Ramos Outpoints King to Retain Featherweight Title
Sugar Ramos of Cuba defended his world featherweight crown by outpointing Nigerian challenger Rafia King in 15 rounds at El Toreo Bullring Mexico City. Ramos weighed 126 pounds. King 125. Ramos endured a forced early ring entry and injured hands from the sixth round, but earned the decision before 23,500 fans as rain threatened earlier. King, 26, suffered a first-round cut that bled intermittently, while promoter Pablo Ochoa moved up the bout to avoid postponement.
