Ramírez 139.8 vs Postol 139.7 for Super Lightweight War in Las Vegas

By Carlos Costa

Unified WBC/WBO Super Lightweight World champion Mexican-American José Ramírez (25-0, 17 KO’s), and his tough Ukrainian challenger Viktor Postol (21-2, 12 KO’s) made weight ahead of their hot battle today Saturday, August 29, at at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

Both fighters looked in great shape for the exciting war; the world champion Ramírez weighing-in at 139.8 pound; the challenger Postol making 139.7 lbs.

Fans will surely witness an explosive, thrilling fight of great technical quality.

Battle-tested world-class warrior, Viktor Postol, 36, is glory-hungry, strong and experienced.

His only two loses have been by points against hard-hitting undefeated reigning world champions of really high level: Josh Taylor (16-0, 12 KO’s) and Terence Crawford (36-0, 27 KO’s). Those sluggers could not stop Postol.

Is Ramírez is the same level of Taylor and Crawford?

The fight is by no means easy for the younger 28-year-old Mexican-American.

Still, I am betting on the good skills, momentum and punching power of José Ramírez. We’ll find out.

Promoted by Top Rank, Ramírez VS Postol will be televised live on ESPN, fans wondering who will emerge VICTORIOUS..??
