In the main event of a very entertaining card that took place at Bally's Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Rico Ramos went 10 tough rounds against a rugged and determined Alejandro Valdez. It was an entertaining fight and as soon as the bell rang, both fighters came out ready to impose their styles.
Valdez came on strong and put pressure on Ramos the whole night. While Ramos used his ring generalship and footwork to avoid the many punches Valdez was throwing throughout the fight. An accidental head butt in the 10th round opened a cut on Ramos' right eye and the referee stopped the fight so the doctor could examine it. The action resumed and Ramos finished the fight strong.
The judges scored the fight 97-93, 97-93, and 98-92 all in favor of Ramos who improves his record to 19-0. Rico Ramos commented on his fight, "He was a tough fight; I did not think it would be that tough. There was a lot of holds and head butts but I got no complaints. In the 10th round, I came back after the head butt because I did not want that to dictate my fight. It worked out good cause we worked hard, Valdez used his head good too and his strength, ultimately I was better."
Alejandro Valdez spoke briefly about the fight, "It was a competitive fight. I hit a lot and threw a lot of punches. I pressured him throughout the fight and I exposed him. He is still very green and protected."
