Top Rank has announced that the February 5 clash between super lightweights Jose Ramirez and Jose Pedraza is being moved to March 4 after Pedraza fell ill with flulike symptoms that turned out to be COVID-19. The Save Mart Center in Fresno, California, will still be the venue.
Ramirez-Pedraza was facing stiff competition on the original February 5 date, going up against the Thurman-Barrios PPV and a world title twinbill on DAZN.
More interesting for me, in two weeks, the rematch Subriel Matias vs Petros Ananyan
Code name- Covid
True definition of a crossroads “must win” fight for Ramirez-Pedraza. Ramirez is a true quality fighter and we’ll see what he has left after the Josh Taylor. Ramirez is likely the reason Mickey Garcia is not undefeated at 140lbs. He went up to avoid his gym mate (Ramirez) and paid huge price with his career.
