal growth. I used it wisely to better my craft. I’m optimistic; I’m going to end the year with a bang. I always look at the light through the dark. I have everything it takes to become world champion.”

“Scrappy” Ramirez is a charter member of 3 Point Management (3 PM), which has a growing stable of gifted boxers including WBA & WBO Cruiserweight World Champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (47-1, 30 KOs), WBA No. 7-rated super middleweight Darius “DFG” Fulgham (13-0, 11 KOs), former WBA Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Champion Kareem “Supreme” Hackett (12-1, 6 KOs), and German junior welterweight Simon “Saucy” Vollmer (6-0, 2 KOs).
