Eye of the Tiger and Punching Grace present: Commando Series returns to Mexico to mark Alberto Ramirez debut with EOTTM
Eye of the Tiger will storm the city of Cuernavaca in Mexico for a fifth time, with this event’s Commando featuring Mehmet Nadir Unal, Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse, Leïla Beaudoin as well as the new recruit of EOTTM, the WBA’s world #6 light heavyweight, Albert Ramirez. The event, which will be presented on May 5 in association with HC Promotions, will be broadcast live on the Punching Grace network starting at 7:30 p.m. – Quebec time.
Venezuelan southpaw and 2016 Olympian Albert Ramirez (15-0, 14 KOs) will make his first fight within Eye of the Tiger’s ranks as he takes on Ricardo Adrian Luna (25-9-2, 16 KOs) in a bout scheduled for 10 rounds. Renowned for his devastating power that has wreaked havoc since his professional debut in 2018, Ramirez is currently ranked No. 6 in the WBA, #11 in the WBO and #15 in the WBC. He thus represents an important acquisition for the Montreal promoter who intends to make him progress quickly towards championship fights.
The athlete from Témiscouata Leïla Beaudoin (9-0, 1 KO) had a flourishing year in 2022. The one who is currently ranked first in her division in Canada in addition to having pierced the top 5 in the world at 130 lbs according to BoxRec, hopes to solidify her position in the rankings with her performance on May 5 against Elizabeth Chavez Espinoza (3 -4-3, 1 KO).
Outaouais born Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse (4-1, 1 KO) offered a powerful performance on March 23 after a little over 5 years of absence while dominating her opponent, Princess Hairston. For her second fight since her association with EOTTM, she will face Giovanna Gonzalez (3-3, 1 KO) in a fight scheduled for 6 rounds.
Mehmet Nadir Unal (3-0, 3 KOs) is forging a reputation as a heavy puncher with his 3 victories by KO in the light heavyweight division. Marc Ramsay’s protege started boxing at the age of 14 and progressed on the national and international scene until earning a place on the Turkish national team for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. On May 5, he will try to add a 4th victory since his professional debut in July 2021 where he is set to face Argentinian Roberto Dionicio Moreno (13-11-1, 2 KOs)..
