Attendance; 6000

They had a regular venue in 1978, once a month Friday Night Fights.

Jose Luis Ramriez was the local 'Superstar' at the Arena, having fought there '18' times.
The bouts were usually broadcast by SIN (Spanish International Network).

Jose Luis had been 'blowing out' over-matched opponents, which he was fed a steady diet of while
building up his 43-1-0 record.

This was a scheduled 10-Rounder, at the 129 lb. weight-level.

The Fight,

Round 1,

Ruben came out boxing and moving, using his left jab. Jose Luis slowly 'stalked' while reaching with his right
hand from his southpaw stance.

Nothing much exciting through the first 2:20, until Ruben started to 'bait' Jose Luis into throwing punches.
And when Jose Luis attempted a few left hand leads, Ruben timed one and countered with a hard overhand right
that landed 'flush' on Ramirez' jaw at the (2:43 Mark).

Jose Luis' legs 'buckled', and he backed up into Ruben's corner, where Ruben opened up with a barrage. Jose Luis took
about a dozen solid punches before being saved by the bell.

Jose Luis walked back to his corner on 'pins and needles'.

Round 2,

Ruben being the smart veteran, rushed out quickly, and went right after Jose Luis by bombing away. Ruben drove
Jose Luis into the ropes and threw a barrage that had him 'dazed', and nearly dropped him with a wide left hook.

Jose Luis tried to hold on, but Ruben fought him off, and threw a bombardment of punches that spun Jose Luis into
the far right neutral-corner. After a 20-Second non-stop barrage, Jose Luis Ramirez' corner threw in the towel, and the bout
was stopped by TKO at 1:17 of Round 2.
