BoxingScene Ratings Update: Kovalev, CP Freshmart, More
By Cliff Rold
Light Heavyweight: Jean Pascal’s second loss to Sergey Kovalev sends him sharply down the ratings. Kovalev remains the top rated light heavyweight after lineal champion Adonis Stevenson. Sadly, they appear farther apart from fighting than ever. Kovalev awaits the results of Andre Ward’s fight in the spring with Sullivan Barrera to find out where his big fight happenings can occur.
Strawweight: Knockout CP Freshmart picked up the best victory of his young career with a decision over former titlist Carlos Buitrago. Freshmart looms as a significant threat to division leader Hekkie Budler.
The full results of note and the total impact on the ratings are a click away.
