Mexico City's Ramon "Golden Boy" Ayala Fights This Saturday in Mexicali, Mexico
PhilBoxing.com Wed, 07 Dec 2011
Hard battling Mexico City native Ramon "Golden Boy" Ayala (21-2-1, 10KOs) will be part of the Saturday, December 10th "Noche de Luces en Calafia" fight card presented by Erik "Terrible" Morales' Box Latino in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico. The twenty-two year old Ayala will face hardened veteran Victor "Firu" Corvala (7-17-5, 2KOs) of Santa Fe, Argentina, in an eight round lightweight contest. A firework filled battle is expected between the busy boxer Ayala and the come forward Corvala.
Despite the majority of his bouts have been in Mexico City and its surrounding areas since becoming a professional fighter in mid '06, Ayala is no stranger to fighting out of his hometown. Ayala has traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada, Cabazon, California and the tiny Caribbean island of Haiti to earn a living. Saturday will mark the first time that Ayala performs in the northern edge of Mexico, a fact that doesn't escape him, "I am very happy to fight in Mexicali, somewhere new for me. I want to win over the boxing fans and that is why I am working very hard in the gym so I can give a great fight."
For the last two weeks, Ayala has been getting ready at Jose "Olivaritos" Morales' gym located in the tough neighborhood of the North Zone or Zona Norte of Tijuana, Mexico.
"We know that Corvala is a tough fighter who throws a lot of punches like his majority of the fighters from his country," Ayala stated regarding his next opponent. "We are expecting a tough fight but we are sure that at the end, our hand will be the one raised."
In the main event of Box Latino's "Noches de Luces en Calafia", undefeated Pedro "Pedrin" Guevara (15-0-1, 11KOs) of Sinaloa will defend his NABF light flyweight title versus local favorite Manuel "Menny" Jimenez (11-1-1, 5KOs) in a scheduled twelve round bout. The championship bout will be televised live in Mexico by Televisa. The event will be part of the re-inauguration of the world famous Calafia bull ring which was recently renovated. Tickets are still available at the bullring's box office.
