Ronnie Magramo (born 1972), is a retired Filipino professional boxer. He was a contender in the Minimumweight division (105 lbs) during the 1990s.

Early life Magramo was born in 1972 in Oriental Mindoro, Philippines. He comes from a family of boxers, including Ric Magramo Sr., a contender in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as Ric Magramo Jr., Melvin Magramo, and Giemel Magramo. The media has dubbed them the "Skull and Crossbones Family."

Career He made his professional debut in 1989 when he challenged Ala Villamor for the Philippines Minimumweight title. However, he suffered a knockout loss in the eighth round in 1992. Although he stood only , Magramo frequently traveled to Thailand to fight. While he did not always come out victorious, he consistently gave his local opponents a run for their money.

On August 22, 1993, he lost by unanimous decision to Chana Porpaoin in a WBA Minimumweight title bout held in Saraburi province. He returned to Thailand on February 22, 1994, to face Ratanapol Sor Vorapin for the IBF Mini Flyweight title in Bang Mun Nak district, Phichit province, but was once again defeated by unanimous decision.

Three months later, Magramo fought Wanwin Charoen for the Mini Flyweight title sanctioned by the World Boxing Federation, which marked the first WBF event held in Thailand. This time, he claimed victory by knockout in the second round. He successfully defended the title twice. His first defense was against Indonesian boxer Faisol Akbar in Manila. In his second defense, he narrowly defeated Thai boxer Nungdiaw Sakcharuporn by split decision on February 19, 1995, in Bangkok. However, he later lost the title to Fahsang Pongsawang in another match in Bangkok.

Magramo regained the title by knocking out Pongsawang in the tenth round at Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Malate, Manila. But on September 29, 1996, he lost the championship again to Pongsawang, this time by a wide margin on the judge's scorecards in a fight held in Selaphum district, Roi Et province, in northeastern Thailand.

After that, Magramo earned seven consecutive wins. On January 30, 1999, he challenged for the vacant WBA interim Minimumweight title against Songkram Porpaoin in Pattaya, Chonburi province. The bout ended in the eighth round due to a head injury suffered by Porpaoin, and Magramo lost by technical decision. He retired from professional boxing shortly afterward.
