By José Santana Jr. As the saying goes, good things come in threes. This would seem to hold true for a certain trio of young southern Californian boxers. It was announced a week ago that prospects Luis Ramos (20), Carlos Molina (20), and Ronny Rios (19) are the newest members of the Golden Boy Promotions team. Golden Boy and several other promoters have had their eyes on these young talents, who are also all managed by World Boxing Hall of Fame 2007 manager of the year Frank Espinoza, since they turned pro. Espinoza, who is also the manager of Israel Vasquez, is proud of his young fighters and the opportunity that they have been given from Golden Boy. The exposure that they will get is something that excites Espinoza, We feel Golden Boy Promotions gave us the best opportunity for my guys to grow. Part of that exposure and growth is being able to be featured on the Fight Night Club series; a new boxing series presented by Golden Boy that gives promising west coast fighters the opportunity to be seen on a national audience. All three, Ramos, Molina, and Rios, will be given that opportunity this Thursday when they fight live on the Versus Channel on the second instalment of Fight Night Club. One fighter, Ramos (11-0, 6KOs), is coming in with some experience on this stage as he also fought on the first instalment of the series which is held at the Club Nokia in Los Angeles last June. It was an amazing feeling being there under Golden Boy and just exciting for me because I got the chance to fight in front of the LA people, my people that made the drive from Santa Ana, and those that saw me on TV fighting for the first time, stated Ramos. http://www.secondsout.com/usa-boxing-news/usa-boxing-news/good-things-come-in-threes
hopefully within time that will change.... But if I read between the lines correctly... your talking about the recent deaths?
Frankiej - sadly yes, i can not remember a time when three such prominent/loved champs went is such quick consecutive fashion, particularly as they were all of an age when they were entitled to many years of happiness. however i am sure they will always be loved/respected.
