A pair of top junior welterweights clash on Friday night in Fresno, California, looking to get back to the title level
In the 10 months since suffering his first defeat against Josh Taylor in their undisputed championship duel at 140 pounds, former unified titleholder Jose Ramirez has undergone a plethora of self-discovery. Jose Ramirez -575 Jose Pedraza +425 Super lightweight Joet Gonzalez -650 Jeo Santisima +475 Featherweight Gabriel Flores Jr. -330 Abraham Montoya +260 Super featherweight
Ramirez (26-1, 17 KOs), who was dropped twice in a close decision defeat last May, believes he has figured out the necessary adjustments to make in order to fuel up for another run at a junior welterweight world title. And luckily for boxing fans, the proud native of California's Central Valley isn't in need of a soft touch to test himself first.
Instead, the 29-year-old Ramirez is headed back to the deep end of the pool on Friday when he returns home to Fresno to headline a 12-round test against former two-division champion Jose Pedraza (29-3, 14 KOs) at Save Mart Arena (8 p.m. ET, ESPN+).
