Ghanaian boxer, Habib ‘Wild Hurricane’ Ahmed suffered a disappointing loss to his Mexican counterpart, Gilberto Ramirez on Saturday night in the WBO super middleweight title bout.<\/p>\n
Ramirez dominated Habib throughout the fight and stopped him in round 6 when Habib’s corner threw in the towel.<\/p>\n
The bout, at Corpus Christi, Texas-USA saw Ramirez winning all six rounds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ahmed (25-1-1, 17 KO),\u00a0came in as an ‘unknown’ professional with his opponent while Ramirez (37-0, 25 KO) had many vouching for him due to past performances.<\/p>\n
Analysts say the fight proved Ahmed was an overmatched title challenger to Ramirez.<\/p>\n
Ramirez would potentially go to Australia to fight Rohan Murdock in the fall, then maybe return for a December fight.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This was Habib Ahmed’s first professional loss, who started his boxing career in 2011. All his previous 26 bouts were in Ghana.<\/p>\n
26-year-old Ramirez has held the WBO super middleweight title since 2016, and is the first Mexican boxer to win a major world title in that weight class.<\/p>\n
