Ramirez vs Ahmed: Live streaming results and round by round coverage

Tonight at 10:15 pm ET on ESPN, Gilberto Ramirez and Jerwin Ancajas return to make defenses of their world titles.

In the main event, Ramirez (36-0, 24 KO) will defend his WBO super middleweight world title against Ghana’s Habib Ahmed (25-0-1, 17 KO). Ahmed has never fought outside of his home country and has never fought at this level, so he’s something of a wild card here. Ramirez is making the third defense of the title he won from Arthur Abraham in 2016.

The co-feature will see Ancajas (28-1-1, 19 KO) defend his IBF super flyweight world title against Israel Gonzalez (21-1, 8 KO). Ancajas is a serious favorite here, but this is meant to be something of a showcase, as he’s making his debut in the United States. He’s an exciting young fighter in a great division.

Wil Esco will be on the round-by-round call tonight. Join us for all the action!
