LAS VEGAS -- Josh Taylor and Jose Ramirez's undisputed junior welterweight title fight lived up to billing.

Only one could make history, though, and remain undefeated on Saturday night. Taylor did enough to pick up the unanimous decision at the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, winning 114-112 on all three scorecards.

Taylor becomes only the sixth men's boxer to being an undisputed champion in the four-belt era (since 1988). Taylor also becomes the first Scottish fighter to hold all four titles in any division.

Taylor (18-0, 13 KOs) used two big rounds in the middle of the fight to give him enough cushion for the victory.
