Rafael Espinoza (26-0, 22 KOs) defended his WBO featherweight title for the second time, this time against the man he won it from last year, Robeisy Ramirez, with a TKO6 on Saturday night in Phoenix, AZ. Ramirez waved off the fight himself just after the start of the sixth round due to double vision in his right eye.
Espinoza was coming on after a slow start in the first two rounds where Ramirez was able to have success with constant movement and rapid fire attacks on the inside before moving away. Espinoza stepped up the action in round three and slowed Ramirez’ progress the rest of the way.
