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.
WEIGH-IN: VILORIA 112 – SOTO 111.5
CROWNE PLAZA HOTEL – Earlier today the weigh in for Boxing at the Bay 4: Unbreakable took place at the Ruby Ballroom at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Mandaluyong City, Philippines. Coming off a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of Carlos Tamara last January, Viloria looks to begin his climb back to the top and into title contention against tough Mexican, Omar Soto. Viloria had no problem making the Flyweight limit as did Soto. The fighters will square off this Saturday at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City for 12 rounds of Boxing.
Also schedule to fight is up and coming Lightweight, Al Sabaupan of Touch Gloves Boxing Gym in Agoncillo, Batangas (the same stable as Drian “Gintong Kamao” Francisco). He will be taking on Wonchit Twins Gym of Thailand. Sabaupan is the reigning IBF Pan Pacific Lightweight champion, a title he won at the last Boxing at the Bay. During the weigh in, Sabaupan tipped the scales at a trim 133.5 while his opponent came in over the limit and needed a couple of hours to try and shed the excess pounds. In the end, Wonchit Twins Gym logged in at a solid 140 lbs., we have received word that the fight is still on although it will be a Non-Title fight.

Also in attendance was former world champion, “Marvelous” Marvin Sonsona and our very good friend Elmer Anuran, manager of Drian “Gintong Kamao” Francisco who says he has big plans for Francisco, and could be getting him on the Pacquiao-Mayweather undercard should the super fight push through this November.
