In this Norcalboxing.net exclusive, Vicente Escobedo, preparing for his May 12 fight against Juan Ruiz in his hometown of Woodland, had some words of congratulations and advice for new Region 11 Olympian Jose Ramirez of Avenal.  Escobedo and Oakland's Andre Ward were the last Olympians out of the area when they traveled to Athens eight years ago.
