Marriaga was knocked down by a left hand from Ramirez in the third, and he continued to take heavy punishment in the fourth, fifth and sixth.
Super featherweight contender Eduardo Ramirez (26-2-3, 12 KOs) outworked former three-time world title challenger Miguel Marriaga (30-5, 26 KOs) in winning a grueling 10 round unanimous decision. A change of scenery might be a good idea for Derevyanchenko, as he’s getting the short end of the stick with the scoring of his fights in the U.S. Derevyanchenko arguably deserves wins against GGG, Jacobs, and, of course, Adames. Granted, Derevyanchenko’s promoters have done him no favors with their tough match-making, putting him in this murderer’s row since 2018: Daniel Jacobs, Gennadiy Golovkin, and Jermall Charlo. The loss for Derevyanchenko is his third consecutive and fourth in his last five fights. Moreover, the 97-93 score for Adames was shockingly bad, making it difficult to understand how the judges derived to come with that outcome. The scoring, however, was troubling because it looked like the judges gave it to the wrong man. All in all, it was an excellent fight and easily the most entertaining on the card thus far. In the second half of the fight, Adames, 27, looked tired and clearly was feeling the face pace that Derevyanchenko was setting. Derevyanchenko appeared to take over the fight from the fourth round on, hurting Adames repeatedly with heavy shots to the head. Boxing News 24 had the 36-year-old Derevyanchenko winning the fight 96-94.
