In April 1971 he knocked Baruzzi out and became champion again. However, Cane beat him in October and took the title back. March 1972 Ros won again the title, this time by defeating Armando Zanini . The following title defenses against Cane and Baruzzi were successful this time.

Ros lost the remaining fights, with two further attempts to become Italian champion failed. On the one hand in May 1975 ( Lorenzo Zanon won on points), on the other hand in September 1976; here he met his old opponent Dante Cane, who defeated him on points.
