LAS VEGAS (AP)—Cuban two-time Olympic champion Guillermo Rigondeaux stopped Rico Ramos midway through the sixth round to take the WBA super bantamweight title Friday in just his ninth professional fight, a record for fewest bouts en route to a major world title.

The undefeated Cuban defector floored the overmatched Ramos with a straight right in the first round, had control throughout and ended it with a left hook to the body.

Rigondeaux said “I wanted to make history. I’m very happy and this is a historic moment.”
