BScene Ratings Update: Quigg, Gonzalez, Stieglitz
by Cliff Rold
Light Heavyweight: Yunieski Gonzalez appeared to do enough to outpoint Jean Pascal but didn’t get the nod. It’s enough here at least to earn him a spot in the top ten. Former titlist Beibut Shumenov exits, now competing at Cruiserweight.
Super Middleweight: Robert Stieglitz drops in the ratings after a knockout loss to Arthur Abraham.
Lightweight: Terry Flanagan crashes the top ten off an injury-aided WBO title win over undefeated Jose Zepeda.
Jr. Featherweight: Scott Quigg moves up, and Kiko Martinez moves down, after Quigg’s impressive stoppage of the former titlist.
Jr. Bantamweight: McJoe Arroyo gets a mild bump, and Arthur Villanueva holds serve, after their ugly, inconclusive scrap for the vacant IBF belt.
Flyweight: Moises Fuentes enters the top ten after a nice stoppage of former 105 lb. titlist Oswaldo Novoa.
Jr. Flyweight: Donnie Nietes maintains his lock on the top spot but the effort of challenger Francisco Rodriguez was enough to make room for him in the top ten. Former titlist Alberto Rossell exits the top ten.
Strawweight: Oswaldo Novoa exits the top ten. Jesus Silvestre returns to the top ten.
The full results of note and the total impact on the ratings are a click away.
