Dante Stone is a unique kind of Heavyweight. After losing his professional debut, he’s remained unbeaten since — often surprising those who expect him to fall at each Grand Prix stage.
Stone is calm and composed. His boxing isn’t about risk-taking — he patiently waits for openings, staying defensively alert, drawing opponents into his rhythm, and then outboxing them with an accurate jab and short, efficient combinations.
Across the ring stands his opposite: Ramirez, who after a brief feeling-out phase, starts fast and aggressively. The Argentine possesses real power, works the body well, and focuses on heavy shots. He forces opponents into exchanges and thrives in close-range combat.
At 25, Ramirez is six years younger than his American rival, yet both share roughly equal professional experience. Each entered the Grand Prix on winning streaks, having faced a variety of styles — from big punchers to skilled outboxers.
Stone throws slightly more punches overall, but the activity chart tells the real story. The middle rounds could be decisive: Stone’s punch volume tends to rise toward the final stages, while Ramirez’s output drops after strong early rounds.
However, the American’s mid-fight activity is among the lowest in the division — exactly when Ramirez is usually at his most dangerous and aggressive.
Both semifinalists went the six-round distance in their previous two fights. That short recovery window — just two months — could affect stamina, especially since Ramirez’s last bout came against a large, awkward Polish opponent.
Despite Stone holding a higher knockout percentage, it’s Ramirez’s punches that appear more convincing. He isn’t a one-shot finisher, but his volume and combinations carry notable weight and authority.
Both fighters have proven durable. Ramirez, given his style, has been tested frequently and typically holds up well. Stone, meanwhile, avoids unnecessary punishment through smart defense and pace control.
Still, one can’t overlook Ramirez’s effective body work — few opponents can endure sustained punishment to the midsection.
With both fighters now used to competing in Saudi Arabia, the neutral setting won’t favor either man. There’ll be no home advantage or judging bias — just a clean, even contest. That familiarity with the environment could help both deliver their best performance.
This matchup intrigues not just physically, but mentally. If Ramirez manages to impose his pressure and turn it into an inside fight, he could overpower Stone.
But if he can’t?
Dante Stone has repeatedly shown remarkable patience and composure. He waits for opponents to slow down, controls distance with his jab, defends efficiently, and then capitalizes when the moment comes.
Ramirez represents a serious test — perhaps his toughest yet. Still, Stone has made a career out of defying expectations. Count him out at your own risk.
