Comments Thread For: Jose Ramirez Back in The Mix With Unanimous Decision Over Jose Pedraza

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Keith Idec - Jose Ramirez remains one of the top 140-pound boxers in the sport. The former WBC and WBO champion adjusted to Jose Pedraza's skill and intelligence during the second half of their 12-round fight Friday night and won a unanimous decision in Fresno, California. When the final bell sounded, the 29-year-old Ramirez won by the same score on all three cards, 116-112, in the main event of a nine-bout card at Fresno State University's Save Mart Center.

Jose Ramirez and Jose Pedraza understand the stakes. The junior welterweights know that the winner of Friday night's 12-round main event at Fresno's Save Mart Center will likely receive a world title shot next. Ramirez (26-1, 17 KOs) is a former unified world champion seeking to return to the division's apex. The journey back begins in the venue where he routinely packs crowds of more than 12,000 fans. Ramirez hails from the farming community of Avenal, about an hour's drive from Fresno.

Pedraza (29-3, 14 KOs), from Cidra, Puerto Rico, is a two-weight world champion with hopes of conquering a third weight class. He has won three straight bouts since losing a decision in his junior welterweight debut to Jose Zepeda.

The entire Ramirez-Pedraza card will stream and exclusively on ESPN+ starting at 7:15 p.m. ET/4:15 p.m. PT.

Ramirez just seems that bit better but I don't think the gap between them is too big. Thinking about common opponents, didn't a lot of people think Zepeda beat Ramirez? I would have to watch that one again to remember for sure but I had Ramirez-Postol even. So not like Ramirez separates himself from opponents often enough. I think Ramirez wins 7-5 type of fight but maybe if Pedraza shows up that much more motivated or with a great gameplan it goes the other way.

I bet on him, and even on a draw... Don't know, really. This fight could go anywhere.
