The Rematch: Pernell Whitaker vs. Jose Luis Ramirez II
Norfolk, VA
135 lbs
Chris Wollesen
WBC/IBF Lightweight Championship
When Julio Cesar Chavez vacates the WBC Lightweight Championship to move up to 140 pounds, IBF Champion Pernell Whitaker gets an opportunity at another title as well as revenge against the man who won a controversial decision over him, Jose Luis Ramirez. Unlike the first bout fought on Ramirez's French turf, Whitaker schools his foe in front of his Norfolk fans the second time around. For twelve rounds, Whitaker lands power shots at will and dances out of harm's way, pitching a near shutout and exacting sweet vengeance.
