A look at the Zurdo Ramirez hospital OR injury update after his big fight with David Benavidez on Cinco De Mayo 2026 boxing weekend.
David Benavidez’ training paid off as he bust up the face of Gilberto Zurdo Ramirez at the weekend.
He pinged him for the six rounds with too much speed all together for him.
Here’s what we know about the injury after the fight facts wise.
- Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez was rushed to hospital after the TKO loss.
- He needed a head scan immediately after the fight.
- His right eye was swollen completely shut.
- Golden Boy Promotions said he’s “in good spirits”.
- Spokesperson: “There’s no determination of a fracture at this point”.
- Post-fight graphic showed Ramirez with severely swollen eye and bleeding lip.
- Injury came from sustained pressure + knockdowns in rounds 4 and 6.
- Commentators said Benavidez “literally broke Zurdo’s face”.
- Ramirez took a knee and told referee he’d had enough.
- Fight was waved off at 2:59 of round 6 due to eye damage.
It looked a bad eye injury but more should be revealed this week on scans and so on.
Ramirez might be sidelined for a little bit after that, which, is understandable.
It was a heavy loss.
A great Cinco De Mayo 2026 boxing weekend over all.
