LOS ANGELES, October 26, 2008 -- Friday night at the sold out Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, California, 19 year old lightweight sensation Luis Ramos continued to impress boxing fans in Southern California by winning a hard fought six round decision over Fort Worth’s Sadot Vazquez.
Knocking down Vazquez twice in the second and again in the third, Ramos closed the show strongly in the sixth to win the unanimous decision. With the win, Ramos improved his unblemished record to 8-0 (5KO’s), while the gutsy Vazquez moved to 3-3-1 (1 KO). Scores were 60-51 twice and 59-53.
Ramos displayed his speed and power throughout the fight which combined with his solid defense and effective counterpunching for a successful outing.
“I’m very happy with my performance, he was awkward and aggressive but it was a good test for me. I had him badly hurt in the second and third but he’s a tough fighter” said the Santa Ana resident.
“It was a pleasure to fight here again, the fans at the Doubletree have always been very supportive” commented Ramos about his fourth bout at the Ontario, California venue.
Said manager Frank Espinoza. “This was a terrific experience for Luis. It was the first time he went six rounds and Vazquez was a tough, game kid. Luis looked very good throughout the fight but it was a learning experience for him. I’m glad we had him back here in Ontario , this was his fourth time fighting here and the fans were very loud and supportive from the opening bell.
He was able to counterpunch very effectively and his defense really helped him with some of Vazquez aggressiveness. Overall, I’m very happy with his performance. His power and speed were truly the difference makers tonight.”
