Headlining a card taking place Tuesday night in Toronto. Steve Rolls' comeback from the GGG loss is the co-feature. NABA welterweight title at stake, 1st defense of Clayton. El Chacarero has only fought outside his native Argentina once, but it was a propitious journey as he shocked Bradley Skeete with a 2nd round KO. All three of Ramírez's losses to date have been close decisions against domestic opponents, and he thus far has only been dropped twice. This will be Clayton's fourth southpaw opponent. The previous three - Ramses Velilla "El Faraon" Agatón, Gábor Mihály Kovács, and DeMarcus "Chop-Chop" Corley - all got destroyed. The former Canadian amateur star - who delayed turning pro until his late 20s in order to compete at the Olympics (where he came bitterly close to reaching the medal stage, losing his third bout via count-back) - is unbeaten in 17 fights, but now 32 years old and needs to make his move sooner than later.

Rolls' opponent, if anyone cares, is former Brazilian national welterweight titlist Gilberto Pereira dos Santos. Crude, tough puncher.
Team Canada going 2-0 against the South Americans is all but certain - whether either of them bags the stoppage is a hard maybe.
clayton really needs to move faster at 32 he doesn't got much time hes in his prime now :/ hes a B+ fighter in my opinion and could maybe win a title in a weaker weight class but WW is 2 packed for him to be a world champ I think .. I do think he may get a title shot at somepoint though.. or I hope anyway.
Ramirez hits harder than his record suggests, and is capable of springing an upset from time to time. It's something of a step up for Custio. Hopefully Clayton can impress and capitalize on the momentum in the coming year. War Custio!
