RAMON LUGO.—Mexican lightweight fought in 57 contests in which he won 33, lost 17, and had 7 no decisions-all within just four years. Between March 1927 and the end of 1928, Ramon fought 28 times with 22 wins, 2 losses, and 4 no decisions. On August 31,1929, Lugo would fight Barney Ross in his debut. Ross would later be a boxing champion in three weight divisions.
Despite his success, I can’t connect him to someone before or after. I hope that he was the Ramon Lugo pulled from the bus in Banning on Aug 20, 1935, & arrested for taking $30 from Eloissa Moraga. Charges were dropped after he married her. That makes a great story.
