Teofimo Lopez defended his WBO and Ring Magazine junior welterweight world titles with a unanimous decision win over Canadian contender Steve Claggett in Miami on Saturday night. Claggett , who was coming off a nine-fight winning streak, charged at Lopez from the opening bell. The 35-year-old had Lopez against the ropes for much of the fight, where he landed short punches around The Takeover's shoulder roll defence.
Benitez tried to work on the inside, but Ramirez consistently created space for combinations either by pushing him off or using his feet. In round seven, the two-time Olympic gold medallist began to move even more, touching Benitez with light punches. He then connected a devastating left uppercut that dropped Benitez, who did not recover, forcing the referee to end the fight at 2:46. Ramirez said: 'It's no secret that Ismael Salas is one of the best strategists in the world.
