Eric Tudor boxed his way back into the win column.

All three judges had the junior middleweight hopeful winning every round in an eight-round decision victory over Luis Ramos. Scores of 80-72 across the board landed in favor of Tudor in the co-feature of a Golden Boy Fight Night on DAZN show Thursday evening from Commerce Casino in Commerce, California.

Tudor offered a far more disciplined approach than in his previous two outings—an eight-round win over Reggie Harris in an uneven performance last July and an eight-round points loss to Jose Luis Sanchez last October 7 in Las Vegas. The 22-year-old junior middleweight stuck to his jab and kept Puerto Rico’s Ramos at bay for much of the night.

The early rounds saw Ramos on the hunt but often stuck directly in front of Tudor. Little was learned from his first-round knockout defeat to Jeovanny Estela last September 23 as he spent much of the night plodding against the more polished Tudor.

More fluid combinations were offered by Tudor in the second half of the fight. His corner called for more left hooks behind the job. He instead found greater success with his uppercut and right hand over the top of Ramos’ guard.

Ramos enjoyed his best moment of the fight midway through round seven. Tudor looked to set up a right hand but was clipped by one in return from Ramos, who failed to follow up and stood in the pocket long enough to get caught with a counter. Tudor cornered the Boricua late in the frame and had him hurt only for the bell to end his rally.

The eighth and final round saw Tudor in full control though not to the point of producing the stoppage victory his corner insisted was in reach. Still, the performance was a much-needed confidence restorer for Tudor, who advanced to 10-1 (6KOs). Ramos fell to 7-3-1 (7KOs) with his third defeat in his past four starts.

Headlining the show, former IBF junior lightweight titlist Joseph ‘JoJo’ Diaz (33-4-1, 15KOs) meets Jesus ‘Ricky’ Perez (24-5, 18KOs) in a scheduled ten-round, junior welterweight contest.
