Lara Floors Gonzalez Twice; Ramos Takes Interim WBC Title WBA Middleweight World Champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara (32-3-3, 19 KOs) scored knockdowns in the first and final rounds to secure a unanimous decision over Johan Gonzalez (36-5, 34 KOs). The Cuban’s triumph landed on the PBC pay-per-view undercard of Isaac Cruz vs Lamont Roach, streaming live from San Antonio. Lara won by scores of 120-106, 119-107, and 118-108, controlling the fight from the opening bell. He floored Gonzalez with a straight left late in round one, and while Gonzalez remained competitive, Lara’s precise counters and measured aggression kept him in command throughout. Lara Shows Ring Mastery “Gonzalez came to fight, and he came to win,” Lara said. “We knew him a little bit, so we made the adjustments we needed. He was a tough opponent, but we executed the game plan.” Gonzalez, stepping in on short notice, acknowledged Lara’s skill. “I felt a little uncomfortable in the first few rounds. The first knockdown was a punch and a slip. The second was a clean shot from Lara.” Through the middle rounds, Lara controlled distance, countered sharply, and limited Gonzalez’s opportunities. A final flurry in the closing seconds of round 12 put Gonzalez down for a second time, cementing Lara’s victory. “I showed the world I’m 42 and still at the top of my game,” Lara said. Ramos Captures Interim WBC Title Opening the pay-per-view, rising Mexican prospect Jesus “Mono” Ramos Jr. (24-1, 19 KOs) claimed the Interim WBC Middleweight Title with a unanimous decision over Shane Mosley Jr. (22-5, 12 KOs). Ramos won 117-111 twice and 116-112, combining inside work with powerful counters to secure the win. “I faced a lot of obstacles,” Ramos said. “I had a right-hand injury and limited sparring in camp, but I told my family there was no way I was leaving San Antonio without a belt.” Mosley praised Ramos’s effort. “He was the man tonight. I’ll be back and be better.” Ramos increased pressure late, mixing lateral movement and power punches in rounds 10 and 11. He landed 40 power shots in the final rounds and now sets his sights on WBC Middleweight World Champion Carlos Adames. “I want Adames. I don’t want the interim belt, I want the full champion,” Ramos said. Conclusion Both fights underscored the depth of talent on the PBC pay-per-view card. Lara reaffirmed his elite status at 160 pounds at 42, while Ramos’s performance positioned him as a rising contender. Whether the pair could meet in the future is also a strong consideration.

Erislandy Lara Breaks Silence on Canceled Unification Fight Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara will step into the ring this Saturday after Janibek Alimkhanuly was removed from their scheduled WBA, IBF, and WBO middleweight unification fight due to a positive drug test. The Cuban-born Lara, a two-division world champion, remains the oldest active world titleholder, adding extra intrigue to this high-stakes matchup. At Wednesday’s public media workout ahead of fight week, Lara remained focused and measured, ready to face a new opponent. Lara Responds: Focused and Professional Addressing the sudden change in opponents, the reigning WBA champion at 160 pounds, said, “I’m just focused on fighting, no matter who the opponent is. “I’m not even going to mention that guy’s name because he doesn’t deserve it. I’m glad to be on this big card. It means a lot. “We’re going to go out there prepared and see what our opponent does and take it from there.” Lara’s calm response contrasts with the controversy surrounding Alimkhanuly’s adverse analytical finding, confirmed by the WBO. A Show Cause Notice has been issued, and an internal investigation is underway, leaving the WBO and IBF belts temporarily in limbo. New Challenger, Same Determination Lara now faces Johan Gonzalez, who stepped in on short notice for his first world-title appearance. Gonzalez expressed his excitement: “I’m really excited about getting this opportunity. I’m here, and I’m here to win. I’m here to shock the world. “Before the fight against Jarrett Hurd, I trained hard, stayed disciplined, and got the win. This is no different. My fundamentals and my hunger to be the best will make the difference. “I’m going to put on a show for everyone. I’m not going to let anyone down. On Saturday, it will be a new feeling to become world champion.” Fight Week Underway The matchup takes place Saturday, December 6, as part of a PBC Pay-Per-View event at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio. Mexican star Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz faces WBA Super Featherweight World Champion Lamont Roach for Cruz’s Interim WBC Super Lightweight Title in the main event. Two-division world champion Stephen Fulton Jr. takes on WBC Super Featherweight World Champion O’Shaquie Foster in the co-main, while rising Mexican star Jesus “Mono” Ramos Jr. meets top contender Shane Mosley Jr. for the Interim WBC Middleweight Title in the opening bout. The pay-per-view is available on Prime Video, cable, satellite, and PPV.com, with tickets through Ticketmaster. The Fallout: Janibek Speaks Alimkhanuly has publicly maintained his innocence following the VADA test: “I have always supported clean sport, you know this well. I was surprised when I read the news. “VADA took the first test and said everything was clean. I have not made any changes to my vitamins. I don’t know what happened with the second test, so I requested a retest.” He previously posted himself getting tested on November 12, stating: “I support clean sport. I’m against athletes using doping! We took the VADA test, and the results came in yesterday — everything’s clean.” Only time will tell if that is actually the case. The canceled unification also affects Terence Crawford, who had been aiming to face the winner for all three middleweight belts.

