| LUIS RAMOS |
|
|
Name: Luis Ramos
Record: 16-0, 8 KO
Division: Lightweight: 135 lbs
Luis Ramos, of Frank Espinoza’s “Espinoza Boxing Club”, is already looked upon as one of the hottest young prospects in boxing. After a decorated amateur career spanning more than 100 fights and 6 national championships, Ramos turned to the professional ranks in late 2007. Having already built an impressive record of 16 wins, 8 coming by way of knockout, Ramos’ following in the Southern California area is impressive, to say the least. Ramos is never in a dull fight, and fights with a crowd-pleasing style. Keep an eye on Ramos in the near future, as his next scheduled bout is set to be televised on Telefutura on September 17, 2010, from Los Angeles, California. |

FREDDIE ROACH: SHANE YOU\'RE JUST TOO GOOD FOR PACQUIAO |
|
These are Freddie Roach's words that he reported to the La Times by way of Bill Dwyre. "Shane came to the gym twice to ask me to let him fight Manny," Roach says. "I told him no both times, and both times for the same two reasons: First, there isn't enough money there, and second, you're too good a fighter." I believe there is some truth and a lie mixed up in there.
Wow, so which one holds more truth to it? Not enough money? No, No, No, the fans would have paid good money to see that fight after Shane blew Margarito out and has the belt at welterweight and he was willing to come in at 145lbs.
Or is it really reason number 2. Shane your just too good for my very own fighter Manny Pacquiao? If I was a betting man I would say number 2. So many people accuse Floyd Mayweather of hand picking his opponents that nobody stops to think that Freddie Roach and Bob Arum hand picks Manny Pacquiao opponents as well. Their arguement is that Floyd handles his negotiations. You must remember that Pacquiao also has to agree with who he fights. The fighters say it all the time, "Whoever my management puts in front of me then that's who I will fight". This is far from the truth. Fighters themselves have to make that decision. Your management team throws a name at you and you have to decide whether to fight that person or not.
Interesting enough, that we wonder if Sugar Shane Mosely loses to Floyd Mayweather would Pacquiao be willing to fight him then if the negotiations fall through between Money Mayweather and Pacquiao again? What would the media and fans think if they tell Pacquiao that Shane took the test, why not you now?
Hmmm, that is something to think about. Let's see how this unfolds. |
