Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez wasn't about to let Jesse Hart take his super middleweight world title. In a hard-hitting slugfest, Ramirez dropped Hart in the second round, hit him with numerous clean punches and worked him over the body en route to a unanimous-decision victory on Friday night before 4,103 at the Tucson Arena. Hart (22-1, 18 KOs), 28, the mandatory challenger from Philadelphia, was trying to win the title for his father and trainer, Eugene "Cyclone" Hart, who was a top middleweight contender in the 1970s. He fought everybody, including losing by eighth-round knockout to Hall of Famer Marvelous Marvin Hagler in 1976, but never got a title shot. Jesse Hart's goal was to win and wrap the belt around his father in the ring after the fight, and although he was game and showed enormous heart, Ramirez, who retained the 168-pound belt for the second time, was the clear winner in the co-feature of the Top Rank ESPN card headlined by featherweight titlist Oscar Valdez's defense against Genesis Servania. Two judges scored the fight 115-112 and the third had it 114-113 for Ramirez, who seemed to be much more dominant than the scorecards indicated. ESPN.com scored the fight 117-110 for Ramirez. read more http://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/...s-jesse-hart-retains-super-middleweight-title
