On the night of this Saturday, June 18, the Cuban boxer Robeisy Ramirez (10-1, 6 KOs) reached a very important victory for his sports career, after defeating the Puerto Rican by KO in the fifth round Abraham Nova (21-1, 15 KOs) in the co-main event of a boxing evening promoted by Top Rank Boxing Promotions, starring Artur Beterbiev and Joe Smith as the main match and held at the memorable Madison Square Garden Theater in New York, United States.

In a 10-round fight in the 126-pound featherweight division, “El Tren” dominated Nova from end to end during the five rounds that the match lasted, perfectly combining his blows on the Puerto Rican’s anatomy, in addition to a solid defense that prevented his opponent from being effective.
In the first round, the Puerto Rican looked a little better in the ring but, from then on, the Cuban fighter showed his best boxing against a rival who surpassed him in height, reach and body weight, taking over the times and distances, connecting the most important blows of the fight, mainly with his left hand, which easily reached Nova’s anatomy.
In fact, late in the third round, a Robeisy combination to Nova’s face put the Puerto Rican in bad shape, but the bell saved him from being knocked out. However, at 2:20 minutes of round 5, a left straight to the Puerto Rican’s face sent him to the canvas with no chance of recovery, with which the main referee of the fight ended it, declaring the Cuban the winner.
