Notes
- The southpaw Ramirez won nearly every round and the WBO world title with a superior jab, a consistent mix of head and body power punches, and superior head and foot movement. Both fighters appeared relaxed and engaged in a technical war. Ramirez, younger and faster, put the 36 year old Abraham mostly on the defensive the entire bout. Despite moving forward the whole bout, Abraham had his gloves up as earmuffs and rarely launched any punches of consequence. Both fighters exchanged head punches well, but the Ramirez game plan landed numerous body punches in every round, which slowed Abraham down. Abraham landed almost no body punches. Ramirez obliged with fast side to side movement, and Abraham walked after Ramirez but could not chase him. Abraham's best round was the sixth round, which he appeared to win despite the scorecards, by being busier and shaking Ramirez with some hard shots and backing him up. Abraham also appeared to win the tenth round by landing some hard shots, a round where Ramirez was more on the defensive. Ramirez was warned for a low blow in round five, which occurred after Abraham missed with a punch swing trying to get inside, and Ramirez' counter went low as Abraham wound up in too close after the miss. Both fighters were also warned for rabbit punching during clinches. Blood trickled from the left nostril of Ramirez at the start of round 12, but otherwise the fighters appeared unscathed at bout's end. The scoring and officiating appeared neutral and fair. Ramirez won on the punch count by outworking Abraham all night in almost every round by volume. Not a close bout.
