Recent Form
Dzmitry Asanau (Belarus, 11-0, 5 KOs, Orthodox, Age 29): Asanau is on a hot streak, showcasing technical prowess from his amateur background (two-time Olympian). His last five fights demonstrate versatility: wins by KO, UD, and TKO against quality opposition. Recent highlights include a KO over Laid Douadi (Sep 2025), a UD over Francesco Patera (Apr 2025), and a TKO over Matias Carlos Adrian Rueda (Nov 2024).
He’s won his last three by stoppage or dominant decision, entering as a heavy favorite.
Carlos Ramos (Spain, 18-3-1, 10 KOs, Southpaw, Age 30): Ramos brings experience but has struggled recently. His form shows a mix of power and resilience, but he’s 1-1-1 in his last three: a technical draw vs. Cristian Eusse (Jun 2024, 1 round due to cut), a UD loss to Henry Lebron (Jun 2023), and a win prior.
Ramos has 55.6% KO rate but has gone the distance in recent competitive bouts. For context on the original opponent: Claudio Gabriel Daneff (Argentina, 24-4-1, 11 KOs, Southpaw, Age 29) has solid recent form (4-1 in last 5), including a win over Kaine Fourie for the IBO Inter-Continental light title (Nov 2023), but losses to top contenders like Khariton Agrba.
Fight History
Asanau: Pro debut in 2022 after a stellar amateur career (over 200 fights, including Olympic appearances in 2016 and 2020). He’s climbed rankings quickly, holding a #4 WBC spot.
Key wins: UD over Patera (former European champ), TKO over Rueda (experienced Argentine). No common opponents with Ramos.
Ramos: Debuted in 2016, building a record in Spain and Europe. Notable wins include KOs over domestic rivals, but losses to prospects like Lebron highlight vulnerabilities against elite speed. Born in Ecuador, based in Madrid; this is his North American debut.
Ramos has faced southpaws before but lacks Asanau’s amateur pedigree.
No head-to-head history between Asanau and Ramos (or Daneff).
