The WBO Championship and the WBA Championship will both be on the line in a unification cruiserweight fight tonight. Riyadh in Saudi Arabia will host what promises to be a spectacular bout between the WBA belt-holder Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez and the WBO champion Chris Billam-Smith.
Ramirez boasts a formidable 46-1 professional record and begins as the favorite. Billam-Smith has won three consecutive world championship fights, though, and he will hope to cause an upset here.
Ramirez is a southpaw boxer who wears down opponents with his relentless forward pressure. Billam-Smith does not have much experience of fighting southpaws, so Ramírez's stance brings its own issues. Billam-Smith is physically and mentally tough, but this is the biggest challenge of his career to date.
Billam-Smith came in at 199.4lbs at the weigh-in, with Ramirez scaling 199.6lbs. All eyes are now on tonight's main event.
