PINOY PRIDE XIX: INTERVIEW with JOSE ?NEGRO? RAMIREZ By Mike Angel Lopez PhilBoxing.com Mon, 25 Mar 2013  In an early Sunday morning interview (evening in Mexico) from the beautiful coastal town of Minglanilla in Cebu, Philippines to Mexicali, the capital of Baja California and situated on the U.S. ? Mexico border, I had a nice conversation with the tough Mexican Jose ?Negro? Ramirez (24-3-17KO) who will go into battle with the Philippines WBO International Featherweight Champion Rey ?Boom Boom? Bautista (34-2-25KO) at the Pinoy Pride 19 event this coming April 20th in the beautiful place of Davao City. The people of Davao City are colloquially called Davaoenos. Davaoenos are a mixture of Filipino, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Arabic races and being the third most populous metropolitan in the country. A great place to showcase Pinoy Pride. LOPEZ: Are you excited to fight in the Philippines? (?Est?s emocionado de pelear en las Filipinas?) RAMIREZ: The truth is, I?m very motivated! (la verdad, siii estoy motivado!) LOPEZ: This is a very important fight for you, are you well prepared? (Esta es una pelea muy importante para ti, ?est?s bien preparado? RAMIREZ: Yes, I am very prepared; I have trained 3 months for this fight. ( sii estoy buen preparado, tengo tres meses entrenado para esta pelea.) LOPEZ: Have you seen videos of Bautista on YOUTUBE and do you know his style of fighting? (has visto peleas de Bautista en YOUTUBE y sabes que es estilo de boxeo de Bautista?) RAMIREZ: Yes I have seen videos of Bautista, and also my stable mate Antonio Meza who has fought Bautista in the past. I also talked to Daniel Ponce Deleon recently here in Mexicali and he offered his advice on how to beat Bautista. He showed me the weakness of Bautista and how to get a ?KNOCKOUT?. (S?, he visto videos de Bautista, y tambi?n mi compa?ero estable Antonio Meza ha boxeo contra Bautista en el pasado. Tambi?n habl? con Daniel Ponce De Le?n recientemente aqu? en Mexicali y ofreci? sus consejos sobre c?mo golpear a Bautista. Me mostr? la debilidad de Bautista y c?mo conseguir un "KNOCKOUT".) 
LOPEZ: What is the name of your trainer? (cual es el nombre de su entrenador?) RAMIREZ: Francisco Martinez LOPEZ: Is your record correct, (24-3-15KO)? (?Es su registro correcto, (24-3-15KO)?) RAMIREZ: No, I have 17 knockouts.. (no, yo tiengo 17 knockouts) LOPEZ: You have not fought at 126 pounds in over two years, can you make 126? (Usted no ha peleado en las 126 libras en m?s de dos a?os, ?puedes hacer 126?) RAMIREZ: Yes, it will not be a problem. (No es un problema) LOPEZ: What day will you arrive to the Philippines? (?Qu? d?a te llega a las Filipinas?) RAMIREZ: I will arrive on the 15th of April, five days before the fight. (Voy a llegar el 15 de abril, cinco dias antes de el pelea.) LOPEZ: This is your first time fighting out of Mexico; can you adjust to the weather and the long travel? (esta es la primera vez que la lucha fuera de M?xico, puede adaptarse a las condiciones meteorol?gicas y el largo viaje?) RAMIREZ: I will leave Mexico in good shape and after 24 hours in the Philippines, i will be ok. (Voy a salir de M?xico en buena forma y despu?s de 24 horas en las Filipinas, voy a estar bien.) LOPEZ: Are you worried about having Filipino judges? (?Le preocupa tener jueces filipinos?) RAMIREZ: YES, i was told by many people that it is hard to get a decision in the Philippines that makes me more determined to win. (s?, me dijeron que por mucha gente que es dif?cil obtener una decisi?n en las Filipinas que me hace m?s decidido a ganar.) LOPEZ: Who have you been sparring with? (?Qui?n ha sido sparring con?) RAMIREZ: I have sparred with World Champions Abner Mares, Hugo Ruiz (brother of Heriberto Ruiz who had beaten Bautista in the past) and Antonio Meza (past opponent of Bautista who lost by UD) (Soy sparring con Mundo del Campeones Abner Mares, Hugo Ruiz (hermano de Heriberto Ruiz, antes ganar contra Bautista) y Antonio Meza (opositor pasado de Bautista que perdi? por UD) (Heriberto Ruiz) LOPEZ: Do you have a message for Rey Bautista and the Filipino people? (?Tiene alg?n mensaje para Rey Bautista y el pueblo Filipino?) RAMIREZ: I am thankful for the opportunity and i will bring the title back to Mexico. (Estoy agradecido por la oportunidad y voy a traer el t?tulo a M?xico.) LOPEZ: Will you win by KNOCKOUT? (Tu ganar de KNOCKOUT?) RAMIREZ: I have trained to go twelve rounds and if the knockout comes, then it happens. (He entrenado a ir doce asaltos y si el nocaut llega, entonces sucede.) LOPEZ: Do you have any thing you would like to ask? (?Tiene usted alguna cosa que te gustar?a hacer?) RAMIREZ: (S?, ?c?mo ves la pelea Miguel, ya que usted sabe Bautista?) Yes, how do you see the fight Miguel, since you know Bautista? LOPEZ: Bautista is a good fighter, and is well disciplined. He will come to fight and you better expect a hard fight. Bautista had a hard fight and won by split decision against Daniel Ruiz this past October and some fans believed Ruiz won. Bautista will be well conditioned. My advice for you is to train hard, make weight and come in tip top shape. There are many Mexicans in the Philippines and they will cheer for you. My motto is always, ?MAY THE BEST MAN WIN.? (Bautista es un buen boxeador, y est? bien disciplinados. ?l vendr? a pelear y es mejor esperar una pelea dura. Bautista tuvo una dura pelea y gan? por decisi?n dividida en contra de Daniel Ruiz, el pasado octubre, y algunos fans creen Ruiz gan?. Bautista ser? bien acondicionado. Mi consejo para ti es entrenar duro, hacer el peso y llegar en la mejor forma. Hay muchos mexicanos en las Filipinas y que se alegran por ti. Mi lema siempre es: "QUE gane el mejor".) RAMIREZ: Gracias Miguel LOPEZ: Thank You for your time!!!! Click here to view a list of other articles written by Mike Angel Lopez.  |
