Ghanaian boxer, Richard Commey suffered an 11th round TKO defeat to Mexico’s Jose Ramirez in a WBC Junior Welterweight eliminator at the Save Mart Arena in Fresno, California Saturday night.
After a fiery start to the fight in which the two boxers traded punches, Ramirez dominated in the latter stages, targeting Commey’s body and in the fateful round, the Mexican scored two knockdowns, the second of which produced a full ten count after the Ghanaian took a knee.
The loss left Commey winless in his last three starts as he fell to 30-5-1 (27KOs). His last victory came in February 2021 when he stopped Jackson Marinez in the sixth round. Since then have come a lopsided loss to Vasiliy Lomachenko, a draw with Pedraza and now the second stoppage defeat of his career.
Ramirez had plenty to prove as the main event came after he twice turned down a shot to fight for his old WBC junior welterweight title including a rightly criticized withdrawal from an ordered fight with defending champ Regis Prograis.
