BoxingScene Ratings Update: Broner, Bey, Gonzalez

by Cliff Rold

Jr. Middleweight/Welterweight: Floyd Mayweather defends both his historical crowns and a slew of alphabet belts to maintain his spots.  Maidana loses a slot in the Welterweight ratings, advancing Kell Brook.

Jr. Welterweight: Adrien Broner enters at number ten after a working win over Emanuel Taylor.  Viktor Postol is bumped from the top ten.

Lightweight: Mickey Bey enters the top ten with a debatable decision over long reigning IBF titlist Miguel Vazquez.  While there was some justification for the decision, the atrocious scorecard of judge Robert Hoyle left the fight with only two scorecards from the seeing.  Raymundo Beltran advances in the ratings and the winner of Crawford-Beltran will crown a new World Champion in the division.

Jr. Featherweight: On the strength of his second win over Kiko Martinez, and the recent lackluster competition of Leo Santa Cruz, Carl Frampton advances to the top contenders slot.  Martinez slips behind Scott Quigg who picked up a knockout of former Bantamweight title challenger Stephane Jamoye.

Jr. Bantamweight: David Sanchez enters the top ten, replacing Oleydong Sithsamerchai.

Flyweight: Lots of movement at Flyweight as Roman Gonzalez wins the World Championship and Amnat Ruenroeng jumps to the #2 slot, behind Juan Francisco Estrada, after a decision over McWilliams Arroyo.  Toshiyuki Igarashi exits, now contending at 115, and Yodmongkol Vor Saengthep enters the ratings.  Arroyo, who was right there with Ruenroeng, moves ahead of Segura who was soundly defeated.

The full results of note and the total impact on the ratings are a click away.
