Camara knew her last-minute rival was fighting and she saw it in the ring. Ramos Zamora presents a misleading record having already rubbed shoulders with four future world champions including Marie-Eve Dicaire.
This time, Ramos Zamora came to the Belle province to spoil the game. She often pinned Camara in the cables and pounded her with powerful and precise blows.
The 34-year-old Quebecois had some chances on her return home after a three-year absence but failed to win.
It wasn’t worth more for the 29-year-old Mexican to hit back. Despite a bruised left eye, Ramos Zamora opened the machine and referee Martin Forest had no choice but to end the attacker at 1:46 of the fourth round when he saw the Ontario native was no longer defending.
That loss to a last-minute opponent comes as a blow to Camara, who lost to Kali Reis in 2021 by split decision for the unified WBA, IBO and WBO welterweight titles.
Veyre continues on his way
Caroline Veyre (3-0) continued her wonderful transition from amateur to pro by defeating French Featherweight Champion Anaëlle Angerville (5-2) by unanimous decision.
The judges declared her the winner with cards of 60-54, 59-55 and 59-55.
The 34-year-old Paris-born Montreal native was cheered on by the crowd, watching the former world muay thai (Thai boxing) champion start strong and land solid.
But as she said a few days ago, Veyre has worked hard on her defense and it has paid off.
Angerville, who agreed to fight in Quebec last week, quickly lost her momentum, exhausted from tossing shots in the air.
The Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games gold medalist and Tokyo 2021 Olympics quarterfinalist adapted and dodged most of Angerville’s attacks as the fight progressed. At the age of four, the 33-year-old Frenchwoman saw her winning streak come to an end.
Gall makes friends
Ontario’s Amanda Galle (8-0, 1 KO) and Mexico’s Lorena Aispuro (4-3) got the crowd going as they opened the match and traded back and forth for most of the game.
Galle, who appeared in the ring in the Canadiens jersey to the delight of the spectators, was favored by the judges, who unanimously declared her the winner thanks to 79-73, 80-72 and 80-72 points.
Although the 33-year-old Canadian super bantamweight champion bowed her knees in the seventh and penultimate round to her opponent, who was fighting professionally for the first time outside of her country, the duel was a warm one.
fast
Then Yoel Angeloni (2-0) was not long in coming and won ahead of the Mexican Alexander Calixto (1-2, 1 knockout). The former 2019 European Junior Champion knocked down his poor rival three times despite a low kick from Calixto and referee Martin Forest gave up after 1:29 of the second half.
The 19-year-old contestant, wearing Italy shorts on the front (in honor of his father) and Cuba on the back (in honor of his mother), proved he meant business and should be watched.
Hurry on St. Patrick’s Day!
Ireland’s Joseph Ward (9-1, 5 KOs) was looking forward to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day and didn’t linger long in the ring, beating Mexico’s Andrade Rodriguez (7-1, 4 KOs) in the first attack put down this light heavyweight confrontation.
The 29-year-old former amateur world runner-up landed a solid right, then two left hooks that ended Rodriguez. At 1:31 the forward referee had seen enough.
The serious knee injury Ward sustained in his first professional fight at New York’s Madison Square Garden in 2019 seems a long way off as the Rio 2016 Olympic champion has since recorded nine wins.
