By Keith Idec - LAS VEGAS - The two knockdowns Josh Taylor scored Saturday night enabled him to make history.

Judges Tim Cheatham, Dave Moretti and Steve Weisfeld scored their fan-friendly fight exactly the same, 114-112 for Taylor.

Ramirez (26-0, 17 KOs) and Taylor (17-0, 13 KOs) are fighting, not only to maintain their unbeaten records, but to become the sixth man to attain undisputed status in the four-belt era.

For the second time since the matchup was officially announced nearly three months ago, the two best 140-pound fighters in the world were face to face. A little good-natured trash talk followed. But that's to be expected.

Jose Ramirez 139.6 lbs vs. Josh Taylor 139.6 lbs
(Undisputed Junior Welterweight World Title — 12 Rounds)
Judges: Tim Cheatham, Dave Moretti and Steve Weisfeld
Referee: Kenny Bayless

Ramirez by late KO. I don't get the "slick" boxer aspect of his game. He can be hit and has been hurt plenty of times through out his career. Also him acting like a tard with his prefight antics makes him look like he's overcompensating for something. I got Ramirez late.

I think Taylor will edge it but this is going to be such a closely contested fight! Ramirez is the more likeable guy for sure so I can't be upset if he wins. I think Taylor looks a bit more special to my eyes so that's why I'm giving him the edge. He also has the better win out of the two (Prograis). Looking forward to a WAR! Boxing Wins!
