| 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. |

BRIAN VILORIA VS OMAR SOTO PREVIEW |
|
PHILIPPINES – This Saturday, we find ourselves back in Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City Philippines for the fourth installment of Solar Sports’ “Boxing at the Bay” series which is growing ever so popular. This time Brian Viloria’s comeback fight is featured as he goes up against Omar Soto of Mexico.
Viloria, coming off a loss in his last fight against Colombia’s Carlos Tamara, is looking to regain his championship form this time campaigning in the Flyweight division, a good 4 pounds above his previous weight class. Viloria has acknowledged that he did have a disappointing performance last January in front of his Filipino fans but is now eager to get back on top.
Much controversy has surrounded Viloria’s camp in the last couple of weeks, most significantly the departure of his head trainer Robert Garcia, who also trains Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire. Since then however Ruben Salazar has picked up the spot and also brought in former Middleweight Champion of the World Frankie Liles. All seems to be well in training camp but let’s wait and see what it all translates to on fight night.
Viloria has cited the weight class change to be the difference in this third attempt at a world title run, he has said that it has made him stronger as a fighter being that he didn’t have to work hard to burn off those last few pounds. He also believes that he has carried his speed and power into the new division. Which will be important because he faces a very durable fighter in Omar Soto. Soto doesn’t necessarily boast an impressive win-loss record having had 6 defeats with one foot already inside “journeyman” category but he should be able to give Brian Viloria all that he can handle for this one. Though Soto does not bring a whole lot to the table on paper, you can be sure that he will bring his Mexican warrior heart once he steps inside the ring.
Viloria hopes to bring his ‘A’ game for another spectacular performance, the likes of which when he knocked out Ulises Solis just last year. With a victory, Viloria will look to campaign further as a Flyweight in a division that is not necessarily stacked with star power. Among the top ten Flyweights today, his star could be the one to shine the most.
