Luis ramos lands in san jose for bout at hp pavilion

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.”