Failed drug test wrecks Crawford’s shot at middleweight crown Terence Crawford’s long-planned move to middleweight absorbed a hammer blow this week after unified champion Janibek Alimkhanuly failed a VADA anti-doping test. The scenario instantly collapsed the three-belt scenario Crawford had been quietly tracking for early 2025, leaving him facing a potential vacant-title route after Canelo’s expected May rematch. Instead of the high-stakes unification that would have crowned a clear middleweight leader and provided Crawford with the champion he needed, the WBA Middleweight World Champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara will now defend his belt against heavy-handed Venezuelan Johan Gonzalez on a reshuffled PBC Pay-Per-View event live on Prime Video from the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio. The fallout is simple: Crawford loses the perfect entry point, the division loses its clarity, and what should have been a decisive weekend for 160 becomes damage limitation. Lara Salvages the Event — But Crawford Loses the Route Lara (31-3-3, 19 KOs) was initially scheduled to face Janibek in a rare champion-vs-champion crossroads. The winner would have emerged with three belts and full leverage — the exact opponent Crawford had positioned himself to face next. Janibek’s positive test knocked the first domino, freezing Crawford’s middleweight timeline and forcing him into a far less meaningful path — one that now hinges on how the WBA navigates the fallout and Canelo’s May 168-pound rematch, further delaying any crossover opportunities. Adding insult to injury, the WBC stripped Crawford of his super-middleweight world title for unpaid sanctioning fees, removing another potential fallback route. The WBC has already ordered Hamzah Sheeraz to face Christian Mbilli for the now-vacant belt, with Lester Martinez lined up as the mandatory challenger, making Crawford’s route to any immediate championship even more complicated. Lara remains in sharp form after stopping former two-division champion Danny Garcia in 2024, having first captured the WBA belt with a one-round demolition of Thomas LaManna before KO victories over Gary O’Sullivan and Michael Zerafa. He was meant to be the final exam before Crawford entered the division. Now, the narrative has stalled, and the belt picture risks fracturing entirely. The Replacement: Dangerous, Not Defining Johan Gonzalez (36-4, 33 KOs) steps in on short notice following his upset over former unified champion Jarrett Hurd in March. He brings power but not the profile, prestige, or political weight Crawford required. His inconsistent form — including losses to Yoenis Tellez and Jesus Ramos — reinforces that the 160-pound storyline has shifted from unification to simple survival. The PPV Line-Up Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz vs. Lamont Roach – Interim WBC Super Lightweight Title Stephen Fulton Jr. vs. O’Shaquie Foster – Co-main event Jesus “Mono” Ramos Jr. vs. Shane Mosley Jr. – Interim WBC Middleweight Title opener Erislandy Lara vs. Johan Gonzalez – WBA Middleweight Title The event begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, with tickets available via Ticketmaster. The Real Story: Crawford’s Path Resets Crawford’s entry into middleweight was meant to begin with a unified champion, not a vacancy. With the unification gone, the Canelo timetable locked until summer, and the WBA now reshuffling the deck, Crawford’s most realistic next step is a vacant-title opportunity or a delayed shot at the Lara–Gonzalez winner if the sanctioning order remains intact. The storyline of Crawford stepping into a three-belt fight has vanished — and that is the biggest casualty of this entire episode.
