Boxing News: Zurdo-Rosado fight CANCELED » August 20, 2023 – Fight News
Saturday’s clash between Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez and “King” Gabe Rosado has been canceled after Ramirez came in very heavy and the California Commission nixed the fight. Zurdo was apparently 12 POUNDS over the light heavyweight limit.
“It upsets me to have to announce that the fight will no longer proceed,” said Rosado on social media. “This is a very unique situation. At the time to step on the scale, I was told Zurdo’s weight was at 187. We gave him a grace period of two hours to drop weight, coming in at 183. Still 8 pounds over our agreed weight. I am disappointed after doing my part, but I am thankful to everyone who supported me throughout this camp.”
The new main event will be JoJo Diaz against Mercito Gesta. Diaz was also overweight at 139.4 pounds, while Gesta was 137.2. That bout is still proceeding.
Venue: Walter Pyramid, Long Beach, California
Promoter: Golden Boy
TV: DAZN
This idiot Ramirez was 12 pounds overweight
Too bad…I know the outcome was very likely but I was looking forward to the fight nonetheless. I may change my plans as Diaz Gesta as the main even does not move the needle for me.
What’s the surprise?
It’s a typical Mexican tactic!
Fight night, refuse same day weigh in and come in waaaay overweight! It’s common with Mexican fighters.
They should allow the fight to go on but have a penalty for being that overweight. Rosado should have got to decide whether Zurdo had to tie one hand behind his back or tie his shoelaces together.
Now Ramirez can move up to cruiserweight, fight bums for decent money for the next three years, all the while screaming that the cruiser champs are ducking him. Sound familiar?
Apparently Zurdo kept his training camp at Burger King?? He was under 175 for Bivol, wth has he been doing the last FOUR months? Wow!
Jojo Diaz weighed in at 139+ for his fight… he didn’t look too good either actually.
I rarely get angry at fighters. I have only sparred a handful of times and have never been an active fighter. So I try not to judge….but come on….6 to 12 lbs over? People book vacations, arrange for time of work etc. They pay for and book flights and hotels! This may not seem like a big fight to most..but to someone it may have been the one they could afford or the one they fell into their life’s schedule to go. To someone …this may have been a big deal! Fans deserve better the that. Sure the card will go on…but the people bought tickets for Ramirez not Diaz. If it were illness or injury I would be much more sympathetic but fans deserve better then this. It is not right!
I appreciate the hell out of what they’re able to do. It’s the highest form of entertainment that I’ve ever known, but no one is above critique. Like you said, there’re probably a lot of people who spent a lot of money to see him fight and worked on promoting it and everything and he knew he wasn’t going to make weight. This did not come as a surprise, I’m sure! If he got sick yesterday or today and couldn’t cut weight, then I apologize, but until and unless that comes out as being the case – I’m going to assume that Zurdo trained hard for Bivol in November and then hardly trained for Rosado; after clearly enjoying his holidays.
Well stated…Pete great post!!! Just unprofessional…..simply stated….
What weight does Zurdo walk around at? Before he started to train for Bivol he looked like he was 220. I don’t know how he ever made it to Super Middleweight. Put a fork in him. He’s done
They had a photo at the first kickoff press conference for that fight, I remember. It was Bivol and Zurdo with Eddie Hearn in between them and Zurdo looked absolutely HUGE next to both of them. Bivol isn’t a small guy and Hearn is tall, but Zurdo looked massive by comparison.
Everything happens for a reason, good or bad. In my humble opinion Gabe Rosado is an accident waiting to happen. He takes too much punishment and is growing into a Mexican or Puerto Rican punching bag. After boxing career is over there may be thirty to forty years left of living. How will he function effectively among friends, fans, and family and such regular beatings? I know that some losing fighters survive and do well but for many others, it is not good to watch. Though I never met him. As a boxing fan, I love him and wish him well and hope he makes the right decision soon.
Omyyy. Terrible.
Should have had a bigger heavier opponent
Would’ve been a mismatch anyway. Zurdo much too big for Rosado. I can imagine we’ll see Zurdo at cruiserweight or heavyweight in the future.
Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez should be called “THE PIG” instead of Zurdo. He should be banned and fined heavily for at least 1 year and his purse should go to Rosado.
This had the makings of Gatti vs Gamache!! Luckily Gabe was sparred!!!! Disgusting!! IDK why Rosado would even entertain this fight???!!!???
I think commissions in the US should penalize fighters who came grossly overweight a la JBC and are recidivist, boxers, promoters, public in general are affected and when the fight are allowed to continue the overweight fighter + when rehydrate if that is not limit, then has an unfair advantage.
