Los Osuna Sponsors Giberto Rimirez

Los Osuna, Blue Agave Spirits, Sponsors Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez in the super middleweight championship boxing match against Gevorg Khatchikian.

Undefeated Mexican knockout artist and No. 1 world-rated super middleweight contender GILBERTO “Zurdo” RAMIREZ will risk his upcoming world title shot in a 10-round World Boxing Organization (WBO) International / North American Boxing Federation (NABF) super middleweight title defense against GEVORG KHATCHIKIAN, of the Netherlands, making his U.S. debut, Friday, Nov. 20, at The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Ramirez vs. Khatchikian will be televised live on The MetroPCS Friday Night Knockout on truTV®. The telecast will open with a 10-round junior lightweight rumble between once-beaten IVAN “Bam Bam” NAJERA of San Antonio and unbeaten SAÚL “Kid Dynamite” RODRÍGUEZ, of Riverside, California.

Ramirez (32-0, 24 KOs), a two-fisted super middleweight wrecking machine who hails from Mazatlan, Mexico, is the top world-rated contender in the WBO and the International Boxing Federation (IBF) rankings and is world-rated No. 2 by the World Boxing Association (WBA) and No. 3 by the World Boxing Council (WBC).

Khatchian (22-1, 10 KOs), 27, from Heerlen, Netherlands, has a fighting style that features strong boxing skills and excellent movement. Five of his last six victories have come by way of knockout. A strong amateur background, Khatchian produced a 99-11 record, which included a gold medal victory in the 2005 Dutch National Championships.

Rodriguez (18-0-1, 13 KOs), from Riverside, California, has gone the distance just twice in his last 10 fights, a testament to his one-punch knockout power and his ring name, “Kid Dynamite.”

Najera (16-1, 8 KOs), from San Antonio, Texas, is known for his crowd-pleasing aggressive style of fighting and good punching power.
