The main event tonight is a contest for the NABF Light Heavyweight Championship, with Alfonso “El Tigre” Lopez III defending the belt against challenger Gilberto “Zurdo de Oro” Ramirez. Ramirez, a southpaw, is the former WBO Super Middleweight Champion and remains undefeated with a record of 40 wins. He vacated the WBO belt after moving up to light heavyweight last year; this will be Zurdo’s second fight at this weight class.
Ramirez will face a serious opponent in Lopez. El Tigre boasts a record of 32 wins (25 by KO) and only three losses and currently holds four light heavyweight titles. Although the 38-year-old boxing champion is getting on in years, Lopez has not lost a fight since 2012 and will be doing his ring walk tonight following a string of 10 victories. With more experience at light heavyweight and a higher percentage of wins by knockout, Lopez could be poised to deal Ramirez his first defeat — but it will be an uphill battle with the 29-year-old southpaw being the favorite to win.
The Gilberto Ramirez vs. Alfonso Lopez title bout event starts tonight at 8 p.m. ET. This is a pay-per-view showing that will air exclusively on FITE.TV, so now’s the time to sign up for FITE.TV and grab the PPV package for $25.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
