===Lightweight=== Moving up to lightweight, Camacho won the [[United States Boxing Association]] title against Roque Montoya with a twelve-round decision. His victory in the next fight, broadcast on [[Home Box Office]] (HBO), made him a two-time world champion. Camacho beat the [[Mexican people|Mexican]] defending world champion, [[José Luis Ramírez]] in [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]] to win the [[World Boxing Council|WBC]] world Lightweight championship. Camacho dropped Ramirez in round three and won the fight by a unanimous twelve-round decision. The two other reigning world champions in his division at that time, [[Livingstone Bramble]] and [[Jimmy Paul]], were reluctant to unify the crown with Camacho. Instead, he beat [[Freddie Roach (boxing)|Freddie Roach]] before his next fight of importance came along, ten months after beating Ramírez. [[Héctor Camacho vs. Edwin Rosario|He met]] former WBC lightweight champion [[Edwin Rosario]] on June 13, 1986, at [[Madison Square Garden]] in [[New York City]], a bout also broadcast on HBO. The fight was notable for the shifts of dominance between the men. Camacho dominated rounds one to four, but had to hang on in rounds five, six and seven, when he felt Rosario's power. He came back to take rounds eight and nine, but Rosario came back to take the last three rounds. It was a close fight, but Camacho retained the title by a split decision of the judges. Camacho retained his title against [[Cornelius Boza-Edwards]], a former world junior lightweight champion, in [[Miami]] in a unanimous decision, after dropping Edwards in the first round.
