John Ramirez face Van Thao Tran at SAP Center, San Jose, California on Friday, part of the 2026 Super Flyweight season. Both fighters' recent records, methods of victory, and stylistic matchup factors are detailed alongside the prediction below.
ATS PREDICTION
John Ramirez Win
Predicted: 116-112
โก87%
John Ramirez, fighting as the home fighter in this prediction, holds a strong professional record of 16-1-0 with 9 KOs and is currently ranked #1 by the WBA in the Super Flyweight division. He has a significant reach advantage (173 cm vs 168 cm) over Van Thao Tran, which could be crucial for controlling distance and landing punches effectively. Ramirez is in excellent recent form, having won 4 of his last 5 opponents, including a majority decision victory in January 2026. While Van Thao Tran also boasts an impressive record of 19-2-0 with 11 KOs and is on a winning streak, his most recent title fights in 2025 and 2024 were at Bantamweight, a weight class above Super Flyweight. This potential move down in weight could impact his conditioning or power at Super Flyweight. Ramirez's consistent performance and high ranking within the Super Flyweight division give him a distinct edge in this contest.
SPREAD PREDICTION
John Ramirez -4.5 (-4.5)
87%
Given John Ramirez's higher ranking in the Super Flyweight division and his recent activity and success within this weight class, he is expected to win comfortably on the scorecards. His reach advantage and consistent performance suggest he will outpoint Van Thao Tran over the course of the fight. The -4.5 spread anticipates Ramirez winning a majority of the rounds, or securing a late stoppage.
TOTAL PREDICTION
Over 9.5
67%
Both fighters have demonstrated durability, with Ramirez averaging 5.8 rounds per fight and Tran having gone the distance in many of his recent bouts, including 10 and 12-round decisions. While both possess knockout power, their recent fights indicate a tendency to go to the judges' scorecards against quality opposition. This suggests a prolonged contest is more likely than an early finish.

Will the fight go the distance?

๐ฅ Round Betting
Round Group Betting (e.g., Rounds 7-9)
N/A (no specific pick without odds)
Without specific odds or a clearer indication of a late stoppage, this market is speculative. If a stoppage occurs, it's likely in the later rounds due to accumulation.
๐ Fighter Props
First to be knocked down
Van Thao Tran
While both have solid chins, Ramirez's power at Super Flyweight and his reach advantage give him a slightly better chance of landing a fight-altering shot first.
Total KOs in the fight
Under 1.5
Given the expectation of the fight going the distance, multiple knockdowns or KOs are less likely. A single knockdown could occur, but a fight-ending KO for either fighter is not the most probable outcome.
