“But it was a great fight, and it’s always an honor for me to fight in my hometown.” “I think I won more than eight rounds,” he added. I got to see where I’m at right now and where I’ve got to improve,” Ramirez said, admitting he was a bit “tense” in the fight. My hat’s off to him and his team, he was well-prepared. He was there boxing towards the end of the fight. It wasn’t a thrilling fight, not a lot of high drama, but it was high-level boxing and Ramirez got back on the winning track. He did it effectively enough to pull the fight out and claim a deserved victory. Ramirez, though, did make some adjustments, stopped coming in on such a straight line, adding some head movement and using his jab a bit more down the stretch, setting up chances to land right hands. Ramirez started the night looking to stay aggressive on the front foot, but Pedraza got the timing down on him in the middle rounds and went on a nice run in rounds six through eight in particular. Pedraza is a legitimate contender, has won world titles in two divisions, and has a tricky style, with some slickness and real boxing ability, and a strong ring IQ. Pedraza (29-4, 14 KO) definitely gave Ramirez a sincere test, and it was nice to see a fighter like Ramirez not come back from his first career loss with a “tune-up” or “get-well” fight. Bad Left Hook had it slightly closer, scoring the fight 115-113 for Ramirez on our unofficial card. Ramirez (27-1, 17 KO) won on scores of 116-112 from all three judges. Jose Ramirez bounced back with a solid win tonight at home in Fresno, winning by unanimous decision over Jose Pedraza and putting himself right in line for another shot at a 140 lb title.
