The Cuban will face the Mexican Rafael Espinoza
The Cuban ‘Train’, Robeisy Ramirezis aware that a resounding victory this Saturday against the Mexican Rafael ‘Divino’ Espinoza in Pembroke Pines, Florida, will allow him to project a dream 2024, including unification battles and a probable featherweight welcome to the Japanese boxing sensation, Naoya Inouewhom he dismissed as a ‘Manny Pacquiao’-style phenomenon.
In conversation with ESPN KNOCKOUTa few days after his stellar presentation escorted by the rising Puerto Rican Xander Zayas, Ramírez said that there is a lot at stake in this battle, including letting Top Rank know that the fans of Miami and its surroundings deserve at least one event of this magnitude at least once a year.
“Really at 126 (pounds) there are many fights, many fighters, there is ‘Venado’ (Luis Alberto López), the English, Inoue is coming who is rising and making history, but it is not that a 108 (pounds) is going to come and want invent with the greats,” said the Pluma monarch of the World Boxing Organization and double gold medalist in the Olympic Games.

He was insisted on the four-time champion Inoue, and the Cuban did not hesitate: “I’ll wait for it while drinking coffee… Really, believe me, there is only one (Manny) Pacquiao. He made his story legendary and it will not be repeated. He cannot be repeated as long as I exist in boxing. Maybe they’ll keep my mouth shut, because in the ring you never know what happens, but if we have to go to Tokyo, we’ll go. Where there is danger and challenge, look for me.”
Highlighted Robeisy like a dream to fight again in the south of Florida and do it for the first time as world champion, because he believes it is a good opportunity to let the world know that Miami and its people deserve more high-caliber boxing. “This December 9th will mark a before and after of what Miami is as a boxing venue,” he said.