I understand we are all human and imperfect beings, but boxing is a contact sport when lives were/are/will be lost.
1- First offense a suspension of a year and all expenses of the card cancelled should be covered by the overweight fighter.
2- Second offense a suspension for two years and all expenses covered by overweight fighter.
3- Third offense suspended for life.
4- If fighter is overweight he/she should not be permitted to continue fighting at his current weight class.
5- From the first offense the fighter should be enrolled in a “list” of approved dieticians/nutritionist for the same duration of his penalty after suspension.
6- Provided there are no medical conditions to account for the overweight the aforementioned take precedent.
If any of the above are partly used/used in any form, I am pretty sure, we won’t have that many overweight fighters….
Kudos to female fighters for leading the way by making weight.
Maybe should expect fighters to make weight or be near a specific weight three weeks before the fight and then have a second weigh in on the day before or day of the fight…but agree with Tai that there must be a sanctioned penalty.,.
United States commissions ARENOTamerican!
They’re controlled and manned your corrupt “amigos” fro south of the border!
Good no one wanted to cared to watch this anyways.
Can you believe this loser’s fan base actually thought Bivol was ducking this clown? Too many casuals watch boxing now. Wurdo will have to move up to Cruiserweight within a year’s time, where he can fight C level cans, as the division is dead now. The pinnacle of his career was the WBO title at 168.
Hopefully Rosado got some kind of $ anyway. Or give him an easy payday
JoJo Diaz missed weight also. He misses weight every other fight.
This is his 3rd time missing weight. He missed weight in a title shot at 126 lbs and he lost his belt on the scales at 130 pounds before fighting to a draw! Disgraceful!
Zurdo and benavidez are light heavyweights fighting smaller fighters! Their bodies just can’t take the weight cut anymore. Zurdo vs benavidez should be next for this two heavys instead of looking for a fight with the smaller canelo!
When Zurdo entered the ring against Dominic Boesel last year, he outweighed his German opponent by 24 lbs! It looked like heavyweight vs. light heavyweight!!!
Zurdo should be fighting the guys in the article right below this one.
Promoters and commissioners should be aware of this situation long before it happens by checking the fighters weight status at least one week before. I assume that if Ramirez was 12 pounds over at the weight in, he could have been at least 25 pounds heavier one week ago.
Ramirez will have troubles with his weigh if he still keeping Andy Ruiz as his nutritionist
Someone screwed up and forgot to bring the rigged scale. I’m truly glad this fight didn’t happen. Rosado is on his last legs and going up in weight to fight a much larger man would’ve ended horribly.
And governing bodies are saying it’s ok?
What a joke. After Zurdo’s last fight he wasn’t even motivated to train for this one. And after GB kept babying him by giving him another easy fight. Please, nobody tell me that King GB is good just because he lands a lucky KO every 8-10 fights…
And I was still on the fence about JoJo until last fight he showed either his heart isn’t in it, or he just doesn’t have the skills. Either way, can’t trust him to do much going forward.
This is the kind of garbage that is so disrespectful to the fans. The people in the LBC area who might for example not have time to travel for fights but bought tickets and were looking forward to a local event. Now they have to settle for the scraps of a overweight co-main. Not the the main event was anything special, but you hope these guys will be professional and come in weight..
Oh, what’s that?.. another Canceled Boxing match? I guess it’s a good thing that I can watch an interesting UFC fight tonight. Will that be canceled too? Highly doubt it since it’s not Boxing
Zurdo saved Rosado and his team from themselves. This was a terrible matchup from day one. Rosado is a very tough dude, but 168 is where he belongs (or rather belonged). Zurdo is basically a Heavyweight.

Erin Blanchfield patiently awaits her next UFC assignment.
Although it’s not totally clear what that will be, Blanchfield (12-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) assumes an important matchup with Manon Fiorot (11-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) is likely. The two flyweight combatants have established themselves as top contenders in a division that awaits a championship rematch between champion Alexa Grasso and former champion Valentina Shevchenko while they both recover from injury.
“Yeah, it’s definitely stalling,” Blanchfield recently said during an online live stream for digital wallet platform HUMBL. “I feel like I’ve had a couple No. 1 contender fights now. But you know, I’m still pretty young and gained valuable experience in those fights. … Whether it’s an interim or not, I’ll beat (Fiorot), and then I should definitely get a title next.”
