Luis Ramos Jr. is a Mexican American former professional boxer. [1]

Contents

Amateur career

Ramos began boxing at the age of 10 in Santa Ana, California. His first trainer was Manuel Garcia. After a few years, he moved on to train with Hector Lopez. He went on to compete as a top amateur, winning several national championships. As an amateur, he ended his career with a 120–16 record. After falling short of a spot on the 2008 Olympic team, Ramos turned pro. [2]

Professional career

Ramos made his pro debut as a lightweight on October 19, 2007, knocking out Christian Jose Reyes in one round. Over the next year, Luis continued his strong start, knocking out two of his four opponents in the first round. On July 30, 2007, Luis faced fellow rising prospect Aaron Dominguez, stopping him in the fifth round. [3]

In July 2009 Ramos was signed to Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions. [4]

Ramos won his next eight fights in the lightweight division before moving up to light welterweight.

On May 1, 2010, Ramos faced Allen Litzau on the undercard of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Shane Mosley bout at the MGM Grand Las Vegas. [5] The first of his fights at light welterweight, he defeated Litzau via second-round TKO.

On January 6, 2012, Ramos fought Raymundo Beltran in the headline event of Showtime's ShoBox. A veteran boxer and sparring partner of Manny Pacquiao, Beltran was Ramo's toughest opponent to date. [6] In a hard-fought contest, Ramos won by unanimous decision, winning the vacant NABA USA lightweight title. [7]

Ramos was stopped in his last two fights, one against Ricardo Williams Jr. on December 8, 2012, and recently Fidel Maldonado on November 11, 2013, on Fox Sports 1. In both fights, Ramos suffered cuts. Against Williams, the referee and doctor put a stop to the action in the 5th round due to the cut. In his fight against Maldonado, Ramos Jr. was cut in the first round and ultimately being KO'd in the 7th round at the 17 second mark. Ramos is now in a scary portion of his career where his dream to chase a world championship is starting to drift away following these two fights against inferior opponents.
