Héctor Ramírez’s Professional Schedule Spanned More Than
Héctor Ramírez began his professional boxing career with a victory over Jay James in Columbus, Indiana, on March 14, 1987. His recorded schedule continued through July 2009 and took him to venues across the United States.
Career highlights
Born in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, on September 5, 1965, Ramírez was based in Columbus. His opening professional year included victories over James, Bobby Moore, Ray Bell and Tom Lally.
His later opponents included Paul Spadafora, Daniel Edouard, Robert Frazier and Troy Lowry. He also traveled to Tel Aviv in October 1993, losing to Johar Abu-Lashin in a contest for the vacant WBF lightweight title.
Later bouts and career record
Ramírez stopped Tim Elliott in Minnesota in November 2002 and February 2003. His meeting with Mike Stone later that February ended in a no contest.
His final listed appearance was a technical knockout defeat to Brian Cohen at the St. Paul Armory on July 25, 2009. The compiled career record contains fourteen wins, forty-nine defeats, one draw and two no contests.
Ramírez’s later schedule included two contests against Lou Bizzarro in 2002, both ending in decision defeats. His 1998 draw with Reggie Strickland came in North Vernon, Indiana. The following years took him through venues in Ohio, West Virginia, Illinois and Minnesota, reflecting the broad regional circuit on which he continued competing after his earlier lightweight title opportunity.
