🏆 Rafael Espinoza vs Robeisy Ramirez Prediction

The eagerly awaited rematch for the WBO Featherweight Championship between Rafael Espinoza and Robeisy Ramirez takes place in Phoenix on December 7th, with fans extremely excited about the prospect of what’s to come between these two world class fighters. The first fight was both the 2023 ESPN Upset of the Year and a 2023 Fight of the Year contender as Espinoza shocked the boxing world by beating the two-time Olympic Gold Medallist Ramirez by majority decision in December 2023.

During the first fight the then unheralded Mexican who was viewed as a heavy outsider threw almost three times the amount of punches Ramirez did, as volume became his greatest strength. The Mexican also landed over a hundred more punches on Ramirez during their first bout when compared with how many Ramirez landed on him.

Espinoza’s height and length, he is 6ft 1in compared to Ramirez who is 5ft 6in, certainly played its part in the first fight as Espinoza frustrated Ramirez in the early rounds, before the Cuban took control over the middle rounds. Most fans would then have expected Ramirez to end the challenge of Espinoza, but the 30-year-old somehow found another gear with the sheer volume from Espinoza taking its toll on the then champion, and by the end Espinoza was clearly the fresher fighter.

Ramirez will once again look to be the more consistent and solid fighter in the rematch, but if Espinoza can bring that ferocity and volume to December 7th, I think he can walk out of the Footprint Centre as the WBO champion once more and prove that the first fight was not a fluke.

⚡ Rafael Espinoza Overview

30-year-old Rafael Espinoza has had 25 fights as a professional after turning pro in 2013. The man from Guadalajara compiled a winning run of 23 fights over the course of the first 10 years of his professional career before earning his first World title fight against Robeisy Ramirez in December of 2023.

Espinoza shocked the then champion with a relentless display as he pulled off a seismic shock to land the WBO Featherweight Championship. He then returned to the ring in June 2024 where he defeated Sergio Chirino, dropping the challenger three times in the first, third and fourth rounds, before winning the fight by way of TKO in Round Four.

Espinoza has won 21 of his 25 fights by way of KO, with the remaining four victories coming by way of decisions.

⭐ Robeisy Ramirez Overview

Robeisy Ramirez was one of the most decorated amateur fighters in the world winning back-to-back Gold Medals at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics before he turned professional with Top Rank in May 2019. He lost his first professional fight against Adan Gonzales on August 10th, 2019, by split decision, but then went on a 13-fight winning run picking up the WBO Featherweight title in April 2023.

His 13-fight winning run was brought to a shuddering end though when he lost his title to the man he faces on December 7th Rafael Espinoza by a majority decision in December 2023. The Cuban bounced back from that defeat by beating Brandon Leon Benitez by stoppage in the seventh round when he returned to the ring in June 2024. That win and Espinoza’s victory over Sergio Chirino meant that the rematch for the WBO Featherweight Championship was set for December 7th.

Ramirez has won 9 of his 14 professional victories by KO, with the other 5 wins coming via decisions.

💥 Rafael Espinoza vs Robeisy Ramirez: The Inevitable Rematch

From the moment the ring announcer announced new WBO Featherweight champion Rafael Espinoza after their first fight on December 9th, 2023, a rematch has always looked likely between these two great fighters.

Both men returned to the ring within 1 week of each other back in June 2024 when Espinoza made the first defence of his title with a Fourth Round TKO of Sergio Chirino on June 21st. Just a week later, on June 29th, Ramirez took on Brandon Leon Benitez in a Featherweight clash in Miami. The Cuban won with a sparkling Seventh Round stoppage, flooring Benitez with a devastating uppercut.

Those wins set up this highly anticipated rematch between the two men, with Espinoza keen to show the world that his shock victory in the first fight was no fluke. Ramirez for his part is extremely motivated to win back the belt he lost last year to Espinoza, citing some personal struggles as to why he couldn’t get the win in the first fight.
