Former unified champion Jose Ramirez is once more in contention for a title shot and back at world level.
He achieved this through a hard fought but in the end a unanimous points decision victory in Fresno, California over Rances Barthelemy.
The fight was at welterweight.
The options at 147 lbs. moving forward for Ramirez are plentiful to say the least.

Three wins on the spin now for Ramirez since that night.