Although UFC CEO Dana White has indicated it’s next, no timeline has been revealed for Grasso (16-3-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC) vs. Shevchenko (23-4-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC). Shevchenko had hand surgery in mid-September. Coincidentally, Grasso underwent hand surgery in early October.
Should there be further delays, Blanchfield wouldn’t mind seeing an interim title implemented. She’s healthy and ready to go, following a slight nasal fracture suffered in a unanimous decision win over Taila Santos in August.
“I haven’t been told about that yet,” Blanchfield said. I would definitely push for that. That’s something I’d definitely be interested in. I’m not sure when Valentina and Alexa are going to be ready to fight again. I know I think they’re on a similar timeline in their recovery. I would hope that if it ends up being longer, they’d have me and Manon fight for an interim.”

SACRAMENTO COUNTY – Two men died after they were shot outside of a bar in Sacramento County early Sunday morning, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said.
Deputies responded to Sacto By Night at 7121 Governors Circle at about 1:45 a.m.
A group of people who were leaving the bar got into a fight outside, leading to a shooting, deputies said.
The victims, who were two men, died at the scene, deputies said. One of them was the owner of the bar.
Investigators with the sheriff’s office believe a group of gang members who initially refused to leave the nightclub at closing is at the center of the incident. Those gang members apparently got involved in a fight in the parking lot, investigators said, with the suspected shooter being one of those gang members.
Witnesses described a white vehicle that took off from the scene. Deputies said the CHP located a vehicle matching the description and detained four people from that vehicle.
The people detained have since been identified as being allegedly involved in the shooting. Several guns have been recovered.
According to the sheriff’s office, the names of the suspects will be released once homicide and related charges are filed.

Rootstock Software hosts premier panel of contrarians to discuss the role of AI in optimizing demand, supply chain, and production decisions
SAN RAMON, Calif., November 21, 2023–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Rootstock Software, a recognized leader in the Manufacturing Cloud ERP space, is excited to announce its upcoming webinar, "AI Fight Club: A Debate on AI’s Real Value in Manufacturing," on Thursday, December 7, 11:00 am PT / 2:00 pm ET. This event promises to be an energetic discussion on the potential and practical applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in manufacturing.
AI technology vendors often promise revolutionary changes to manufacturing operations and traditional processes. This webinar offers a practical look at where manufacturers have seen true ROI from AI, what types of AI are currently delivering value, and what strategies they’re using to lay a foundation for success.
The panel of experts includes Michael Wind, Founder and Partner at Perpetua Advisors; Sam Gupta, Principal Consultant at ElevatIQ; and Raj Badarinath, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at Rootstock Software. They’ll engage in a lively exchange and review insights from Rootstock’s recent "State of AI in Manufacturing Survey."
"With all of the hype around AI, manufacturers are approaching it with a healthy dose of skepticism," said Raj Badarinath. "Our panel will help them discern extravagant claims from real-world benefits. My role is to steer our panelists in a dynamic and engaging discussion, but also have them share specific examples and use cases, which will resonate with manufacturers."
"At Perpetua Advisors, we believe all layers of business are critical to the success of technology, including systems, data, and people," said Michael Wind. "AI is not something manufacturers can just drop into their operations and expect instant ROI. In the webinar, we’ll discuss how AI is dependent on many facets of a business – like frontend and backend processes. Capabilities must fit well with existing infrastructure, and quality of data is crucial. In the end, AI’s most practical use, especially in manufacturing, is not to replace human effort but to augment it to optimize efficiency and decision-making."
Sam Gupta weighed in on his perspective for the panel: "At ElevatIQ, we approach technology from an agnostic point of view, focusing on what will truly drive success for customers. With regard to AI and ERP solutions, manufacturers are clamoring for greater understanding. My role is akin to a ‘technological therapist,’ helping clients navigate the market and identify solutions aligned with their comfort and technical maturity. I look forward to challenging the predominant AI narratives and urging attendees to focus on solutions that address tangible business problems rather than getting swept up in the latest trends. It’s also crucial to have a candid conversation about the actual readiness and relevance of AI in the manufacturing sector, which, in many cases, is still grappling with the basics of enterprise solution adoption and data management."

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway says the billionaire Haslam family tried to bribe at least 15 executives at the Pilot truck stop chain with millions of dollars to get them to inflate the company’s profits this year because that would force Berkshire to pay more for the Haslams’ remaining 20% stake in the company. The Berkshire claim in a counter lawsuit filed this week comes after the Haslam family — which includes Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and former Tennessee governor Bill Haslam — accused Berkshire of trying to understate Pilot’s earnings this year by changing its accounting practices.
