| 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. |

DIAZ VS MARQUEZ 2 PRESSER |
|
JUAN DIAZ, Former Three-Time Lightweight World Champion
"It is difficult to balance a career and fatherhood at times. Thankfully I have my family who has been really supportive and helpful with everything.
"The best advice is to try and spend as much time with your children as possible. Sometimes people get caught up in accomplishing their own goals, but we need to remember to make our children our number one priority. You should never be too busy to play with your kids.
"I try to be with my son 99 percent of the time. I like to do small things with him. For example, we brush our teeth together at night. I want to lead him in the right direction as a young kid so that he will grow up and learn to have respect for other people.
"I'm trying to do the best that I can to accomplish my dreams and goals so that when my son gets older I can tell him, 'This is what I set out to do when I was your age' and for him to see what I was able to do in my life so he will want to follow in my footsteps."
