The pride of the Central Valley boxer Jose Ramirez defeated Antonio Orozco Sept. 15 to boost his undefeated record to 23-0.

In probably one of the toughest fights of his career, Ramirez knocked Orozco down once in the fourth round and then again in the eighth round, but Orozco got up both times and continue to fight. It was a fight that many in the industry are calling a strong candidate for fight of the year.
