The primary issue following the fight was swelling around his right eye, which led to the ringside doctor\u2019s decision to stop the bout.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m doing well after being discharged from the hospital this afternoon. The swelling, mainly of the right eye, is subsiding very well,\u201d Ramirez said.<\/p>\n<p>He also referenced an elbow that landed during the final exchange as part of the damage sustained late in the fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithin that bad taste in the mouth, the elbow that David gave me in that final combination also remains,\u201d Ramirez said.<\/p>\n<p>The bout was halted in the sixth round after visible swelling and accumulated damage prompted a medical review at ringside. It marked the first stoppage defeat of Ramirez\u2019s career.<\/p>\n<p>His release from the hospital less than 24 hours after the fight indicates no lasting injury, with recovery already underway.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Galm is a boxing journalist who has covered the global fight landscape since 2014, specializing in heavyweight analysis, industry trends, and fighter psychology.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/boxingnews24.substack.com\/subscribe\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to subscribe to our FREE newsletter<\/a>Related Boxing News:<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tCategories <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxingnews24.com\/boxer\/david-benavidez\/\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">David Benavidez<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxingnews24.com\/boxer\/gilberto-ramirez\/\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gilberto Ramirez<\/a> \t\t<\/p>\n<p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxingnews24.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Boxing News 24<\/a> \u00bb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxingnews24.com\/boxer\/david-benavidez\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">David Benavidez<\/a> \u00bb Gilberto Ramirez Leaves Hospital After Benavidez Loss, No Serious Injury Reported<\/p>\n<p>Last Updated on 2026\/05\/04 at 7:52 AM \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ramirez reports swelling to right eye but confirms he is recovering after sixth-round stoppage defeat Gilberto \u201cZurdo\u201d Ramirez&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":565557,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-565556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=565556"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565556\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/565557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=565556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=565556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=565556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
