WBC/WBA Lightweight Championship


Gym mates and friends with more than 160 professional fights between them collide when undefeated WBA Lightweight Champion Julio Cesar Chavez attempts to unify titles with WBC Champion Jose Luis Ramirez. After some terrific exchanges in the opening rounds, Chavez catches Ramirez with a sharp counter right hand in the fourth that buckles the WBA Champion's knees and nearly makes his glove touch the canvas. From there, Chavez starts to pull away by punishing Ramirez with constant right hands. After a clash of heads in the eleventh round, Referee Richard Steele has to stop the fight due to a bad cut on Ramirez and dock Chavez a point according to the bizarre WBC rules. To no surprise, Chavez wins a technical decision to annex the WBA title.
