Heavyweight: Deontay Wilder won again but doesn’t move up after struggling in spots with an unrated challenger. Wilder, if he takes his mandatory, will have a big proving ground later this year with Alexander Povetkin.
Light Heavyweight: Rated Thomas Oosthuizen missed weight for his last fight but remains rated until his future course is set.
Middleweight: Daniel Geale slips out of the ratings following a loss to Miguel Cotto and the inclusion of David Lemieux after a big win over rated Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam. N’Jikam falls in the ratings but remains after a valiant effort.
Jr. Middleweight: WBO titlist Demetrius Andrade exits the ratings for inactivity with no fight scheduled. Given his age, this level of inactivity is head scratching and needs resolution. Unbeaten Julian Williams enters the top ten.
Welterweight: Shawn Porter gets a bump in the ratings after a dominant win over former Welterweight titlist Adrien Broner.
Jr. Welterweight: By all appearances, Danny Garcia is done at 140 lbs. He remains rated as champion here technically but a likely, full vacancy is expected. Adrien Broner remains rated as he was after a loss in a higher division.
Jr. Lightweight: Jose Pedraza turned in a career best performance against Andrey Klimov, won a vacant belt, and made a move up the top ten.
Featherweight: Jesus Cuellar moves up a few with a hopefully career-ending knockout of Vic Darchinyan. Nicholas Walters remains rated for the time being despite losing his title on the scales. A move to Jr. Lightweight is anticipated.
Bantamweight: Lee Haskins enters the top ten off a thrilling title win. A showdown for the IBF title with Randy Caballero looms.
The full results of note and the total impact on the ratings are a click away.
