Ramon Sosa has been one of the best boxing trainers in the southeast area of Texas. He taught young fighters who were steering in wrong directions how to be the best and what he learned during his time in Puerto Rico. This was part of his Young Prospects Boxing program. In an ESPN E:60 program set to air on Sunday at 9AM ET, it details how his wife tried to use his own fighter and get him killed.
Sosa’s gym was bringing in $20k a month and was living very comfortably with his wife Lourdes Dorantes aka Lulu. Sosa would soon mentor a man named Mundo who had gotten out of jail who was in there for 14 months but ended up beating his felony charge.
Sosa loved mentoring fighters like Mundo because they have a passion for the sport and not just the money.
“He took it upon himself to check up on me,” said Mundo of Sosa. “He didn’t have to do that. It meant a lot.”
Things veered a different way when Sosa met Lulu at a party at The Woodlands. They first met when she accidentally stepped on his foot withh heels and then he asked her to dance.
Woodlands Boxing and Fitness was started by both Sosa and Lulu. He saluted her hustler’s mentality in the way she helped run the gym. Sosa also helped her and her two children obtain U.S. citizenship.
Things officially went south when the two started arguing during a vacation to Puerto Rico. Lulu threatened to call Sosa’s mom but he said this is an issue just between the two of them.
Lulu called security and made the claim that he was abusing her so they ended up sleeping in separate rooms. Lulu would file for divorce in March 2015.
Sosa said that she wanted everything that he owned but he wanted it to be 50/50. He added that Lulu tried to lie and say that he embezzeled mony from Young Prospect. Police found no evidence of this though.
Lulu soo tried to drag Sosa’s fighter Mundo into the beef. He wanted no parts. Mundo soon saw her in the gym one day with her daughter discussing a man from Mexico who kills people.
“I wish he will leave,” said Lulu. “I wish the cops would pick him up. I just wish somebody will make him disappear.”
Right after she said this, Mundo knew that she meant someone shooting and killing Sosa.
Mundo couldn’t even train after she made this known. From that moment, he told her he knew someone who could get the job done and that man’s name was Paco.
Mundo soon told Sosa that Lulu wanted to kill him and he said “Shut the f*** up. Don’t play like that.” Mundo replied by saying that he’s seen the look in her eyes from other people before and that’s how he knows her motives.
Mundo recorded phone convos with Lulu for Sosa. Mundo went to Montgomery County Precinct 3 Constable’s Office and said that Lulu specifically used the word “dead” in text messages.
Police knew that telling the truth by Mundo was factual because in his gang member past, revealing things like this wasn’t common. Documents obtained by ESPN’s E:60 shows how she was telling Mundo that she was getting a headache from signing divorce papers. She’s also frustrated that Sosa isn’t giving her any money.
Lulu was still persistent in trying to get Mundo to kill his own mentor.
Mundo texted Lulu “Just remember, once he’s dead, there’s no coming back from that.” Lulu soon replied saying “Clearer than water.”
Sosa ended up faking his death with with looked like a gunshot wound to the temple at a scene where he looked like he was buried. He and Mundo basically played the roles of hitmen themselves.
