Madison Square Garden Theatre, New York, USA. In the second main event of the show, in an intriguing confrontation in the featherweight limit (up to 57.2 kg), two-time Olympic champion from Cuba Robeysi Ramirez (10-1, 6 KOs) brightly knocked out Puerto Rican Abraham Nova (21-1, 15 KOs).
Nova relied on the advantage in anthropometry and boxed from a long distance. Left-hander Ramirez was slowly looking for ways to infighting, he scored one successful attack in the opening round. Nova is much more active, but inferior to the opponent in manual speed and (especially) in efficiency – he mainly shot at the block.

Ramirez was great at failing his opponent, intercepting attacks, confusing the angles of attacks, shocking his opponent at the end of the 3rd round.
