BScene Ratings Update: Thurman, Mares, Tete, More

Welterweight: Keith Thurman moves up a bump off a decisive but entertaining decision over Robert Guerrero. Guerrero remains at the number ten slot for now.
Featherweight: Abner Mares won but was far from impressive on Saturday. Considering his general form since the Gonzalez loss, he slips below Evgeny Gradovich and Vasyl Lomachenko in the ratings.
Jr. Bantamweight: Zolani Tete’s knockout of former 118 lb. titlist Paul Butler gives him four straight wins. Factoring in an additional stoppage of Juan Carlos Sanchez, it’s enough to give him a bump past Carlos Cuadras for the second contender slot.
Strawweight: Knockout CP Freshmart moves up after a win over former titlist Muhammad Rachman. That’s two solid wins in a row in the fledgling Thai’s career.
The full results of note and the total impact on the ratings are a click away.
