- Javier Martinez UD-6 Rance Ward (60-54, 60-54, 60-54)
Tonight beginning at 7:30 pm ET streaming live on ESPN+, Jose Ramirez will defend his WBC and WBO junior welterweight titles against former titlist Viktor Postol in the main event of a six-round card from Top Rank.
Wil Esco will be on live round-by-round coverage for the main event and co-feature.
Ramirez, 28, is the strong favorite in this fight, in his prime and fighting well, but the technical skills of the 36-year-old Postol can’t be completely discounted. This fight is also finally going to actually happen, having been postponed twice already this year, and the first boxing card taken down by COVID-19, as it was originally set for Feb. 1 in China.
The co-feature will see emerging 140-pound contender Arnold Barboza Jr take on Tony Luis in a 10-round fight, and four more bouts will see prospects in action.
