SAN JOSE, CA. (March 6, 2009) Southern California lightweight sensation Luis Ramos has arrived in San Jose, California for the first Bay Area appearance of his young career.
The all action southpaw sporting, a record of 9-0 with five knockouts will square off against Nicaraguan veteran, Anthony Martinez, 21-28-3 (9KO’s) in a special attraction four round bout lightweight tomorrow night at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California on the off-TV portion of HBO’s Boxing After Dark tripleheader presented by Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions.
“I’m thrilled to be fighting here, there’s going to be a big crowd and I’m looking forward to a great fight on Saturday night” said Ramos. “About two hundred people are coming up from the Santa Ana area and I don’t want to disappoint them.”
The 20 year old Ramos has filled ballrooms and fight venues in the Los Angeles area with his fast hands and aggressive style.
Said manager Frank Espinoza, “We’re thrilled for the opportunity and Luis is in great shape. Martinez has fought a lot of great fighters and he’s definitely got the edge in experience so it’s a very solid test for Luis.”
At the weigh-in on Friday afternoon, Ramos was a “lean and mean” 136 pounds with Martinez at 137.
The HBO Boxing After Dark card will feature a ten round junior middleweight showdown between knockout artists James Kirkland and Joel Julio, two of boxing’s hardest punchers. In one of the co-featured bouts, the NABO and USBA junior middleweight crowns will be on the line when “Vicious” Victor Ortiz takes on “Mighty” Mike Arnaoutis. Opening the telecast will be two time featherweight champion and Gilroy, California native Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero in a ten round junior lightweight contest against undefeated contender Daud Yordan.
Tickets for this hard hitting event, priced at $200, $100, $60 and $25 are available at the HP Pavilion Ticket Office, Ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster outlets or by calling 1-800-745-2000.
