Walberto Ramos Took His Flyweight Title Bid to Luna Park
Walberto Ramos challenged Omar Narváez for the WBO flyweight championship in Buenos Aires on October 14, 2006. Narváez retained his belt by unanimous decision after twelve rounds.
Career highlights
The Colombian contender entered the contest as WBO Latin champion, with a reported record of eleven wins, four losses and two draws. Narváez was unbeaten and preparing for the ninth defense of his world championship.
The meeting formed part of a Luna Park card featuring two championship contests. Ramos completed the scheduled distance, but Narváez’s victory kept the world flyweight title in Argentina.
The later professional chapter
Ramos continued competing for many years after the Narváez challenge. His later opponents included David Sánchez in 2015 and former world champion Anselmo Moreno in a WBA Fedelatin featherweight title contest in Panama in 2021. His recorded professional activity continued into 2024.
The Narváez scorecards were 115–112, 115–111 and 117–109, giving the defending champion all three official votes. Roberto Ramírez Sr. refereed the contest. Ramos’s later career moved through several weight divisions, including a super flyweight meeting with David Sánchez and the featherweight assignment against Moreno. Those later appearances show how far his professional schedule extended beyond the original flyweight championship opportunity, which remained one of the most significant assignments of his earlier career.
