Abel Ramos batters Omar Figueroa Jr to sixth round defeat

Abel Ramos ended any hopes that former WBC world lightweight champion Omar Figueroa Jr may have harbored of getting back to world title contention when he forced Figueroa's cornerman Joel Diaz to end the fight after the 6th round of their WBA welterweight elimination bout on Premier Boxing Champions card from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

Ramos, from Casa Grande, Arizona, lost by split decision in a vacant WBA world welterweight title challenge against Cuban Yordenis Ugas last September. His other losses came against Regis Prograis, Ivan Baranchyk, and Jamel James, so he is a quality operator.
