Boxing Rankings
Boxing had a thriller at Jr. Middleweight when “The Towering Inferno,” Sebastian Fundora, faced “the Hammer” Erickson Lubin. Down went Fundora in round 7 and down went Lubin in round 2 before the fight was mercifully stopped in round 9 with Lubin looking like he was on the wrong end of his nickname. Fundora is now ranked #3. Lubin slips to #6. Patrick Teixeira, who was disqualified in a super middleweight bout Saturday night, exits due to divisional inactivity and makes way for Liam Smith to return to #10. Smith faces Jessie Vargas later this month.
At Lightweight, Shuichiro Yoshino defeated Masayuki Ito by technical decision in round 11 and takes #10. Emmanuel Tagoe (#9) exits the rankings after a loss to #5-ranked Ryan Garcia.
Bantamweight also saw some changes: Nordine Oubaali (#5) retires and two-division contender Takuma Inoue exits his #6 ranking here due to inactivity. Lee McGregor, the last bumped, takes #9 and Alexandro Santiago, who just defeated Juan Daniel Ramirez a few weeks ago, takes #10.
Christofer Rosales is defeated by 21-year-old Angel Ayala, who takes his #8 ranking. Third-ranked Junto Nakatani is proposed to advance passed both Julio Cesar Martinez and Sunny Edwards all the way to #1 after defeating Ryota Yamauchi, but the proposal goes down to defeat and he remains where he is, at #3.
