 As the boxing world pays respect to the the fallen legend Mando Ramos, Boxing Confidential celebrates his life and professional boxing career by presenting August, 1970 classic against Cuba's Sugar Ramos.
This fight is a true beauty, as the men went to war over ten non-stop rounds.
Don Chargin, who provided BC the video and put together the bout, had the following to say about Ramos vs. Ramos on the day he was inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame for his life long services as a matchmacker and promoter...
"Wherever I go, I'm asked over all these years, what was the favorite fight that you put on, the fight that got you the most excited. I can say that this gentleman right here that is going in, Ultimino Sugar Ramos, when he fought Mando Ramos at the Olympic Auditorium, it was the greatest fight I've ever seen. They started toe-to-toe in the first 10 seconds and they went all the way. I have a picture at home, when the fight was over, they are leaning on each other, with a big embrace, holding each other up, and they are both cut about and below both eyes. I've never seen anything like it. The Olympic Auditorium held 10,400 people and that night we had better than 13,000 people there. We closed circuited it to five theaters and finally Aileen Eaton, who I was associated with at the time, put a closed circuit camera and showed it free on the side of the building. There was nobody who paid their money for that fight who didn't get value received. And Sugar Ramos was one of the best"
Enjoy the fight!
