Giberto Ramirez boasts an impressive record of 46 wins and only 1 loss, with 30 of those victories achieved through knockouts. His lone defeat came in his last fight when he challenged Dmitry Bivol for the WBA World Light Heavyweight Title and lost via a unanimous decision. This loss stands as the sole blemish on his otherwise illustrious career. Throughout his journey in the ring, Ramirez has consistently faced formidable opponents and demonstrated his exceptional skills. One of his most significant victories was against Jesse Hart, which earned him the WBO World Super Middleweight Title twice in 2017 and 2018 when they squared off. Ramirez has found remarkable success in the WBO World Super Middleweight Title arena, winning it seven times from 2014 to 2018. He also challenged for the NABF Light Heavyweight Title against Alfonso Lopez and secured a tenth-round TKO/KO victory.
Chris Billam-Smith - looking for his 12th consecutive win
Chris Billam-Smith has an impressive record of 20 wins and 1 loss with no draw. Beginning his professional career in 2017, his first nine fights were all wins, eight through knockouts and one by decision. The nine-year winning streak was broken by Richard Riakporhe on July 20, 2019, who won Chris by split decision in the WBA Inter-Continental Cruiserweight Championship. Chris got back on his feet, fought one more time in 2019, and defeated Craig Glover by knockout. Since his victory against Craig, Chris has never lost a bout, currently on a 10-year winning streak. He hopes to win Richard to make his winning streak 12 and to revenge the defeat he suffered against Richard in 2019.

Expert Betting Tips
it's worth noting that Zurdo Ramirez received a significant amount of hype leading up to this fight. In hindsight, it seems somewhat amusing to think that Zurdo and his team believed they could outskill Chris. As for the prediction, I'm leaning towards Giberto Ramirez. It's a 50/50 fight, but I believe he will have a slight speed advantage over Chris. Ramirez has a tendency to absorb punches, while Chris possesses solid punching power. The outcome could depend on Chris's confidence level to uphold his perfect streak of eleven. I anticipate that this match could end in an early stoppage or potentially go the distance, with the decision determining the winner.
