(Sports Network) - Ulises Solis retained his IBF light flyweight title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Glenn Donaire Saturday night.
Solis (27-1-2), who was successful in his seventh title defense, won by scores of 120-108 on two scorecards and 120-107 on another.
Stopped by WBO champion Nelson Dieppa in his first title try in 2004, Solis came back to win the IBF's 108-pound crown with a decision over American Will Grigsby on the Baldomir-Judah undercard at Madison Square Garden in January 2006.
Donaire (17-4-1), who turned pro in 2000, lost a six-round technical decision to Vic Darchinyan in a bid for the IBF and IBO flyweight titles in October 2006. Donaire then won an eight-round decision from Jose Albuquerque on February 22 to set up this bout.
Also Saturday, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (37-0-1) earned a hard-fought split decision over Matt Vanda (38-7) in a junior middleweight bout. Chavez won by scores of 97-93 and 100-90, while losing 96-95 on another card.
