Mexican junior middleweight Jesus Ramos Jr. (22-1) will face Guido Emmanuel Schramm (16-3-2) in a ten-round showdown as the chief support on Premier Boxing Champion's Prime Video show on Saturday, March 22nd at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Ramos was originally scheduled to face Kevin Salgado, but Salgado withdrew from the fight last week. The main event will see unified WBC / WBO junior middlewight champion Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora squaring off against Chordale Booker. The Prime Video broadcast will begin at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Here is what Ramos and Schramm had to say at Thursday's final press conference:
JESUS RAMOS JR.
“I’m just excited to be back and blessed to have this opportunity. I’m looking to stay active this whole year and put on big fights for the fans.
“Activity is really important and it’s overlooked a lot in boxing. The greats would fight often back in the day and that’s something I’m trying to bring back. I’m always in the gym and staying ready. It’s gonna make a big difference.
“The defeat against Erickson Lubin only made me better. I grew a lot and I learned. It was a blessing in disguise in a way and I’m demonstrating that in each fight. I’m showing new wrinkles and displaying my whole arsenal.
“I definitely want the winner of the main event. I’m glad I’m up here next to him so I can really see how tall Fundora is. But I’m definitely not overlooking Schramm, and of course Fundora has a really tough opponent as well. If we both take care of our jobs on Saturday night, we’ll see what happens next.
“If you thought I looked sharp on February 1st [when he stopped ex-champ Jeison Rosario], I’m going to be even sharper on Saturday night and put on a great performance.”
GUIDO EMMANUEL SCHRAMM
“I want everyone to know that I’m coming to win on Saturday night. I’m grateful to my team for making this possible. I had a great training camp and I’m more than ready to come out with my hand raised.
“I took this fight because I’m ready. I like to be challenged and I’m made for these kinds of moments. I want to shine under the bright lights.
“I have a great opponent in Jesus Ramos Jr., but I’m made to be a champion and I want to prove that to everyone on Saturday night.
“I was training in Los Angeles when I got offered this fight. I was ready from the get go. I said yes right away and I was ready to get it on.
“I’m coming out there to win no matter what. I’ll be ready for whatever happens in the ring and do whatever it takes to get the win.”
