Despite a flat performance Northern California's Jose Carlos Ramirez retained the WBC and WBO super lightweight world titles by majority decision against Ukraine's Viktor Postol on Saturday in Las Vegas.
It sets up a possible rare unification bout with Scotland's Josh Taylor to unify all the super lightweight titles. Taylor currently holds the WBA and IBF versions.
Ramirez (26-0, 17 KOs) had a spotty performance against former champion Postol (31-3, 12 KOs) whose lengthy jabs and penchant for holding tied up the champion at the MGM Grand Bubble. Neither fighter was able to gain any serious momentum.
