Rising boxing phenom Jesus Ramos wants to replicate Floyd Mayweather's supremacy in the sport

• Jesus Ramos is trying to follow a Floyd Mayweather blueprint.
• The 20-year-old won by knockout in his fight Saturday, and once again showed he's a rising star.

LAS VEGAS — Rising boxing phenom Jesus Ramos wants to replicate Floyd Mayweather's supremacy in the sport.

The 20-year-old fighter showed once again Saturday at the Michelob Ultra Arena inside the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas that he can be a future star, as he beat Vladimir Hernandez by knockout in the sixth round.

Ramos fought on the pay-per-view section of the Premier Boxing Champions card broadcast on Fox.

As Insider reported from ringside at the time, Ramos may have been behind on the scorecards, but he amped the pressure to put Hernandez in a position that he simply could not fight back from, forcing the referee to intervene.

It was a performance as brilliant as it was bruising and advanced the young stud's pro record to 18 wins with 15 knockouts.

In a statement sent to Insider, Ramos said he "wasn't really looking for the knockout."

He called Hernandez a "tough, durable guy," adding: "I broke him down round by round, landing a clean shot that hurt him, so I got the job done."

Ramos was keen to "make a statement" in the 154-pound division. And having beaten Brian Mendoza in September, last year, and now Hernandez, he feels he's slaying "big names."

Ramos said it's an intentional blueprint. "We want to build our resume like Floyd Mayweather did. He had [Arturo] Gatti, [Diego] Corrales,[Jose Luis] Castillo and all the guys," early in his career, he said.

"That's something you can't take away from him, and that's what I want to do. I want to earn my reputation. I'm not here to have Instagram followers. I'm here to make a statement in boxing."
