Informed war: Promise knockout to Cuban Robeisy Ramírez

"A warned war doesn't kill soldiers," reads a worn-out saying that seems to fit Cuban Robeisy Ramírez like a glove after the statements made by Ricardo Cumings, coach of Mexican Brandon León Benítez, the next opponent of the former featherweight monarch of the World Boxing Organization.

"The goal will be to win by knockout, something that won't give the judges the opportunity to take a victory away from us," Cumings threw as an uppercut in his statements to the specialized page Solo Boxeo.

In his return to the ring after losing the universal title to Mexican Rafael Espinoza, Ramírez, a two-time Olympic champion in his amateur career, will clash gloves with León on June 29th at the James L. Knight Center in Miami Beach, Florida.

Despite the cachet of the Cuban fighter, Cumings made it clear that they are determined to take the victory: "This is our moment, and we are going to put the name of Brandon Benítez on the line for a world title fight. Benítez is at his best and we will not have excuses if they beat us, but I have no doubt that we will come out victorious."

Currently, the Cuban boxer has a record of 13 victories, two defeats, and eight knockouts as a professional, while his opponent has 21 wins, equally two losses, and nine opponents dispatched by knockout.

Regarding the fight venue, the Mexican coach stated, "It's logical that the public supports their fighter, Miami is like his home. But that doesn't scare us, we have fought before under those conditions."

"I think the first thing is discipline and focus, Brandon has his ideas clear and knows what he wants and how to achieve his goal, which is to win an opportunity to fight for a world title. Robeisy did not look good against Espinoza, and we will take advantage of that fight," he added.

A week ago, after the dispute was made official, the Cuban wrote on his social media: "On June 29, my mission to regain my world title and return to the top where I know I belong begins. Cuba vs. Mexico again, and I am excited to have the loyal support of the Cuban community in Miami. So, bring your flag."

"It will be an electrifying event. The journey is far from over. My return will be legendary. The Train is back!" added the boxer, who drew experience from his last performance.

In July 2018, Ramírez left the Cuban boxing team's training camp in Aguascalientes, Mexico, on the way to the Central American and Caribbean Games in Barranquilla, Colombia.

Upon learning the news, the official press launched a fierce attack. "Attitudes like these move away from the values and discipline that have characterized our sport, which remains committed to making the greatest possible contribution to the Cuban delegation in the regional event," the text read.
