Junior welterweight Jose Ramirez, a 2012 U.S. Olympian and one of boxings top prospects, will dramatically increase the level of his opposition in his next fight.Ramirez will defend his regional belt against Gabriel Tito Bracero in a 10-round bout on Dec. 2 that will headline a Solo Boxeo card on Spanish-language network UniMas, Top Rank announced Tuesday. The fight will take place at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California, where Ramirez, who is from nearby Avenal, California, is a big draw.The last time the 24-year-old Ramirez (18-0, 13 KOs) boxed at the Save Mart Center he sold out the 13,100-seat arena in what?was an eight-round decision win against Johnny Garcia in December 2015, also in a Solo Boxeo main event.?As Jose moves up the ladder to a world championship fight, his opponents will be getting better and the fights will be more difficult, Top Rank chairman Bob Arum said. But Top Rank believes Jose Ramirez will win a world title and bring it home to the Central Valley. To do that, he first has to get past Gabriel Bracero.Bracero (24-3, 5 KOs), 35, of Brooklyn, New York, has vast professional experience and has never has been stopped in any of his defeats, to former junior welterweight world titleholder DeMarcus Chop Chop Corley in 2012, to undefeated Olympic gold medalist and welterweight contender Felix Diaz in 2015, and to former two-division world titleholder and Brooklyn rival Paulie Malignaggi in his most recent fight on July 30.In the fight before losing to Malignaggi, Bracero scored a sensational knockout of the year contender against Danny OConnor in the first round last October.Gabes a much better fighter than a lot of people give him credit for, said Lou DiBella, his promoter. He has failed when hes stepped up but he had his moments against Diaz and Malignaggi. Hes a tough guy. Ramirez is a good fighter but hes untested. This is a test for the kid. Its going to be a good scrap. Its a good opportunity for Gabe and for the kid to test himself against a real opponent.The fight also marked the first time in a while that DiBella and Arum have made a deal together.Im happy that Bob and I were able to do things together, DiBella said. Bob and I talk regularly again and I think its good we can do some smaller stuff together, and I hope its a precursor to doing some bigger stuff together.Vapormax Plus Wholesale .
